====== Peer review challenges ======

Challenges of the [[peer review]] process are: 

1. The increasing need for [[reviewer]]s due to an increasing number of peer-review requests, because promotions are obtained based on the number of publications or “publish or perish” syndrome and due to various online and hard copy publishers
((Shen C, Björk BC: ‘Predatory’ open access: a longitudinal
study of article volumes and market characteristics. BMC
Med 13:230, 2015)).

2. Increasing demands from the reviewers primary jobs, related to clinical demands, financial constraints, or more time spent on their research program.

3. Heterogeneous [[quality]] of reviews and different methods used to analyze the manuscript, sometimes because of insufficient training

PLOS Comput Biol 2:e110, 2006))

an effective peer-review process. Eur J Orthop Surg Traumatol
