Maxwell definitely shook up the world of scientific publishing—he didn’t invent peer review, but he did make it central to how journals like his Pergamon Press operated, scaling the process globally and making journal publishers powerful gatekeepers in science.
His control over so many journals gave him huge influence over which research got published and how scientific debates were shaped, which is exactly why people have raised concerns about how commercial interests and lack of transparency can sometimes skew or limit what ideas make it into the scientific literature.
