[Gerry Mckiernan]

Colleagues/

I have been invited to write a review of Open Peer Review initiatives

 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peer_review#Dynamic_and_open_peer_review ].

While I have written on various novel publication initiatives over the past several years

 *E is for Everything: The Extra-Ordinary, Evolutionary  [E-]Journal,* The Serials Librarian 41, nos. 3-4 (2002):293-321.
 Self-archived at [ http://www.public.iastate.edu/~gerrymck/Eis4.pdf ]
 (accessed 21 April  2008).

and created a blog devoted to "Scholarship 2.0" with profiles of a variety of efforts and publications that have focused on "traditional" Open Peer Review and other forms of "Disruptive Scholarship"

I wish to take a wider view of Open Review by Peers that includes current efforts, notably initiativess in which 'peers' assess
the value and/or importance /signifcance of an article/manuscript before and/or after formal "publication."

I am particularly interested in projects such as
