Put pressure on publishers to follow best practice — external regulation is the answer

peter.suber's bookmarks 2026-01-01

Summary:

"One area of science is strangely devoid of independent checks — academic publishing....I propose that academic journals submit to independent regulation through an international quality-management standard, known as ISO 9001. Organizations certified as ISO-9001-compliant must demonstrate operations that are customer-focused, committed to continual improvement and underpinned by systematic management approaches and evidence-based decision-making."
