24 : The future of peer review RICHARD
نویسنده
چکیده
Currently peer review is thought to be slow, expensive, profligate of academic time, highly subjective, prone to bias, easily abused, poor at detecting gross defects, and almost useless for detecting fraud. One cannot predict the future but at present there do not seem to be serious alternatives to peer review. Peer review has been structurally static since the nineteenth century mainly through lack of competition. However, advances such as electronic publishing and continuous quality improvement may help to improve the quality of peer review and evolve new systems.
