Re: https://github.com/transpose-publishing/policies-database/edit/master/policies/policies/romeo_22.yml

We will need to split this policy; there are 3 types of peer review at BMC:

Single-blind: the reviewers know the names of the authors, but the authors do not know who reviewed their manuscript unless the reviewer chooses to sign their report. Double-blind: the reviewers do not know the names of the authors, and the authors do not know who reviewed their manuscript. Open peer: authors know who the reviewers are, and the reviewers know who the authors are. If the manuscript is accepted, the named reviewer reports are published alongside the article."

Journals that practice open peer review are marked here: https://www.biomedcentral.com/journals Biology Direct is not listed among them but apparently has mandatory open reviews and identities: https://biologydirect.biomedcentral.com/about/how-it-works
