Collaboration between academic institutions and publishers is essential for advancing ongoing peer review reform. Despite being an important process in scientific publishing, the flaws of the current models of peer review used by most publishers are increasingly recognised, and include inefficiency, inconsistency, bias and a lack of transparency. Fortuitously, numerous journals and related organisations have leveraged the transformative potential of preprints to already initiate positive changes. However, active support from academic institutions, influential in shaping researchers’ careers and cultures, is crucial too. This potential collaboration would offer mutual benefits, foster more responsible research assessment, help reimagine peer review, and ultimately promote a healthier research culture.
