When you say that eLife is "very rigorous," could you elaborate on what specific aspects of their review process or criteria you find particularly stringent, and how those compare to the review processes of Nature/Cell?
- nextos 2y agoeLife publishes reviews very prominently within articles, and they ask all reviewers to discuss their assessment after they have evaluated the article. I think this favors deep reviews. In Nature or Cell, I have sometimes seen 2-liners sent to authors as a review, or reviews where the reviewer clearly read the article for just 10 minutes before rushing an opinion. I wish eLife doubled down on this and disclosed the reviewer names after e.g. a 2-year embargo. This would make reviews even better IMHO, more skin in the game.
