As an editor of academic works, I often suffer the inadequacies of a peer-review process that is no more than rubber stamping to maintain volume. Too much of the content I work on is so intellectually weak that I long ago gave up believing the gatekeeper argument. And as a publisher, I saw plenty of personality- and relationship-based peer review. But I’d not come across corrupt peer review until now. Sigh.
