A year ago, I gave a presentation on the Ph.D. course “Publish or Perish: Preparing, writing and reviewing business research” arranged by my colleague Jan Arlbjørn, University of Southern Denmark
The title of the presentation was:
Publish or perish A process of…seeking provocations, getting angry, frustrated, confused, troubled…writing a conference paper as therapy…and publish to save the world, change current practice, and make your boss happy.
This session presented and discussed the review process of one the papers Jan Arlbjørn and I wrote together few years ago. Included into this were the discussions we had with editors and reviewers (yes, in plural!). I was told that the students found this useful, and I admittedly found it quite interesting to reflect upon these comments.
So why not discuss the peer-review of journal articles in the open space?
Scholars in economics are bringing this developent further by experimenting with a “market-driven” research evaluation process. This new e-journal in economics suggests a change to the conventional peer review process:
“The peer review process is substantially supplemented by a “public” peer review process in which the community of active researchers from all over the world has a hand in the evaluation process.”
See further discussion at Organizations & Markets, the blog which brougth this issue to our attention.

I just came across an interesting open-source platform: PLoS, the “public library of science”. It’s aim is to make the world’s scientific and medical literature a freely available public resource. Hordes of academics have subscribed to the movement, it even has an own group on Facebook… Check it out: http://www.plos.org/
