Effectiveness of Peer Review(EPR):A New Indicator for Academic Journals

同行评议一般属于定性评估的范畴,以往没有将其执行效果定量化的研究.本研究以学术期刊"同行评议"制度为研究对象,采用定量方法评价科技期刊"同行评议"制度运行的效果,设计了新的指标"同行评议效果"(EPR).对"同行评议效果"指标概念的提出和算法的阐释是本研究最大的创新点.在一定假设条件下,EPR的算法可以进行简化.本研究根据采集到8本期刊不同时段的投稿数据和万方数据资源系统的引用数据,对EPR进行了试验性计算.结果表明,EPR可以反映期刊的同行评议制度执行效果.     

Scholarly Communication,Peer Review,and Reference Librarian Ethics:

There is some apparent conflict involving reference librarian ethics and their relationship to some recently published views relating to peer review and the scholarly communication system. A case study, based on the gap between the promotional rhetoric and the actual peer review, editorial practices of a famous reference work, the Lexicon of the Middle Ages (Artemis Verlag, Munich), brings this conflict into sharp relief. An academic debate in the field of art history of the Middle Ages, known as the Guide Riccio controversy, has been called the "case of the century" in art history. Material distributed by the Lexicon of the Middle Ages states that in the case of controversies, protagonists of opposing sides will have the chance to express their ideas in the pages of the lexicon. But the protagonists of one side of the Guide Riccio controversy were flatly rejected. If providing accurate information, and providing access to all sides of an issue, are tenets of library ethics, it would seem logical that academic and reference librarians would become professional allies of the academic whistleblower.     

电子期刊对学术信息行为影响的定性研究

对加泰罗尼亚地区(西班牙)的高校进行的一项定性研究表明,与以前相比,现在的高校研究人员阅读量更大,内容也更广泛。电子期刊的使用节省了研究人员到图书馆进行实体浏览的次数,网页浏览和邮件提醒(TOC)也正在一定程度上取代实体浏览。为了追踪最新研究动向,网络搜索已成为研究人员最常用的技术手段,谷歌学术已成为他们获取学术信息的重要渠道。与此同时,研究人员的阅读却趋于表面,在学术信息的个性化管理方面还存在诸多问题。     

学术期刊"退稿率"定义的反思

学术期刊之退稿率向来为学术界采具同侪评阅(peer review)要求下,所并随产生与要求呈具的资料。它通常亦被用作证明期刊品质控制良窳之标准之一。然而,因定义与界定不清,使得退稿率之实质意义并不如预期,也有失公允。本文即为举证退稿率要求之不当,并提出适当之改进建议,俾使学术期刊评价能更合乎公平客观。     

A Game Theoretic Approach to Peer Review of Grant Proposals

This paper studies the grant peer review process employed by the Turkish regional development agencies, which is adapted from a review procedure of the Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency of the European Union. To model this process, we consider a Bayesian strategic-form game played by three reviewers who observe both a common and a private score signal about an evaluated project and assign their scores to minimize the sum of their disutilities from the false acceptance and false rejection of the project. We numerically compute the Bayesian Nash equilibria of this game and conduct several comparative statics exercises, after calibrating the model parameters accordingly. We also introduce two simpler review processes and compare their performances to that of the calibrated process in terms of outcome statistics, involving pass and fail rates of the evaluated projects, and manipulation statistics, involving the reviewers’ manipulation rate and size of scores.     

E-Journal Usage and Impact in Scholarly Research: A Review of the Literature

This article reviews the literature dealing with scholarly information behavior around the use of e-journals. Its aims are to examine the use and impact the availability of e-journals has had on the community of scholars, mainly from the UK, but looking also at literature from other countries. Results demonstrated the huge rise in availability and take-up of e-journals, although there are mixed findings regarding the fate of the print format. Access to e-literature is dominated by keyword searching, with subject-specific (e.g., chemical abstracts); or general academic (Web of Knowledge) gateways and search engines (typically Google) all used above publishers platforms, alerts, and other ways to find literature. The value of e-journals has been shown to be high, both in terms of in gaining new insights and helping with teaching, and in measure of “Contingent valuation”: the time or cost incurred by not having provision. Barriers to e-journal use included non-purchase of titles by the library and years or volumes not available electronically. Although many disciplinary differences exist, due to their differing natures and means of scholarly communication, nevertheless, the review concludes that it is now unthinkable for researchers to work without the convenience and comprehensiveness that e-journals provide them.

A Rationale for Scholarly Examination of Institutional Review Boards: A Case Study

In recent years, institutional review boards (IRBs) have become an increasingly significant part of the research process for communication scholars. This essay provides a rationale for scholarly examination of IRBs. Using the review process for this special issue as a case study, it identifies a number of ironies that provide justification for this special issue.

国际上同行评议典型做法及对我国的启示

同行评议一直是最权威、最有效的科学评价方式,美国、日本、欧盟等发达国家和国际组织都建立较为完整的同行评议制度,制定同行评议政策法规,建立标准化的评议流程,针对不同类型的项目采取不同评议方法。面对科技创新高质量发展的新要求、新任务,本文从加强相关法规体系建设、建立规范化的同行评议准则、构建完善的同行评议专家库、探索因项制宜的同行评议方式、大力营造良好的同行评议生态环境等方面对规范和完善我国同行评议制度提出对策建议。     

Current and Evolving Models of Peer Review

New models of scientific publishing and new ways of practicing peer review have injected a recent dynamism into the scholarly communication system. In this article, we delineate the context of the traditional peer-review model, reflect on some of the first experiences with open peer review, and forecast some of the challenges that new models for peer review will have to meet. Our findings suggest that the peer-review function has the potential to be divorced from the journal system, so that the responsibility to judge the significance of a paper may no longer fall exclusively to formal reviewers, but may be assessed by the whole readership community.
