I'm an MSc student at Sheffield University currently working for my
dissertation. I'd be very interested if anyone has information about
the history of anonymous peer reviewing. When did it start and where?
It doesn't seem to have been in place in the Royal Society in its
early days, otherwise the famous disagreement between Newton and
Hooke would never have occurred.
I'd be very grateful for facts, comments, appropriate articles/books
etc.
Thanks in anticipation,
Andrew Madden
