| Pros | Cons | |
|---|---|---|
| Post-publication review allows the opportunity to gather a wider range of perspectives on your paper | Not every paper published in this way is always guaranteed to receive reviews | |
| As review doesn’t end when your paper is published, your peers can add comments reflecting new developments in the future | If your article is tackling a controversial topic, it may attract a large number of comments which won’t always be moderated | |
| For journals that use only post-publication review, the articles can be published very quickly | There are some concerns about the risks of allowing a paper to be published without any prior review, especially in areas such as medicine | |
