There are several types of peer review, each with its own advantages and challenges:
Single-blind Review: The reviewers know the identity of the authors, but the authors do not know the reviewers. Double-blind Review: Both the reviewers and the authors are anonymous to each other. Open Review: Both the reviewers and authors know each other's identities, promoting transparency. Post-publication Review: The manuscript is published first, and the review occurs afterward, allowing for community-wide scrutiny.
