The article discusses how and why eLife selects papers for peer review. The editors consider whether they can find high-quality reviewers and whether the reviews will be valuable to the scientific community. eLife aims to promote a culture where the content of a paper is more important than the journal it is published in. They include preprints, assessments, public reviews, and author responses in their published papers to improve the assessment and evaluation of scientific research. The article also mentions the challenges of finding reviewers and the need to focus efforts on papers that will be most inspiring to readers. The peer-review process at eLife involves a team of editors and reviewers who assess the scientific content of submissions. The goal is to provide high-quality assessments that can be judged on their own merits, regardless of where they are published. [Extracted from the article]
