Is scientific peer-review a failed experiment? This essay (from a psychologist) makes the case for ditching pre-publication peer review. There do seem to be a lot of parallels between the arguments for pre-publication peer review and the argument for suppressing online misinformation (and the related issue of censorship). Maybe if we can solve the problem for science, we can solve it more generally.
