Are There Alternatives to the Traditional Review Process?
In response to the lengthy traditional review process, alternative approaches have been explored:
Preprints: Researchers can share their findings as preprints to disseminate information quickly while awaiting formal review. Open Peer Review: This model involves transparent peer review processes where reviews and author responses are publicly accessible. Registered Reports: Some journals offer registered reports, which review the study design before data collection, potentially speeding up later stages.
