Mar 8, 2012 at 18:05 comment added Lars Kotthoff @CharlesMorisset, a quick search brought up Maney and PLoS as two publishers who say that. Note that neither refers to the reviews themselves explicitly, but I would certainly assume that they mean them as well. I would also assume that the confidentiality extends to everybody involved in the process.

Mar 8, 2012 at 8:53 comment added user102 But when they say that reviews should be treated confidentially, do they mean that authors should treat the reviews they received confidentially, or reviewers should? I know that some people publish the reviews they receive for papers as some kind of public token of the quality of the conference (I once found the website of a person explaining why he was doing it, but I can't remember it :(), so I can understand the warning for the authors, but does it hold for the reviewers too? Do you some examples of the conf/journals, so that we could check what they say exactly?
