It is widely recognized that the Internet has fundamentally changed the dynamics of publication, and in particular, it is clear that there is no effective way to control the release of any web-based publication. The scientific and lay literature is now accessible to the public with unprecedented ease Recent proposals to start a life sciences online repository of preprints highlights the trend towards "publish first, review later" that seems to be emerging. Does this mean that the peer review process is dead? It certainly suggests that there is a need for a change in how the process works. We discuss currently available technologies to enable the implementation of new, distributed peer review process benefiting multiple user communities.
人们普遍认识到,互联网已从根本上改变了出版的动态,尤其是显然没有有效的方法来控制任何基于网络的出版物的发布。科学文献和大众文献现在以前所未有的便捷程度向公众开放。最近关于启动生命科学预印本在线知识库的提议凸显了似乎正在出现的“先发表,后评审”趋势。这是否意味着同行评审过程已不复存在?这当然表明该过程的运作方式需要改变。我们讨论当前可用的技术,以实现新的、分布式的同行评审过程,使多个用户群体受益。
