Measured Innovation in Peer Review
Conversations about the future of academic publishing often revolve
around the pros and cons of open peer review. Would a
new mechanism for vetting research that relies on the wisdom of crowds, rather
than a select few editors and reviewers, lead to a scholarly renaissance or to
chaos?
Now several publishers are trying to find a
balance. Drawing from both the traditional peer review and open-access models,
PeerJ and Rubriq are looking to use the architecture of the Web to build
community-oriented platforms that are accessible and empowering, yet stable and
habitable — walled gardens, but with windows that open from the outside.
