The peer review and journal system have shortcomings, and both computers and the Internet have made complementary or alternative systems attractive. In this article, I recommend that we implement a new platform for open communication of psychological science on a dedicated website to complement the current review and journal system, with reader reviews of the articles and with all behavioral scientists being eligible to publish and review articles. The judged merit of articles would be based on the citations and the ratings of the work by the whole scientific community. This online journal will be quicker, more democratic, and more informative than the current system. Although the details of the system should be debated and formulated by a committee of scientists, adding this online journal to the existing publications of a society such as the Association for Psychological Science has few risks and many possible gains. An online journal deserves to be tried and assessed.
同行评审和期刊系统存在缺陷，而计算机和互联网使补充或替代系统变得具有吸引力。在本文中，我建议我们在一个专用网站上实施一个新的开放心理科学交流平台，以补充当前的评审和期刊系统，读者可以对文章进行评论，所有行为科学家都有资格发表和评论文章。文章的评判标准将基于整个科学界对其引用和评价。与当前系统相比，这种在线期刊将更快、更民主、更具信息量。虽然该系统的细节应由一个科学家委员会进行辩论和制定，但将这种在线期刊添加到现有的出版机构，如心理科学协会，风险很小，但可能收获很多。在线期刊值得一试和评估。
