Journals can’t find peer reviewers. Preprints aren’t taken seriously. Garbage papers slip through peer review. Meantime, AI is slowly taking over. This situation is getting worse & worse: 1. Reviewers are overloaded. Fatigue is epidemic. Few scientists have time for it. As a result, manuscript turnaround times become unpredictable and painfully slow. 2. Grant proposals demand massive peer review too. They push the system even further. 3. Review quality is decreasing. Rigor is inconsistent. Technical aspects are poorly assessed. 4. Bias in peer review is real. W all know how manuscripts are rejected due to competition & jealousy. It causes a growing dissatisfaction among scientists. ❗️ PAID PEER REVIEW is a possible solution. The best example I know is this: Prof. Dan Gorelick pays $280 per review. He’s the editor-in-chief of Biology Open. It’s a not-for-profit community-oriented journal. Made by real scientists. Well-known in the field. They showed that time to editorial decisions drops HUGELY: - Unpaid reviews: 38 days. - Paid reviews: 5-6 days. __ I talked to Dan about why he dislikes unpaid peer review, publication fees (esp. at Nature), how AI can review papers, and so on. This is just WILD: piped.video/33nR98C0pEI At last, there’s light at the end of the tunnel. __
