Academic Journals Face Worsening Peer-Review Crisis

A study of Australian academic journals surveyed 139 editors and interviewed 27, finding 55% say finding peer reviewers is a significant or very significant challenge. Editors report sending 30-plus invitations for two reviewers, increased desk rejections, longer publication delays, and growing fears for journal viability and research integrity; authors and institutions are urged to formally recognise and incentivise reviewing.
