The paper itself went through 3 rounds of open peer review on MetaROR, with reviews published alongside the article. This transparent process exemplifies the innovations it examines!

New paper out: "Peer Review at the Crossroads"
I analyzed 4 peer review models from traditional gatekeeping to Publish-Review-Curate. Key finding: no single model is ideal, but PRC shows promise for transparency & accessibility.

저자는 논문 채택의 결정 기준 중 하나가 인간의 개입(노력) 정도였을 가능성이 있다고 추정합니다. 만약 해당 기준이 사라지면, 연구자들은 인간 노력보다 아이디어의 흥미로움에 거의 전적으로 집중하게 될 것이라고 전망합니다. 이는 AI 보조 연구가 학술 평가 기준을 바꿀 수 있음을 시사합니다.
@Bayesprof @SebastienBubeck @boazbaraktcs So far, my guess is that one of the decision criteria for accepting a paper was the amount of human effort (even if implicit). If that’s gone, then people will focus almost only on how interesting an idea is.
While the strain on academic #publishing is real, here is a monthly reminder to always respond to invitations for #PeerReview! Ignoring these messages just exacerbates the problem for everyone involved - let's not do that 💪 🔭 🧪
If a journal asks me to do a peer-review for them, which I accept, then it makes a decision before the review deadline, without waiting for my review, and without letting me know that I do not need to do the review.. while I use my spare time to complete the peer-review by the deadline... then I am not going to do any more peer-review for that journal 🤷
(#PLoSOne in this case 🫤)
