Abstract: Life introduced open peer review in 2014. The linked presentation is an editorial published at http://www.mdpi.com/2075-1729/5/1/212/htm providing an introduction. An accompanying blog post can be found at http://blog.mdpi.com/2014/05/16/introducing-open-peer-review-to-the-journal-life/, and the first paper published with open peer review at http://www.mdpi.com/2075-1729/4/2/217. Since then, the authors of 19 out of 59 papers have opted to have the review reports published, although only a small number of reviewers agree to identify themselves with the published review reports.
