Collective-Intelligence Approach
to the Peer-Review Publication
Process

Intelligence Research Group, University of California, Santa

Place: room 3C204 (building C, 3rd floor), VUB campus
Oefenplein
Time: Friday, Feb. 4, at 17:30 h.
Abstract:
The peer-review process is the foundation by which the
scientific community publishes its research findings. With
advancements in the communication medium brought on by the Internet,
some journals have been able to reduce their costs by providing
electronic publications. This work is an attempt to further the
advancement of electronic publishing by providing the scientific
community with a software system that is able to collect, review, and
ultimately disseminate articles without the involvement of a 3rd
party entity. Such a system relies heavily on the social
networks created by the scientific community as a mediating factor to
steer the dissemination of pre-prints for review, the selection of
reviewers to evaluate the paper's quality, and the spread of
publications after acceptance. The promise is to further reduce
the cost of publications in order to meet the desires of the OAI
(Open Access Initiative).
(This work is an advancement to candidacy talk and will discuss
some preliminary insights into how this research will be carried
out.)
