2014 CrossRef Annual Meeting Peer Review Panel: Do it once, do it well – questioning submission and peer review traditions
1) The document discusses problems with the traditional peer review system used by most scientific journals. 2) It proposes an alternative called "Peerage of Science" which aims to give authors and reviewers more ownership over the review process. 3) Key aspects of Peerage of Science include enforcing time limits on reviews, allowing concurrent submissions to multiple journals, peer review of the peer reviews, and allowing open engagement between authors and reviewers.
