Does peer review continue to be the best standard for ascertaining whether a manuscript is suitable for publication?
I am sure that all of us have encountered peer reviewers who are neither 'peers' in the true spirit of the word, or even good reviewers based on the quality of their reviews. However, most (?almost all) journal editors are somewhat reluctant to look past a reviewers recommendation and exercise their editorial prerogative. As a result, good research suffers! So what can be done? I don't have an answer but am looking for insightful comments/options. Thanks.

How might AI-assisted peer review tools reshape scientific publishing, and what safeguards should be implemented to maintain review quality while addressing the increasing volume of submissions?
The peer-reviewing process is being faced with ever-growing challenges as submission rates are still rising exponentially in all areas. Journal editors are faced with the challenge of getting capable reviewers who are ready to volunteer their time, with a result being delays in reviewing, reviewer exhaustion, and worse, compromised quality. Meanwhile, AI technologies are accelerating their ability to review scientific manuscripts for methodology, statistical fitting, plagiarism screenings,...

For a change in the peer-reveiwing as an urgent need?
With an increasing number of Journal and other publication, the review by peer started to be difficult and very often nonqualified reviewers are solicited. Very often now the Journal send us a list that ressemble the directory a. This is a problem since many of the persons listed here do not have even a record over 10 and there are supposed to review works they don't know, and they are not qualified. I would like to start a huge discussion that can be sent to the main Journal to change the...

How should irrelevant comment(s) from a peer reviewer be handled?
Some times an irrelevant comments is made on a peer review report based on which a paper is rejected and that makes the author very discouraging. Like "Proper discussion is not made why apple is red" while the paper is on lily flower. The answer could be any of the same a) The editorial board should take care of such comments and provide the full support to evaluate the paper a s per merit rather than rejection. b) The paper be rejected and resubmitted to the same or other Journal citing the...

What threshold of urinary cadmium (Cd-U) is currently considered indicative of early renal tubular dysfunction in exposed adult populations?
I am conducting a study on chronic environmental cadmium exposure and its nephrotoxic effects, particularly focusing on early biomarkers of renal tubular damage. Several sources suggest 2 µg/g creatinine as a reference point, but variability exists depending on population, sex, and co-exposure. Could experts clarify which threshold (e.g. 1 µg/g, 2 µg/g, or 5 µg/g creatinine) is most reliable or currently used in risk assessments and clinical practice?

How can advances in electrochemical CO₂ conversion improve scalability of carbon-to-fuel technologies while minimizing energy demand and byproduct formation?
As a specialist in CO₂ reduction, my work focuses on advancing pathways that move beyond capture and storage toward scalable, value-added solutions. Current approaches including mineralization, electrochemical conversion, and bio-catalytic processes show potential but face challenges of efficiency, energy demand, and long-term stability. A critical next step is identifying how chemical, mineral, or catalytic enhancements can accelerate these processes while maintaining sustainability and...
Pings FAQ
What is a Ping?
A Ping is a single science-based question. The question comes from a fellow SciPinion Expert who is seeking input from the expert community. All participation in this service (i.e. asking or answering questions) is voluntary and anonymous if you prefer.
Can I post a Ping?
Yes, all SciPinion Experts are able to ask questions for the expert community to answer, provided you have Ping Credits. All Experts start with 3 Ping Credits (i.e., can ask 3 questions), and have the opportunity to earn more (e.g., by answering Pings from other experts, applying to panel opportunities).
Can I sponsor a Paid Ping?
Yes, please contact SciPinion if you would like to sponsor a Paid Ping.
What do I get for answering a Ping?
By answering a question from a fellow SciPinion Expert you earn 1 Ping Credit, which allows you to sponsor your own Ping (e.g., for every question you answer, you can ask your own question)
You also receive the satisfaction of helping your fellow experts and supporting the scientific community.
