What options are acceptable, and by what criteria will a journal be judged to have engaged in &#8220;opening&#8221; its peer review? And how will this impact perfectly valid small single-editor journals in the arts and humanities?  In which, for instance, the editor is the world-expert on the niche topic and single-handedly does a &#8216;light-touch&#8217; peer-review on the year&#8217;s articles?  Will they be forced to take on a new Peer Review Board, and then run and chase it, or else leave the Brazilian SciELO?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Brazilian SciELO is updating its inclusion criteria.
