Thanks, Dario, Tilman! 

I was wondering whether it would be helpful to add reviewer names/usernames to individual signpost reviews. I was struck while reading a review of a paper on Signpost recently that I felt like the reviewer was inserting some very opinionated statements about the article rather than the regular summaries. While I don't think that this is a problem necessarily (although I wish that they were a bit more informed about the topic and social science research in general), I do think it can be problematic to have these comments unattributed. Would be interested to hear what others think...

Best,
Heather.

Hi Max,

yes, we're co-publishing with the Signpost, so the ultimate deadline
is the Signpost's actual publication time. Its formal publication date
is this Wednesday (the 26th) UTC, although actual publication might
take place several hours or even a few days later. Thanks for signing
up to review the "Editor's Biases" paper, I'm looking forward to
reading your summary!
