In addition to the interesting findings that the authors present about bibliometric reporting guidelines, the article also does a great job in showing the value of open peer review.

This study illustrates why openness should be the default in peer review!

Transformative change won’t come from simply shifting who pays fees—it will come from grassroots action and top-down reform of what we value & reward.
