Core Tip Peer review is the guarantor of the quality of the scientific literature. Although peer review plays a pivotal role in vetting of the scholarly work submitted for publication and identification of its shortcomings and limitations; it still has its own limitations. The main drawbacks of the current peer review system are the extended time needed for reviewing articles, the difficulty in finding available expert reviewers, and the lack of direct communication between the reviewers and authors in an anonymous manner. The present editorial suggests an alternative, improved platform for peer review that involves direct communication between the authors and the reviewers in a real-time, anonymized manner. The proposed platform would provide more robust, quicker, and perhaps a fairer system for peer review of the literature.
