Let’s restore reciprocity in peer review

Peer review has long been in collapse: there are never enough reviewers, review quality is on the decline, and these challenges are making volunteer editing roles less desirable than ever. If we want peer review to have a future, we have to find ways to make it more sustainable and equitable, respecting the busy and complex lives that researchers lead, and the lack of incentives for peer review built into our institutions.

Our idea is to restore reciprocity: to submit, you must review. This requires changes on many fronts — journal policy, infrastructure, and even culture — we’re committed to leading this change, starting with venues in our community of Computing Education Researchers, but hopefully reaching academia.
