the idea behind (open access, all free, voluntary) is great but they keep on sending me requests for reviews on topics I am not expert so I started wondering how the process is managed...so also ignoring here, like DaveI (perhaps foolishly) agreed to participate in a Qeios review. It was mainly curiosity on my part that motivated me, it had some nice ideas behind the platform about accessibility and more discursive approach academic research and dissemination but also traded off on rigour and quality, plus it seemed to expect a lot of input and I’ve hence ignored all subsequent emails. Also I don’t know about the motivations behind it so I’m not really advocating getting involved to be honest but maybe others have a different take…
Best wishes,
Dave

"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.

Anybody know anything about this journal, Qeios, which has asked for a review?
"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."
