Most journals that I know require the actual reviewer to be named. Usually it's phrased as "someone who assisted in writing the review." Someone could lie I guess but I'm not sure what they'd get out of that and at that point it would be outright fraud.
- asdff 2y agoIts not named for the public, but the editor specifically looks for certain reviewers who are qualified to comment on the work at hand. They don't just grab random people they look for specific people. And if they are getting a bait and switch out of it instead, well, that's not really honest to the editors efforts trying to get a quality peer review for their journal.
