There are several types of peer review, including:
- Single-blind Review: The reviewers know the identity of the authors, but the authors do not know the reviewers' identities. This is the most common form of peer review.
- Double-blind Review: Both the authors and the reviewers are anonymous to each other, which helps to prevent bias.
- Open Review: Both parties know each other's identities, promoting transparency and accountability.
Each type has its advantages and potential drawbacks, and the choice often depends on the journal's policies and the field of research.
