Title: Analysis of Peer Review Effectiveness for Academic Journals Based on Distributed Parallel System,
Abstract: A simulation model based on parallel systems is established, aiming to
explore the relation between the number of submissions and the overall quality
of academic journals within a similar discipline under peer review. The model
can effectively simulate the submission, review and acceptance behaviors of
academic journals, in a distributed manner. According to the simulation
experiments, it could possibly happen that the overall standard of academic
journals may deteriorate due to excessive submissions.
