I think the op is not saying that peer review as a concept is broken, more that the current peer review system is broken.
I think we could start fixing things by incentivizing good peer review. There’s a lot of ways to do this and I’d be interested in a discussion of different schemes. It will by no means be easy but I think that’s what needs to happen.

- sgillen 8y agoThanks for pointing that out. I have started to see those recently. Not sure if it is a recent phenomena or if I’ve only noticed it recently.
