***APOLOGIES FOR CROSS-POSTING***

What do researchers really think about the process of peer review, its
timeframes and the realities of submission? How is the daily
experience matching to expectations across disciplines? Do researchers
still continue to value peer review, and how comfortable (or not) are
they with different peer review models? What is their experience of
ethical issues during review, such as gender, regional or seniority
bias?

Peer review in 2015: a global view
(authorservices.taylorandfrancis.com/peer-review-in-2015) seeks to
answer all this and more, gathering views from those who author
research articles, those who review them, and the journal editors who
oversee the process. Published by Taylor & Francis Group and now
available to read online, it offers a truly 360° perspective on the
system which is commonly agreed to be an essential part of research
publication, and includes findings from a global online survey as well
as focus groups held in China, South Africa and the UK.

With responses from over 7,400 researchers globally, and from across
the sciences, humanities, social sciences, and medicine, this new
white paper is one of the largest research studies into peer review in
recent years. It fully explores what current perceptions are on the
value of peer review and the issues surrounding it.
