真正的同行评审

True Peer Review

Amit K. Chopra

摘要:

在计算机科学中,会议和期刊会进行同行评审,以决定发表什么。许多人指出了同行审查的内在弱点,包括偏见、质量和问责制。许多人建议并采用了同行评审的改进,例如,双盲同行评审与作者反驳。在这篇文章中,我认为,目前实行的同行评议混淆了明智的想法,获得评论的文件与不可避免的缺陷,我们要么接受或拒绝的文件,我术语的守门。如果我们把这两者分开来看,那么很明显,与当前同行评审系统相关的弊病不是由于获得评论的做法,而是由于把关的做法。真正的同行评议是我提出的取代现有同行评议制度的建议。它赞成就文件的是非曲直进行公开辩论的想法;但是,它明确反对把关的做法。真正的同行评议提供了当前同行评议制度的所有好处,但没有任何缺点。真正的同行评议将导致一个真正参与的研究人员社区,从而更好的科学。

英文摘要:

In computer science, conferences and journals conduct peer review in order to decide what to publish. Many have pointed out the inherent weaknesses in peer review, including those of bias, quality, and accountability. Many have suggested and adopted refinements of peer review, for instance, double blind peer review with author rebuttals. In this essay, I argue that peer review as currently practiced conflates the sensible idea of getting comments on a paper with the irrevocably-flawed one that we either accept or reject the paper, which I term gatekeeping. If we look at the two separately, then it is clear that the ills associated with current peer review systems are not due to the practice of getting comments, but due to the practice of gatekeeping. True peer review constitutes my proposal for replacing existing peer review systems. It embraces the idea of open debate on the merits of a paper; however, it rejects unequivocally the exercise of gatekeeping. True peer review offers all the benefits of current peer review systems but has none of its weaknesses. True peer review will lead to a truly engaged community of researchers and therefore better science.
