contents The peer review process is essential to the success of science, but it also delays publications and absorbs considerable effort. Journals find it increasingly difficult to recruit competent reviewers. This study presents the results of agent-based simulation that models the current peer review process. We compared it to the simulation of a new peer review process that uses the Deferred Acceptance Algorithm (DAA) to match papers to journals. The matches are just as good while dramatically reducing the required number of reviews and delays. The results show that it is possible for the scientific community to significantly optimise the peer review process.
