Leveraging

Technology to

Innovate the Peer

Review Process

Peer review of research papers has today
become one of the cornerstones of
knowledge dissemination.

The process is used to assess and enhance
the quality, originality, validity, and outcome
of submitted articles and the research that
underpins them. Despite the fact that peer
review is often regarded as the gold standard
for research certification, there is growing
evidence that the goal of peer review is not
matched by its method or practice.

The world of scholarly publishing has
witnessed an upsurge in innovation and
experimentation in peer review over the past
decade. The advent of web technologies
has driven this, and the fact that there is
considerable opportunity for improving the
peer review process is becoming increasingly
evident.
