Peer Review of Digital Texts - open or closed?
Planned Obsolescence: Publishing, Technology, and the Future of the Academy will come out in print sometime next year from NYU Press, but it's available online right now, for open review.
One of the key arguments in the book is that the "peer review of digital texts must be an open, conversational process, one that draws on the wisdom of a far greater number of readers than the usual two or three anonymous reviewers, one that focuses on discussion among the reviewers, and between the reviewers and the author, and one that allows the multiplicity of responses to a text to become part of the text itself."
Do you agree or disagree with this argument?
