PLOS now offers accepted authors the opportunity to publish the peer review history of their manuscript alongside the final article. The peer review history package includes the complete editorial decision letter for each revision, with reviews, and your responses to reviewer comments, including attachments.
If the peer reviewers have chosen to sign their reviews, their names will also appear. Sharing peer review history enriches the scientific record, increases transparency and accountability, and helps to reinforce the validity of your research by displaying the thoroughness of the peer review process it has undergone. The journal reserves the right not to publish peer review history in special cases, for example, due to an ethical consideration, such as the inclusion of information about a vulnerable population.
Authors can request that submissions with reviewer reports, if relevant rejected from one PLOS journal be transferred to another PLOS journal for further consideration there. In addition, PLOS ONE has partnered with the Neuroscience Peer Review Consortium to help ensure that the time and expertise that reviewers devote to assessing a manuscript is not lost if authors decide to submit to another journal. We will contact individual reviewers for permission to transmit their names to the recipient journal and will otherwise transmit the reports anonymously.
Authors may submit a formal appeal for rejected submissions. Appeal requests must be made in writing to plosone plos. Decisions on appeals are final without exception. Priority is given to new submissions, so the appeal process may take longer than the original submission process. If you have questions at any stage in the process, please email us.
