The Case for Using Educational Scholarship to Improve Peer Review

Abstract

Peer review is broken. Reviewer comments often lack constructiveness, clarity, and consistency. For decades, educational scholarship has provided evidence-based, theoretically informed, and robust interventions for the provision of effective feedback. I argue, therefore, that the key to fix peer review lies within the educational literature.
