Abstract
A simulation model based on parallel systems is established, aiming to
explore the relation between the number of submissions and the overall
standard of academic journals within a similar discipline under peer
review. The model can effectively simulate the submission, review, and
acceptance behaviors of academic journals in a distributed manner.
According to the simulation experiments, it could possibly happen that
the overall standard of academic journals deteriorates due to excessive
submissions.
