Peer Review Management - Challenges & Opportunities

What does the future of peer review look like?

The Peer review process, over the years, has become the cornerstone of the scholarly publishing system.

Publishing processes between acceptance and publication have transformed in the last decade through standardization and automation of production as well as preview publication in place of traditional issue-based approaches.

Upstream processes between submission and acceptance have received some attention, but the changes have been incremental rather than radical. New formats and business models have brought forward this question again.
