TY - JOUR AU - Horbach, Serge P. J. M. AU - Halffman, Willem PY - 2020 DA - 2020/08/05 TI - Innovating editorial practices: academic publishers at work JO - Research Integrity and Peer Review SP - 11 VL - 5 IS - 1 AB - Triggered by a series of controversies and diversifying expectations of editorial practices, several innovative peer review procedures and supporting technologies have been proposed. However, adoption of these new initiatives seems slow. This raises questions about the wider conditions for peer review change and about the considerations that inform decisions to innovate. We set out to study the structure of commercial publishers’ editorial process, to reveal how the benefits of peer review innovations are understood, and to describe the considerations that inform the implementation of innovations.
