My feeling is that it was a mistake of the Editor…however, when this happens, the author should inform the Editor about this “conflict of interest”.

In this particular paper, published in JGRA in 2005, the same individual was named as a co-author and as a reviewer. I might have taken this to be a typographical error, except that I personally have been offered the chance to review a paper that I co-authored at least once, and I know of at least one other scientist who has had the same offer. Is this a new AGU policy, or an attempt to make reviews less anonymous? I recently encountered the antithesis of an anonymous review in JGR, and it made me wonder about AGU policy is in this area.

This seems not to be the policy with JGR. Furthermore, reviewers who permit their name to be known should be mentioned in the acknowledgement if the authors finds that the review has helped in improving the manuscript - and not destroying it !
