Scientific
publishing needs to change
While our existing scientific publication system
has limited value in this world, the scholarly peer review process is more
important than ever.
For

of a scientific journal today should not be to publish research – there is
no dearth of specialty
platforms to publish scientific findings. Instead, what if we were to focus
on the function of peer review to curate published discoveries? Experts, namely
scientific specialists, are best equipped to comment on the inherent value of
new discoveries in their field, provide historical and political context, and
direct collection and publication of new information as it is being produced.
