Open peer review finds more takers

When Kevin Sinclair reported that 13 cloned sheep his lab had studied lived long and healthy lives1, he wanted to be as transparent as possible about what has been a controversial research area.

Sinclair had invited journalists to see the sheep while the experiment was in progress at the University of Nottingham’s School of Biosciences in Loughborough, UK. And when his paper was published, in July 2016, he agreed that its peer-review reports should also be made public.
