Peer Review in 2056 - Enjoy!

It was soon noticed that the citation index of a study could be predicted from the technical review statistics, the quality quotient, [...] using a seven dimensional neural network… Since we have been using our current system it has proved 98.3% accurate at predicting citation indices and in the years since its introduction has increased [our journal's] own Impact Factor by an average of 6.4% year on year. This system also has the advantage of reviewing a paper in under a minute so that we now make a decision on 96% of all submissions within 24 hours.
