| الملخص: | Background. Peer review is a crucial system in academic publishing. However, this
system is often undermined by certain malpractices.
Objective. This paper discusses questionable peer review practices (QPRPs) that
undermine the efficacy of peer review systems in academic publishing.
Methods. We highlight several cases of QPRPs and their impact on the integrity of the
publication process and the quality of scientific discourse.
Results. Considering QPRPs and their impact, we propose solutions, including
implementing open peer review, enhancing the role of editors, adopting crowd peer
review, and promoting the Registered Reports system. Additionally, we advocate for
comprehensive peer review training and emphasize the importance of understanding,
rather than penalizing, unintentional QPRPs.
Contribution. Our discussion aims to contribute to ongoing discussions on improving
the peer review process and ensuring the reliability of published research. |
