Web seminar on “Select Crowd Review: A new efficient method to organize peer review”

On December 7, 2020, our a virtual seminar on “Select Crowd Review: A new efficient method to organize peer review” with talks by the founders of this innovative peer review method took place. We would like to say thank you to our speakers and the almost 450 registrants and 250 attendees for this wonderful event!

Select Crowd Review allows editors to evaluate a manuscript within a very short time by using the mechanisms of social media communication while maintaining or even improving the quality of feedback.

We hosted a virtual seminar with talks by the founders Prof. Benjamin List as well as Maël Frize from Filestage, our collaboration partner for the innovative tech development of Select Crowd Review.

They introduced the concept and the advancement of the method, discussed the perception of select crowd and classical peer review within the author community, and gave an exclusive look behind-the-scenes at the process.

The event took place twice, a morning and an afternoon session, to allow participants from all regions of the world to attend.
