Quality of peer review is a broad theme. It includes aspects such as the peer review process, innovations in peer review, reviewer training, and recognition. We reached out to a bunch of people to know what they thought about peer review. Here are some of the responses we\u00a0\u00a0received:<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:.0001pt; margin:0in 0in 10pt\"><span style=\"color:null;\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:normal\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><b><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Segoe UI&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;\">Elisabeth Bik \u2013 Science integrity consultant, founder of Microbiome Digest blog<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:.0001pt; margin:0in 0in 10pt\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:normal\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Segoe UI&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;\">Quality peer review not only means to check if the manuscript is scientifically correct and well-written, or if the appropriate papers are cited, but also to look for signs of manipulation, and if results are &#8220;too good to be true&#8221;, and ethically acquired. For example, has human research data been collected under institutionally approved guidelines? If the authors do not work at a university but at a small private research institute, how did they get such approval? Peer reviewers could also do a quick gut check for figure manipulation or text\/data duplications. But, like I said above, software tools have been or are being developed to automatically screen manuscripts for textual similarities, data irregularities, and image manipulation. Such tools would be best applied by the journal editors or publisher staff, e.g., to screen manuscripts after they have been accepted for publication.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:.0001pt; margin:0in 0in 10pt\"><span style=\"color:null;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:normal\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Segoe UI&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;\">Dr. Jeremy Horne, S<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>cience Advisor and Curriculum Coordinator at the Inventors Assistance League<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:.0001pt; margin:0in 0in 10pt\"><span lang=\"EN-IN\" style=\"font-size:12.0pt\" xml:lang=\"EN-IN\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;\">Peer review is the collective search for truth.

The quality of peer review depends on the quality of the reviewer. Ideally they should be experts in the field with a knowledge of statistics and with good language skills so they can suggest relevant improvements to the paper. To provide good quality reviews, peer reviewers should also be able to identify the merit in manuscripts even if they are not written exceptionally well.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:.0001pt; margin:0in 0in 10pt\"><span style=\"color:null;\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:normal\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><b><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Segoe UI&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;\">Bahar Mehmani \u2013 Reviewer Experience Lead,\u00a0Elsevier<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:.0001pt; margin:0in 0in 10pt\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:normal\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Segoe UI&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;\">\u201cQuality in peer review\u201d is a holistic term. It spans from the quality of the editorial process to the quality of peer review report and ultimately to the quality of the published research output. We can make peer review better by engaging with the community, analyzing the performance of the process, learning from other communities and experimenting. Peer review is headed towards a more inclusive, credible, trustable and user-friendlier future.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:.0001pt; margin:0in 0in 10pt\"><span style=\"color:null;\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:normal\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><b><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Segoe UI&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;\">Abosede Akande \u2013 Editage Insights community member<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:.0001pt; margin:0in 0in 10pt\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:normal\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Segoe UI&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;\">Quality in terms of peer review involves with the process of thoroughly scrutinizing scholar write-ups in order to ensure that papers of good standard are published. To improve quality in peer review, reviewers must be given papers that are related to their field.\u00a0I as a researcher must write my paper up to the journal&#8217;s standards before sending it for publication. There must be general criteria for reviewing.
