Such inefficiencies caused by reverse delegation extend to institutional resources, disrupting publishing workflows and wasting valuable time and energy that could be redirected toward innovation and growth. To solve this, academia needs […]

Peer reviewers remain the only entity involved in publishing workflow who receive zero financial incentives for their services, in almost all journals. Monetizing the journal-reviewer relationship has been widely […]

Jason Roberts, Co-founder Origin Editorial notes that “Editorial offices often face disruptions to their regular workflow and often work extra hours minus remuneration due to retractions.” Publishers also already incur significant expenses for investigations, notifications, […]

Currently, our infrastructures, which are built primarily on people-driven workflows, are not equipped to handle the repercussions of threatened, burned-out, career-cushioning staff.
