COVID-19 NEWS: 'The MIT Press and UC Berkeley Launch Rapid Reviews: COVID-19'
The MIT Press is releasing Rapid Reviews: COVID-19, an OA, rapid-review overlay journal that aims to accelerate peer review in COVID-19-related research and combat misinformation about the illness. With traditional peer review taking 4 or more weeks to complete, this journal promises expert reviews completed in days. Its editor-in-chief is Stefano M. Bertozzi, professor of health policy and management and dean emeritus of the School of Public Health at the University of California–Berkeley.MIT notes, “Using artificial intelligence tools, a global team will identify promising scholarship in preprint repositories, commission expert peer reviews, and publish the results on an open access platform in a completely transparent process. The journal will strive for disciplinary and geographic breadth, sourcing manuscripts from all regions and across a wide variety of fields, including medicine; public health; the physical, biological, and chemical sciences; the social sciences; and the humanities.” Its first reviews are scheduled to be published in July 2020.
