Peer review, rebuilt

Lantern: our editorial system

Peer review fails when it is slow, anonymous-but-unaccountable, and thankless. Lantern — the system running all six journals — fixes the incentives:

  • Double-anonymous by default, open review opt-in for both parties
  • Reviewers credited and paid — honoraria per review, ORCID-recorded
  • 31-day median first decision, visible statistics per journal
  • COPE-aligned ethics, published retraction policy, iThenticate screening
