I know how peer review works. I worked at a medical journal for years.
Peer review doesn't involve the academic community "as much as possible." Peer review means sending it out to at least three known experts in the field, anonymously, and publishing or rejecting or requesting revision based on those reviews. What do they mean by "as much as possible" here? What is the role of their academic editor?
