The Global Consortium for Systems Research (GCSR) is leading the collaborative peer review process for

Collaborative Peer Reviewers will be formally credited in the acknowledgements of the publication
Because the aim of the collaborative peer review is to get the widest possible participation and
broadest possible expertise, those who apply are generally accepted.
Early career researchers and researchers from historically underrepresented communities are encouraged to apply.
Process Details:
1. Upon a successful application, you will receive a confidential manuscript May-July of 2023. The manuscript will have up to 150-200 pages but you are welcome to review anywhere from 1 section (1000 words roughly) within a chapter where you have relevant expertise, to the full book.
2. Due to the urgency of the publication, the first round of feedback from each collaborative peer reviewer is expected within 2-4 weeks.
3. You will email your review to Marvin Cheung, the author of the publication and Chair of GCSR directly. It needs to include (a) which sections you have read and which sections you are reviewing, (b) your review and suggestions regarding logic, structure, style, and clarity - this can be anywhere from one sentence to a more substantial review, (c) confirm whether you would like to be formally recognized as a collaborative peer reviewer in the acknowledgements.
4. Marvin will respond to your feedback accordingly.
Please note:
Thank you for your interest and participation!
