The purpose of the study is to outline changes in information management and decentralise library services according to the paradigms of modern media organisation. The methodology was to review best practice in newsroom library. The "embedded" structure resulted in an increase in length and complexity of researchers' inquiries and in librarians playing a more active role in the editorial process. Hauser M, Fehr E. An incentive solution to the peer review problem. PLoS Biology 2007;5(4):e107. (doi: 10.1371/journal.pbio.0050107) Despite internet facilities, peer review generally continues to be a long process. These authors propose a system of incentives and punishments for reviewers according to time of response to the editorial deadlines. Time for review will be maintained in the referees database and the future articles submitted by reviewers will be processed immediately or with delay according to the circumstance. All positive and negative aspects of the suggested procedure are discussed. [Editors' Note: The problems with the peer review process are endlessly discussed within the scientific community. This solution to delayed reviews seems innovative, if not necessarily practical. Editors of PLoS Biology encourage comments online through the Reader Response facility, rather than via formal submission.] © Copyright 2008 by European Association of Science Editors Top of Page |
