(1/2) @maddipow.bsky.social draws an interesting comparison here regarding #PeerReview. I think this could really benefit bad reviews but probably not rogue reviews - the latter consisting of bias, rudeness & deliberate mishandling!

I can never understand why efforts to improve peer review don’t learn from the decades of educational research about how to do good, robust, constructive assessment and feedback.
What would happen if we treated peer review as pedagogy?
