Anonymity and corporate FOSS
Q: But why is there such hectic push to acquire either personal identities (through phone verification or electronic payment) or a corporate/legal-identity before you are able to publish? In the past, you could participate in movement activities and hand leaflets out, or newspapers, or just sheets of paper with an essay, nobody asked your id, and unless state agencies recorded your picture and identified you, you remained anonymous within a crowd. Except for military regimes most “democratic constitutions” protected the right to free speech.

Guest Post — Peer Review Week 2023 to Focus on Peer Review and the Future of Publishing
It’s an unsettling time in what has been, for more than 350 years, a remarkably stable undertaking, with changes taking place in how research is conducted, the rise of Open Access (OA) and open science, the evolution of big data, Natural Language Processing (NLP), and Artificial Intelligence (AI), and more. Even the transition from analog to digital publishing represented more of a change of venue than a fundamental shift in the business models, norms, or values that have always sustained and guided scholarly publishing.
As we consider how to meet the challenges and take advantage of the opportunities of this moment in our industry, it makes sense also to reconsider how we manage peer review selection, how we gather expert feedback, and how we honor and reward reviewers. How can we make peer review easier and more fulfilling for reviewers, more efficient and effective for editors and publishers, and more trustworthy for everyone? How can we distribute the rewards and responsibilities of peer review more equitably?
It is imperative for stakeholders across the whole scholarly ecosystem to work together proactively to ensure that peer review keeps up with the evolving publishing landscape and remains our most powerful tool for evaluating the rigor, credibility, and interest of scholarly research.
