概括
"先问"裁判分配方法增加了转率,但一旦接受,会加快审查速度. 总的来说,手稿审查时间在"先问"和"只需发送"协议之间没有显著差异.
科学领域:
- 医学杂志 出版 出版 出版
- 同行评审管理管理
背景情况:
- 分配同行评审人员有两种主要方法:"先问" (在发送稿件之前询问审稿人) 和"只发送" (发送稿件并允许审稿人选择退出).
- 这两个同行审查协议在完成率和审查持续时间方面的比较效率仍然不清楚.
研究的目的:
- 为了比较手稿同行评审的"先问"和"只需发送"协议.
- 评估两种协议之间的裁判翻转率,审查完成时间和总体审查过程持续时间的差异.
主要方法:
- 一项涉及283份手稿的随机试验在"产科和妇科"杂志的编辑部进行.
- 手稿被分配到"先问"或"只需发送"协议中,每个手稿都随机分配了裁判.
- 关键指标包括裁判响应率,转盘比例,审查提交时间和总体审查完成时间.
主要成果:
- "问先"协议导致了较高的初始裁判转让率 (15%与8%) 和大量的不回答率 (21%).
- 然而,对于同意的裁判来说,提交审查的时间在"先问"方法 (21.0天与25.0天) 中显著缩短 (21.0天).
- 尽管个体审查速度更快,但两种方案之间获得完整审查的总体时间没有显著差异 (24.7天与25.9天).
结论:
- 虽然"先问"方法增加了审查员拒绝的可能性,但它导致接受者更快地完成审查.
- 该研究发现",先问"和"只需发送"协议之间的手稿审查过程的总体持续时间没有显著差异.
- 在选择同行评审分配策略时,期刊编辑必须权衡更高的初始参与度和潜在的更快的交付时间之间的权衡.

Surveys
Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.
Group Design
The most basic experimental design involves two groups: the experimental group and the control group. The two groups are designed to be the same except for one difference— experimental manipulation. The experimental group gets the experimental manipulation—that is, the treatment or variable being tested—and the control group does not. Since experimental manipulation is the only difference between the experimental and control groups, we can be sure that any differences between the two are due to...
Blind Procedures
Ideally, the people who observe and record the children’s behavior are unaware of who was assigned to the experimental or control group, in order to control for experimenter bias. Experimenter bias refers to the possibility that a researcher’s expectations might skew the results of the study. Remember, conducting an experiment requires a lot of planning, and the people involved in the research project have a vested interest in supporting their hypotheses. If the observers knew which child was...
Persuasion Strategies
Researchers have tested many persuasion strategies, including the foot-in-the door and the door-in-the-face techniques, in a variety of contexts. Ultimately, the principles are effective in selling products and changing people’s attitude, ideas, and behaviors (Cialdini & Goldstein, 2004).
Randomized Experiments
The randomization process involves assigning study participants randomly to experimental or control groups based on their probability of being equally assigned. Randomization is meant to eliminate selection bias and balance known and unknown confounding factors so that the control group is similar to the treatment group as much as possible. A computer program and a random number generator can be used to assign participants to groups in a way that minimizes bias.

Correspondence Bias
Correspondence bias, also referred to as the fundamental attribution error, describes the tendency to attribute another person’s behavior to internal characteristics rather than situational influences. This cognitive bias leads individuals to overlook external factors that may be influencing actions, thereby fostering potentially inaccurate assessments of others’ intentions and dispositions.Empirical Evidence for Correspondence BiasResearch has consistently demonstrated the prevalence of...
