Open Evaluation, a more transparent way to be reviewed

" Evaluation steers the attention of the scientific community and thus the very course of science. It also influences the use of scientific findings in public policy. The current system of scientific publishing provides only journal prestige as an indication of the quality of new papers and relies on a non-transparent and noisy pre-publication peer-review process, which delays publication by many months on average. Here I propose an OE system, in which papers are evaluated post-publication in an ongoing fashion by means of open peer review and rating."

Open Science Evaluation
A collection of links about open assessment of research results, not limited to peer-reviewers, but requiring the community’s contribution.
Open Peer Review, Metrics, and Evaluation
Chapter about open evaluation from The Open Science Training Handbook.
Training Module: Open Evaluation, from the Open Science MOOC
"Concurrent with broader developments in Open Science and increased transparency in research, Open Peer Review is a complex, and rapidly evolving topic. Alongside this, more diverse criteria of research evaluation beyond traditional methods are emerging, and with these come a range of practical, ethical, and social factors to consider. This module will provide insight into current developments in Open Peer Review and research evaluation."
