Journal Peer Review
“…Despite initial skepticism…the editors
were really impressed with the way the
scorecard worked”
“They felt it just goes to show that if you
pay postdocs a relatively small amount,
and they are the right people, they will do
a good and thorough job”
“…would be pleased to participate in the
next phase and be part of the Network”
“… really impressed with the way in which
Rubriq has been set up. .there is a genuine
interest in evolving the review process to
provide authors with meaningful, multi-
faceted reviews of their work”
“…I really like the scorecard. It captures
the many ways in which a paper can be
evaluated…
“ Very supportive of this effort, both as a
recognition of the time and effort a good
review takes, and of the prospect that
reviewers might improve their game, and
thus help raise the quality of research more
globally”
