A new article in #IHE119 by Hugo Horta and Jisun Jung tackles challenges in academic peer review including: 🔹Overburdened editors and reviewers 🔹Lengthy review periods 🔹Bias concerns 🔹Lack of reviewer recognition Their proposed solutions? 🔹Expand the reviewer pool (more diversity!) 🔹Provide meaningful incentives 🔹Enhance transparency As our knowledge production accelerates, it's crucial we adapt our quality control mechanisms.

On staying hopeful. In a recent exchange, I received the "clapback" that a person felt that senior editors and reviewers did not read their work. They argued they had read many papers with basic errors and that there was no way that an editor would ever read the paper. The person then did a "mic drop" and exited the conversation. I've thought about that exchange a lot. I thought about that exchange bc I'm often poking fun at reviewers, calling for positive change in the review system, and demanding better governance of journals and publishers. BUT. Where my counterpart was motivated to start our exchange out of despair, my motivation to call for change comes from optimism. My experience has been that on average ... ... senior editors care about making the right decisions. ... reviewers want to help accept good papers. ... authors don't cut corners when publishing. Most people involved in peer review are honest, act with integrity, and want to help improve their understanding of their topic. So when you get discouraged, and I have to do this with some frequency, that people involved in peer review want you to succeed! So don't get up hope, keep working, keep improving, and keep trying - and with continued effort - good things will happen! #acadmiclife #academiccareers #peerreview
