Peer Review: Evaluating the evaluation

Horizons No. 139

Individual evaluations are decisive for whether an article is published in a scientific journal. In most cases, only two researchers evaluate a submitted paper. Based on the comments of these two people, a single editor of the journal then decides whether to publish or not. There are attempts to circumvent this subjectivity, for example with the help of public peer review or artificial intelligence.
