Abstract
The peer review process is a central part of medicine and has become a touchstone of modern evaluation of scientific quality. Although generally considered essential to academic quality, peer review has been increasingly criticised as ineffective, slow, and misunderstood. A frequent claim is that the process is insufficiently objective and that it is inconsistent in its capacity to assess manuscript quality.
