从审稿模式和作者特征看Nature期刊的稿件接收和产出

Uptake and outcome of manuscripts in Nature journals by review model and author characteristics

Barbara McGillivray, Elisa De Ranieri

摘要:

双盲同行评议被认为是避免学术出版中隐性裁判偏见的一种可能的解决方案。本研究的目的是分析选择双盲同行评议的通讯作者的人口统计学特征,并确定不同的审稿模式对稿件编辑结果的影响。数据包括2015年3月至2017年2月期间25种自然品牌期刊收到的128,454篇手稿。作者对双盲的吸收率为12%。我们发现期刊层次和评论类型之间存在一个小但重要的关联。我们发现男性和女性之间的同行评议模式的分布没有统计学上的显着差异。我们发现,来自知名度较低的机构的通讯作者更倾向于选择双盲评审。在提交数量最多的10个国家中,我们发现国家和审查类型之间存在微小但重要的关联。双盲论文在首次决策和审查后的结果明显比单盲论文更负面(即,拒绝的可能性更高)。当作者提交给更有声望的期刊时,他们更频繁地选择双盲评审,他们隶属于不太有声望的机构,或者他们来自特定的国家;双盲选择也与不太成功的编辑结果有关。

英文摘要:

Double-blind peer review has been proposed as a possible solution to avoid implicit referee bias in academic publishing. The aims of this study are to analyse the demographics of corresponding authors choosing double blind peer review, and to identify differences in the editorial outcome of manuscripts depending on their review model. Data includes 128,454 manuscripts received between March 2015 and February 2017 by 25 Nature-branded journals. Author uptake for double-blind was 12%. We found a small but significant association between journal tier and review type. We found no statistically significant difference in the distribution of peer review model between males and females. We found that corresponding authors from the less prestigious institutions are more likely to choose double-blind review. In the ten countries with the highest number of submissions, we found a small but significant association between country and review type. The outcome at both first decision and post review is significantly more negative (i.e. a higher likelihood for rejection) for double than single-blind papers. Authors choose double-blind review more frequently when they submit to more prestigious journals, they are affiliated with less prestigious institutions or they are from specific countries; the double-blind option is also linked to less successful editorial outcomes.
