This paper proposes a framework where AI synthesizes open, identity-linked commentary to replace traditional anonymous peer review, creating an immutable audit trail via blockchain. The core innovation lies in using machine learning to manage iterative scholarly evaluation and trace reputational dynamics across diverse fields. By reframing validation as a transparent, living process, the work directly addresses latency and gatekeeping issues through advanced computational methods.

Peer Review as Structured Commentary: Immutable Identity, Public Dialogue, and Reproducible Scholarship

arXivSeptember 28, 20261 min read

arXiv:2506.22497v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: This paper reconceptualises peer review as structured public commentary. Traditional academic validation is hindered by anonymity, latency, and gatekeeping. We propose a transparent, identity-linked, and reproducible system of scholarly evaluation anchored in open commentary. Leveraging blockchain for immutable audit trails and AI for iterative synthesis, we design a framework that incentivises intellectual contribution, captures epistemic evolution, and enables traceable reputational dynamics. This model empowers fields from computational science to the humanities, reframing academic knowledge as a living process rather than a static credential.
