| summary |
Information and communication technologies, such as Internet, can both challenge traditional ways and open opportunities for solving existent problems of present academic quality assurance system. Sciencepaper Online in China (CSPO) has adopted a sophisticated mechanism for quality controlling, which can be represented by “Publish Online First, Author Selected Peer-Review Later”. Using a five-star rating system for quality labelling, each reviewed paper will be assigned a one to five star grade label, corresponding with Poor, Fair, Good, Very Good, and Excellent. With this system, CSPO innovatively solves the conflict between rapid publication and quality assurance. This paper will investigate this unique quality mechanism, with the aim to understand its operation more thoroughly and evaluate its value to the scientific communication community. |
