Abstract: The common peer review system in academic paper assessment is seriously deficient, making it difficult to ensure fair reviews and to enhance review quality of the research population under the current situation in China. An "Open-Review" system is proposed consisting of a public recommendation stage and an open, anonymous critical review stage. The system dissociates the publication and evaluation of research papers, which are two functions with conflicting requirements. Combining the traditional Chinese wisdom "Nomination of the competent" and the most current internet technology microblog, the openness and resource-sharing rationale of the new system, while ensuring fairness in academic review, can effectively help the propagation of knowledge and experience among the scientific community, and quickly promote the growth of Chinese science journals.

Key words: open review, nomination of the competent, microblog
