Plenary Panel: Innovating Peer Review

Moderated by John Sack, Founding Director, Highwire

Peer Review is at the heart of value creation in scholarly publishing. The past decades have seen experiments with open peer review, post- and pre-publication peer review, demands for more transparency in case of blind, double blind and triple blind peer review, and quests for a reward system for reviewers who take all this heavy work on their shoulders. What are the real innovations in peer review that our sector needs? How to shape a better peer review process?
