Description
Pre-print repositories have seen a significant increase in use over the past fifteen
years across multiple research domains. Researchers are beginning to develop
applications capable of using these repositories to assist the scientific community
above and beyond the pure dissemination of information. The contributions set forth
by this paper emphasize a deconstructed publication model where in which the
peer-review certification phase of a pre-print is mediated by an OAI-compliant
peer-review service. This peer-review service uses a social-network algorithm for
determining potential reviewers for a submitted manuscript and for weighting the
influence of each participating reviewer’s evaluations. The paper also provides a
set of peer-review specific metadata tags that can accompany a pre-prints existing
metadata record. The combinations of these contributions provide a unique
repository-centric peer-review model within the framework of the current OAI
standards existing today.
