<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">With regards to this really excellent initiative I am looking in to the various degrees in transparency of the peer review process. Has anybody examples at

right now.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

are scholarly organizations that have seen an increase in the number of membership applications from both legitimate and non-legitimate publishers and journals. Our organizations have collaborated in an effort to identify principles of transparency and best
practice that set apart legitimate journals and publishers from non-legitimate ones and to clarify that these principles form part of the criteria on which membership applications will be evaluated.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
