Dear Colleagues,
Peer review issues were the subject of a thread
here some time ago.
Several people had interesting thoughts.
Please find below request for ideas from
Gerry McKiernan at Iowa State University
for a presentation on
Alternative Peer Review Models for Scholarship

Alternative Peer Review Models for Scholarship
For a forthcoming presentation [and, of course, the obligatory
associated Web registry and article {:-)], I am greatly interested in
the key articles/report/documents about Alternative Peer Review for
Scholarship, as well as examples of exemplar (Web-based) publishing
initiatives that have implemented one or more of these alternatives.
The Alternative Models that come to mind are:
Open Peer Review
Formal Peer Review with Subsequent Commentary
Commentary Only (No Prior Formal Peer Review)
Pre and/or Post Commentary
Citation-based Peer Review
Reader-based Peer Review
Computer-Assisted Peer Review
Collaborative Filtering
Others?
and, of course
No Peer Review (Yes, No Review to Me can be reviewed as an Alternative).
I am *particularly* interested in any current research or
implementations that are Computer-Assisted such as
A SOFTWARE PROGRAM TO AID IN PEER REVIEW

Committee (1) Instituto Nacional de Nutrición Salvador Zubiran, 14000
Mexico City, Mexico (2)Centro Nacional de Informacion y Documentacion
