hm, sadly enough I must agree that you seem to be raising important real-life points, Dariusz. But am I getting you correctly that you think that major flaws will only be pointed out in a review if the reviewer can officially stay anonymous?
in your experience, Dariusz, does this mean reviewers feel fine in placing tons of trust in the editors and their helphands who organize the review not to tell authors who was their most brilliant reviewer?
anyway, I think we need a reviewing system where fair and open criticism can flourish.
in my view of the matter, there will be no one-size-fits-all because self-organized communities do have a multicultural tendency to self-organize :-)
one example system that we night also discuss and try out for the Wiki Research Journal is a combination of open and closed peer review: see ACP who, in a highly specialised community, do 8 weeks of post publication public discussion http://www.atmospheric-chemistry-and- physics.net/review/review_process_and_interactive_public_discussion.html
let me suggest we now go to the wiki page http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Research_Ideas and continue our debate on the peer review model in a pro/contra/undecided style there
and keep in mind that we are not talking about a traditional journal here but about "a new research journal about Wikis and about research done by using Wikis" http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Research_Ideas/Volunteers
see you, Claudia koltzenburg@w4w.net

no. Also, academic world may be quite small in some disciplines. If a reviewer knows that s/he may be evaluated by the author some time in the future (be it in a journal review, or possibly also in career promotion reviews, too) s/he will be definitely motivated not to report any major flaws, especially if the reviewed author is a big shot.
Single blind review is a must. In my view, the advantages of double blind review are also important, even if practically the actual anonymity may not always be preserved. In double blind review the bottom line is that it sometimes may and up as a single blind review, but in many cases it does not and then it is more fair.

well, any attempts at pressures or bribes could easily be made known, couldn't they?

I don't thnk opening peer reviewing would be a good idea. Reviewer must keep unknown, or she could suffer preasures (even bribes) from authors.
In
my opinion only the editor must communicate with the reviewers

agree, ... so it is up to you as a reviewer what you do with your "blindness"
:-)
doesn't this point in the direction of - plus - is + ? I mean: why not do open peer reviewing?

Even more, you can easily identify the authors because usually they
include
references to their previous publications to build the new
hypothesis ...

Most of my reviewing for conference and journals was double blind, although the effectiveness of it was always a bit questionable, as
in
many
cases you can, as a reviewer, identify the author from the style
and
argument. This tends to get worse in specialised areas, where the
pool
of
researchers is necessarily small.
