Peer Review: Readers in the Making of Scholarly Knowledge
Résumé
Driven by a constant process of specialization, the extension of judging instances to readers may appear as a reallocation of expertise, ewpowering ing a growing number of people in the name of distributed knowledge.In an ongoing context of revelations of massive scientific fraud, which often implicates editorial processes and journals themselves, the derelic- tion inherent to judging instances prior to publication has transformed the
mass of readers into a vital resource for unearthing error and fraud. Thus, peerdom shall be reshaped, as lay readers have now full access to a large part of the scientific literature and have become valued audiences as quantified end users of published articles
