Sam Winemiller writes: “As Peer Review Week (September 15–19) nears, I’ve been reflecting on this process that has become so ingrained in the contemporary production and communication of scholarship. Academic libraries’ collection development responsibilities position us as arbiters of information legitimacy. We rely on ‘reputable’ sources to facilitate this validation of credible scholarship, often via blind peer review. But if the system we’ve relied on to legitimize scholarship isn’t working as well as it could, then as information professionals, we necessarily should be interested in potential solutions and alternative approaches.”
