Scientific publishing is undergoing significant transformation with the rise of preprint servers, new publishing models, and AI-assisted tools. These changes, combined with increasing submission volumes across disciplines, raise important questions about the sustainability and effectiveness of traditional peer review practices.
The scientific community continues to debate various modifications to peer review, from open peer review to post-publication evaluation models. Understanding how researchers view these potential changes and their experiences with current practices will be valuable in shaping future developments in scientific publishing.
This poll builds on insights from our previous surveys on reviewer participation and author experiences to address the broader question of system sustainability.
