@tschoppi exactly. I was surprised when I saw that. It looks that some researchers does not understand something or what it is more likely, that I do not understand something.More

By convention both donor (D) and acceptor (A) potentials are listed as reduction potentials. For a nice description, see Turro's explanation of the Rehm-Weller equation in his photochemical treatise "Modern Molecular Photochemistry of Organic Molecules"
To clarify, the equation that is being referenced is not actually the Rehm-Weller equation but is the "Gibbs free energy of photoinduced electron transfer".
The Gibbs energy of photoinduced electron transfer is part of the Rehm-Weller equation. The Rehm-Weller equation is the correlation between second order rate constants and Gibbs energy of photoinduced electron transfer.

Both expressions are identical. It's just juggling of the signs, since
$$E^{\mathrm{red}}(D^{\cdot+}/D) = - E^{\mathrm{ox}}(D/D^{\cdot+})$$
Relevant primary references would be:
Rehm, D.; Weller, A. H. Isr. J. Chem. 1970, 8, 259-271.
Rehm, D.; Weller, A. H. Ber. Bunsen-Ges. Phys. Chem. 1969, 73, 834-839.
A normative glossary of terms in photochemistry is available from the IUPAC.
