Anyone who has done peer review know of the pitfalls to the process, the pivotal role of quality editors, the lack of recognition or support that is generally available. And the academe seems ready to listen and to address some of the issues. Even governmental units are taking note - as are private, commercial entities.
I was asked to take a look at the current state of peer review options and initiatives for Against the Grain and the result was a two-part feature. Are we facing a dytopic future? Will the central responsibility and role of the editor be reinforced? Will private sector initiatives prevail? All we can do is stay tuned....and you might want to take a look at my articles in the meantime.
