Dmitry Kochetkov works at the intersection of research assessment, scholarly communication, and science policy. He is Associate Professor at RUDN University, Leading Research Fellow at the Institute for the Study of Science of the Russian Academy of Sciences, and a PhD candidate at the Centre for Science and Technology Studies of Leiden University. His work addresses research assessment frameworks, university rankings, and emerging practices in scholarly publishing, with particular attention to transparency, equity, and accountability in the scholarly ecosystem.
Whether peer review needs revolution or evolution may be the wrong question. The more pressing one is whether the academic community is prepared to let scientific ideas be published, contested, and refined in public, rather than behind closed doors.
