Abstract
Although peer review is the core distinguishing feature of the modern scholarly communication, the feature has not worked today because there are too many researchers and articles for the capacity of the system. As a result, new issues such as absence of reviewers, false peer review and fake reviewer are arising in addition to traditional issues such as reviewer misconduct and bias. To cope with these new and traditional issues, some publishers and researchers have started new approaches including Publons, portable peer review, open peer review and Peer Review Evaluation. However, no one knows whether we can prolong the life of peer review system with the new approaches.
