We are Reciprocal Reviews, a volunteer community of researchers and academics interested more sustainable, reciprocal, equitable academic peer review. We're just building out this platform and community, so for now, check out the reciprocal reviews proposal that Amy Ko wrote for the ACM Transactions on Computing Education journal. It describes the vision and rationale for the project. Eventually, we'll migrate those details here.
Currently, there are five contributors to this effort:
- Amy Ko (University of Washington), project management, design, and front end
- Jérémie Lumbroso (University of Pennsylvania), design, back end and ops
- Andrew Petersen (University of Toronto), policy
- Dennis Bouvier (Air Force Academy), design, data manangement
- Francesco Maiorana (University of Catania), policy, localization
You're welcome to join our Discord to talk more about this effort.
Write Amy to learn more.
There are many other efforts to improve peer review. The list below is not complete, its just a growing list of efforts that we've spent some time understanding. Feel free to suggest others.
- Peer Community In is a community that conducts registered report peer reviews via pre-prints, prior to publication.
- Open Review is a community effort amplifying open science efforts, particularly open review, discussion, and publishing.
- Review Quality Collector (RCQ) offers reviewers receipts for their work, which can be used to assess quality, document contributions for promotion purposes.
