"It uses AI to find and invite reviewers"—sounds like a bit of a
nightmare? Destined to create ever more unpaid reviewing labour,
and doubtless of articles that should never have even been sent
out in the first place, having taken away ostensibly any editorial
oversight as the first barrier to entry.
I'm reminded of your and Simone Tulumello's conversation on this list a few months ago about peer-review, particularly Simone's very salient point: "Without denying the problems with peer-review, I kinda have the feeling that peer-review has become a convenient scapegoat for things that are ultimately the responsibility of editorial boards [...] [where] in many journals peer-reviewers are asked to do the editors' job." With this journal that is apparently literally the case.

"Qeios is a multidisciplinary open-access, open peer review, scientific publishing platform. Publishing is free, and it has no editors who make accept/reject decisions."
