"Scientific publishing relies on peer review as the mechanism that maintains
trust in what we publish. When we read a journal article, we assume experts
have rigorously scrutinised it before publication. This crucial system is
currently under severe strain.
We conducted a comprehensive study of Australian academic journals and their
editors – surveying 139 editors and interviewing 27. The picture is concerning.
Finding qualified peer reviewers has become one of the most significant
challenges editors face. When peer review cannot be secured adequately, both
the long-term viability of journals and research integrity suffer. The
voluntary system underpinning academic trust is breaking down."
