まとめ
査読者が後の原稿バージョンで自身の研究を引用した場合、有利な推薦を受けた。しかし、引用を要求した査読者は原稿を承認する可能性が低かった。これは客観的な査読を損なう可能性がある。
科学分野:
- 書誌学
- 学術コミュニケーション
- 研究インテグリティ
背景:
- 査読は科学的品質保証に不可欠である。
- 査読者の引用慣行、潜在的な強制を含む、に関する懸念が存在する。
- オープン査読システムは、査読者の行動の透明性を提供する。
研究 の 目的:
- 査読者の自己引用が査読結果に与える影響を調査すること。
- 早期と後期の原稿バージョンでの引用の影響を区別すること。
- 査読者の引用要求が推薦の可能性に影響を与えるかどうかを評価すること。
主な方法:
- 一致した観察研究デザインを採用した。
- 4つのオープン査読誌からの37,000件以上の査読を分析した。
- 統計分析により、査読者の引用と推薦の有利性の関係を調査した。
主要な成果:
- 最初のバージョン以降のバージョンで引用された査読者は、有利な推薦を受ける可能性が高かった(OR=1.61)。
- 自己引用を要求した査読者は、承認を推薦する可能性が低かった(OR=0.15)。
- 査読者は、自身の研究が引用された原稿を承認する可能性が高かった(OR=3.5)。
結論:
- 査読者の推薦は、自己引用または引用要求によって影響を受ける可能性がある。
- これは、査読が純粋に客観的であるというよりも、取引的になる場合があることを示唆している。
- 客観的な評価を保証するには、査読者の引用慣行における潜在的なバイアスに対処する必要がある。

In statistics, several tools are used to interpret the data. Measures of central tendency represent the characteristics of the data, such as mean, median, and mode. Additionally, measures of variance like standard deviation and range are used to find the spread of data from the mean. Relative standing measures the distance between data locations. Commonly used measures of relative standings are percentile, z score, and quartiles.

Data are individual items of information obtained from a population or sample. Data may be classified as qualitative (categorical), quantitative continuous, or quantitative discrete. Because it is not practical to measure the entire population in a study, researchers use samples to represent the population. A random sample is a representative group from the population chosen by using a method that gives each individual in the population an equal chance of being included in the sample. Random...

Effects of feedback
946
Feedback in control systems plays a critical role in shaping various operational parameters, extending beyond simple error reduction to influence stability, bandwidth, gain, impedance, and sensitivity. Understanding these effects requires examining a basic feedback system characterized by defined input, output, error, and feedback signals.
Feedback significantly modifies the gain of a control system. The gain of a system without feedback is altered by a factor of one plus GH, where G represents...

Outliers and Influential Points
5.8K
An outlier is an observation of data that does not fit the rest of the data. It is sometimes called an extreme value. When you graph an outlier, it will appear not to fit the pattern of the graph. Some outliers are due to mistakes (for example, writing down 50 instead of 500), while others may indicate that something unusual is happening. Outliers are present far from the least squares line in the vertical direction. They have large "errors," where the "error" or residual is the...

Impact Loading
634
Impact loading occurs when a moving object collides with a stationary structure, such as a rod with a uniform cross-sectional area fixed at one end. Under these conditions, the rod absorbs the kinetic energy from the striking object, leading to deformation and subsequent stress development. As the rod returns to its original position and reaches maximum stress, the absorbed energy, initially manifested as kinetic energy, transforms entirely into strain energy.

Impact

Impact occurs when two bodies collide, leading to the application of impulsive forces between them. Analyzing impact mechanics involves considering two colliding particles moving along a line known as the line of impact, which passes through their centers and is perpendicular to the contact plane.
When particles with different initial velocities collide, they induce deformation by applying equal and opposite impulses. At the point of maximum deformation, the particles move together with...
