At Wellcome Open Research, we operate a model of post-publication open peer review. We believe this will encourage constructive feedback from experts focused on helping the authors improve their work.
There are many other models of open peer review out there that work in different ways. In most models, the reviewer is named and it is seen as a way of crediting them for their work. We go a step further by not only naming them, but we also include their full reports as part of published article. Each peer review report also has its own DOI that can be added to ORCiD profiles, which also ensures peer reviewers get credit for their work.
