So ...
Why are scholars
using these peer
review features on
academic social
networking sites?

““If you speak to academics, they will complain about the
publishing system...It can take 12 months to get the
peer review done...
An academic should be able to get work published in 24
hours that is already peer reviewed by two people.”
~ Richard Price, CEO, Academia.edu
(Cutler, 2015)
