SciCommons

The changing landscape of academic publishing requires robust, transparent, and faster review systems. The Sci-commons portal, developed during Google Summer of Code 2023, addresses these challenges by combining traditional peer review mechanisms with community-driven open-review systems. Additionally, the platform champions anonymous reviews to ensure ethical and unbiased feedback.

Features and Implementation:

• Multi-community Submission: Enables scholars to reach diverse audiences by submitting to various communities. Parallel reviews provide a plethora of feedback.
• Open Reviewing System: Beyond official reviewers, any registered user can offer insights, increasing the depth and breadth of reviews. Articles can be rated, facilitating community-driven quality checks.
• Anonymous Reviewing: Unique random handles are assigned to reviewers, ensuring anonymity. Promotes ethical, unbiased, and objective reviews.
• Automated Peer-Review Process: Initial reviews by community admins act as a preliminary filter. Randomized assignment of official reviewers and moderators ensures an unbiased peer-review process.
• Reputation-Based System: Reviewers gain or lose reputation based on community reactions to their reviews. Encourages quality feedback and separates users based on review reliability.
• Article-specific Chat Page: A dedicated space for informal discussions around submitted articles. Ensures that the review section remains focused and clutter-free.
