Despite its benefits, the peer review process faces several challenges:
Bias: Reviewers may have biases based on personal beliefs, institutional affiliations, or competition. Time-Consuming: The process can be lengthy, delaying the dissemination of important findings. Lack of Transparency: The anonymity of reviewers can sometimes lead to a lack of accountability. Inconsistency: Different reviewers may provide conflicting feedback, making it challenging for authors to address comments adequately.
