Centralized peer review such as a @psych.peercommunityin.org would go a long way toward avoiding review duplication

Carl T. Bergstrom @carlbergstrom.com · Jul 16

7. We show that this setup leads to a pernicious positive feedback loop. When submissions increase, more peer reviewers are required. Either current reviewers have to spread their effort thinner, or less qualified reviewers must be recruited. Either way, review accuracy drops.

Flow diagram. At the center is the key cycle: Authors reduce self-screening --> Reviewer pool becomes depleted --> Accuracy of review declines --> [back to] Authors reduce self-screening.

Outside arrows lead to this central cycle.

Greater emphasis on elite journals --> authors reduce self-screening
More journals create more opportunities for fresh review --> reviewer pool becomes depleted
Common pool dilemma reduces desk rejection rates --> reviewer pool becomes depleted.

There is an additional cycle:

Accuracy of review declines --> Authors learn less from reviews --> Authors reduce self-screening

The recommendation of the preprint gets its own DOI, and the preprint itself must have a permanent identifier at submission, so they both will have permanent identifiers at recommendation, although not the same one :)
