Abstract

• The peer review system is viewed by many as being flawed and antiquated. • While it’s unlikely that the system will be overhauled completely, some changes seem to be warranted. • Our proposal is to change the incentives to do peer review by making reviews a part of the tenure criteria and valuing reviews as a contribution to the literature. • The proposal would require more transparency than is currently the industry norm to prevent unwanted effects. • We believe these changes would not only increase willingness to review, but also lead to shorter turnaround times and increase the quality of reviews.
