"How to Remove Bias From Peer Review" ASW
Illustrates larger points through specific case study and personal experience
addresses misogyny in academia
reviewer made rejection recommendation about an article, making sexist implications about its validity, and the editor just followed this one suggestion and didn't get any other reviews
suggestion to authors basically boiled down to "get a dude to help out"
Odom offers her own personal experience with such comments as a further example
particularly harsh comments that were aiming to hurt the author rather than help them
Editors should be held just as accountable as reviewers
"failure of editorial leadership" - Odom
"onus should not simply be on the reviewer" - Odom
the editor should have stopped this review from getting to the authors and asked for other reviewers to examine the article
editor was asked to step down, just as they should have
Odom also brings up open access journals
vetting for reviewers is "not as rigorous," which can lead to lesser papers being published
"lesser papers" meaning ones with content that either isn't new and necessary or is ridiculous and not substantiated
Anonymity
"...breeds contempt" - Odom
ideally protects reviewer's identity and privacy
unfortunately also protects them from consequences for their words
Odom compares this behavior to that of internet trolls
Odom says there should be a checks and balances system to make sure reviewers and editors are doing their jobs correctly
suggests that editors/reviewers should be removed for repeated making/allowing disparaging comments in reviews
this would likely help make sure that reviews truly do help authors create their best work and help academic journals publish the best work they can
Desired Purpose of Peer Review
Suggest to editor what to do with an article
Accept for publication?
Revise?
Reject?
"Offer helpful critiques"
