Researchers pitch peer review fixes: dedicated screeners, sanctions for bad submissions, review ratios
m2saxon · x · 2026-09-21
m2saxon proposes supply-side reforms for academic peer review: dedicated screening reviewers empowered to desk-reject after a 20-minute read, sanctions for low-quality submissions, and lifetime review-ratio requirements (reviews received >= reviews given) instead of every author reviewing each time. He acknowledges gatekeeping breeds elitism but argues the principle 'you aren't entitled to a reviewer's time' must eventually apply.
