I'd even call for greater numbers of referees. There are big practical problems with doing so, but the uncertainty associated with the traditional two or three referees is >50% ( sqrt(3)/3 ). An ensemble of 7-8 referees may produce a more reliable result.


Refereeing is already a huge time sink. I don't believe doubling the referee burden is a possibility without a major incentive changes.


Agreed completely. Doing it right takes a lot of time.
