abstract = {Peer review of research articles is a core part of our
scholarly communication system. In spite of its importance,
the status and purpose of peer review is often contested.
What is its role in our modern digital research and
communications infrastructure? Does it perform to the high
standards with which it is generally regarded? Studies of
peer review have shown that it is prone to bias and abuse in
numerous dimensions, frequently unreliable, and can fail to
detect even fraudulent research. With the advent of web
technologies, we are now witnessing a phase of innovation
and experimentation in our approaches to peer review. These
developments prompted us to examine emerging models of peer
review from a range of disciplines and venues, and to ask
how they might address some of the issues with our current
systems of peer review. We examine the functionality of a
range of social Web platforms, and compare these with the
traits underlying a viable peer review system: quality
control, quantified performance metrics as engagement
incentives, and certification and reputation. Ideally, any
new systems will demonstrate that they out-perform and
reduce the biases of existing models as much as possible. We
conclude that there is considerable scope for new peer
review initiatives to be developed, each with their own
potential issues and advantages. We also propose a novel
hybrid platform model that could, at least partially,
resolve many of the socio-technical issues associated with
peer review, and potentially disrupt the entire scholarly
communication system. Success for any such development
relies on reaching a critical threshold of research
community engagement with both the process and the platform,
and therefore cannot be achieved without a significant
change of incentives in research environments.},
