In July 2023, version 3.0 of Standard Terminology for Peer Review was published by the National Information Standards Organization. The terminology approaches four aspects of the peer review process: identity transparency, reviewer interacts with, review information published, and post-publication commenting. In this article, I comment on some gaps in the categories of identity transparency, reviewer interacts with, and reviewer information. To demonstrate these gaps, I will use some examples of open peer review models with public participation in journals from different disciplines. Furthermore, I would like to comment on how the information about identity transparency is presented and propose the inclusion of a category for the type of reviewers who may evaluate a paper. In short, version 3.0 of the NISO Peer Review Terminology is a great initiative to support journals and peer review, but not apply to all review models and it is intended.
