Peer Review at Capacity: An editor's view
Abstract
From the editor's desk, the pressure on peer review is no longer an abstract concern. It appears in the growing number of invitations needed to secure an appropriate report, the repeated reliance on a small group of dependable colleagues, and the duplication of work when manuscripts move between journals. The problem is not simply that science has too few potential reviewers. It is that reviewing labor is unevenly distributed, weakly recognized, and organized through a publication architecture built for a smaller system.
