Just one question about that - what you are describing here - is that:
.) an unsolvable problem inherent to all peer reviews?
.) a problem that comes from specific practices, and could be solved by doing peer reviews differently?
I'm just a layman - but if reviews are not done by peers (= experts working in the same field)... who else could properly review a paper?
- jraph 4y agoYour parent is not arguing against peer reviews, but against blind and double blind reviews. They are actually proposing that peer reviews are credited: > Instead, authored and credited reviews might lead to more responsible reviews, or reviewers respectfully declining when they might not know the topic. And yes, I do think reviewers should be credited. Because it's work, for one, that needed to be done so the paper could be published, and because it would probably indeed incentivize reviewers to do the work correctly. However, it could incentivize them to reject more papers, in fear of accepting a bad paper and be publicly advertised as a reviewer who reviewed and accepted it.
