The peer review system is breaking down. Hereβs how we can fix it
Peer review is so integral to the scholarly system that research would grind to a halt without it.
"We have built a publishing system dependent entirely on voluntary labour, especially for local and independent journals. Without significant change β without formal recognition, support, and genuine incentives β the shortage of reviewers will deepen."
All true, but I can't really see a fix here.
