The highlight of peer review research in 2023 was the biggest trial yet of naming authors (or not) in peer review.

The authors concluded that their trial provides strong evidence "double-blind review" substantially reduces prestige bias.

I don't have as much confidence in that result though. In my new @PLOS post, I explain why - and why, even with this big trial, we're still a long way from clarity....
