Abstract

MARTINEZ-SAUCEDO, Mirna et al. Post-publication peer review: another sort of quality control of the scientific record in biomedicine. Gac. Méd. Méx [online]. 2020, vol.156, n.6, pp.533-536.  Epub May 27, 2021. ISSN 2696-1288.  https://doi.org/10.24875/gmm.20000078.

Traditional peer review is undergoing increasing questioning, given the increase in scientific fraud detected and the replication crisis biomedical research is currently going through. Researchers, academic institutions, and research funding agencies actively promote scientific record analysis, and multiple tools have been developed to achieve this. Different biomedical journals were founded with post-publication peer review as a feature, and there are several digital platforms that make this process possible. In addition, an increasing number biomedical journals allow commenting on articles published on their websites, which is also possible in preprint repositories. Moreover, publishing houses and researchers are largely using social networks for the dissemination and discussion of articles, which sometimes culminates in refutations and retractions.

Keywords : Post-publication peer review; Social networks; Biomedicine.
