Journals must navigate these complexities while maintaining efficiency and upholding research integrity. A well-structured peer review system is essential to ensuring that only high-quality, ethically sound research reaches publication. Despite ongoing efforts to refine peer review workflows, publishers continue to grapple with persistent obstacles, including reviewer shortages, ethical misconduct, and workload imbalances. Addressing these issues is key to sustaining trust in scholarly communication.
