| Oct 31, 2013 at 15:12 | comment | added | user7112 | @F'x maybe I was too extreme. Perhaps adding a reviewer would "fix the issue". This would still need to be clarified with the editor. However, would the submission be considered as a new submission or as one under "minor revision"? I am not sure how this would work. Please keep us informed, I am curious! By asking to inform the reviewer after acceptance would lower questions on conflicts of interest. To be fair, I would not mind if I was the editor. Reviewers can improve a paper significantly.Every time I am in an open-peer reviewed venue, I thank reviewers by name and I am happy about that. | |

| Oct 31, 2013 at 14:29 | comment | added | user7112 | Basically, the reviewer did a super-great job as a reviewer. Offering the reviewer authorship at this point would require you to retract the submission, include the (at this point) no more anonymous reviewer as author, and submit to another venue, IMHO. I would privately contact the editor and request him/her if this would be feasible AFTER ACCEPTANCE (if any). | |
| Oct 31, 2013 at 14:29 | comment | added | Nate Eldredge | I don't know the answer, but one comment is if the reviewer does become a coauthor, it will probably be necessary for the paper to be reviewed again by a new reviewer. | |

In my opinion, thank the referee is enough. There is one issue with asking the editor at this stage: He may think that you are trying to earn favor from the referee. | |
