Reading Peer Review Summary

Reading Peer Review: PLOS ONE and Institutional Change in Academia by Martin Paul Eve (Birkbeck, University of London)

This Element describes for the first time the database of peer review reports at PLOS ONE, the largest scientific journal in the world, to which the authors had unique access. Specifically, this Element presents the background contexts and histories of peer review, the data-handling sensitivities of this type of research, the typical properties of reports in the journal to which the authors had access, a taxonomy of the reports, and their sentiment arcs. This unique work thereby yields a compelling and unprecedented set of insights into the evolving state of peer review in the twenty-first century, at a crucial political moment for the transformation of science. It also, though, presents a study in radicalism and the ways in which PLOS's vision for science can be said to have effected change in the ultra-conservative contemporary university. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Table of Contents

1. Peer Review and its discontents; 2. The radicalism of PLOS; 3. New technologies, old traditions?; 4. PLOS, institutional change, and the future of peer review.
