Sammanfattning
This report investigates the prevailing attitudes toward traditional and open peer
review systems among researchers in computer science. Through an analytical survey
conducted with a diverse group of participants, including faculty members and
students with varying publication records, we explore the perceived efficacy, fairness,
and quality of both review processes. Particular attention is given to the consistency
of respondents' answers, examining the correlation between their general opinions on
peer review and their specific experiences with comment quality. The study aims to
assess whether open peer review can address the shortcomings of the traditional
system, taking into account the role of respondent and their experience in research.
