I agree that in an idealized way, this would be much better. But what do you do about going through all this process and ending up with a bad reviewer?* In those cases, how would you handle re-submitting to a different journal without looking like you're creating those artifacts after-the-fact to suit your outcome? Would the pre-submittals need to be handled by some third party?
* the current process still has a lot of luck in terms of getting assigned referees. Sometimes you just plain get a bad reviewer who just can't be bothered to read the submission carefully and is quick to reject it. I would hate to see a system that only allows for a single shot at publication
- naasking 2y agoThe review happens at the experimental design stage, not the publishing stage. Very little actual work has been done at that stage. After such a review, the journal agrees to publish your results regardless of outcome.
