<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">I too was thinking of this. I.e., with so much dissatisfaction over the limitations of reviewing procedures why not let the world have access to everything and vote on whether they like it or not. The primary reason against this is presumably
the need for papers as fodder for tenure reviews--and hence the ranking of where papers are published as one of the criteria determining how much their publication is worth. Books > journals > conference papers > posters, etc. where online publication without
the requirement of reviewer acceptance would come in dead last.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">And one other note. One way to improve reviews, when a given reviewer is given a stack of papers to review, would be to have them rank the papers from best to worst. Ranks provide much more information than yes/no votes and sets of ranks
can be computationally merged to arrive at decisions not possible from appprove/disapprove votes. It has been proven that if our elections were done this way, we'd be able to tap more of what people felt about candidates than the current scheme of having qualifying
and run-off elections. More of the (I like X most, but if X couldn't win, I'd prefer Y over Z to win).<o:p></o:p></p>
