peer review challenges
Peer Review Challenges refer to the difficulties faced in the academic peer review process, impacting research integrity, efficiency, and fairness. Key issues include reviewer bias, delays due to reviewer shortages, lack of transparency, and fraudulent practices such as manipulated reviews or plagiarism. The increasing volume of submissions and the reproducibility crisis further complicate the process. Addressing these challenges through open peer review models, AI-assisted screening, and improved editorial workflows can enhance research quality and publication efficiency. Understanding and mitigating these issues is crucial for researchers, academicians, and journal editors to uphold the credibility of scholarly publishing.
