Peer review – do we need gradual improvements or a revolution?

In conclusion, it was a thought provoking session. Given the ESOF motto of  ‘Science as Revolution’, someone asked if we should be expecting a revolution in peer review. Should we do away with journals and substitute them with something better? It seems the feeling from the panel was that in light of much innovation and change that is already happening, we may not need to completely overturn the current system. Instead, we should support existing initiatives aimed at improving it and make sure that journals change with the times.
