The Future of Peer Review
Two cross-sectoral expert roundtables – co-organised by ALLEA, GYA, and STM – discussed the future of peer review in an open, digital world and will explore which models can best serve and reward the research community in both an enhanced and sustainable way.
While there is universal agreement that peer review is an essential element of the communication and documentation processes that ensure the quality and trustworthiness of modern research and scholarship, the rapid development of new digital modes of publication, and the wider range of research outputs envisaged in modern concepts of Open Science, pose challenges for the traditional models of peer review.
