A recent publication in this journal (Gordon and Poulin, 2009) argues that the cost of the NSERC peer review exceeds the cost of giving every researcher a $30,000 baseline grant. However, the authors overestimated the ratio of peer review expenses to baseline grant cost by a factor of 26. The real cost of peer review is less than 5% of the baseline grant amount.
本期刊最近的一篇出版物（Gordon 和 Poulin，2009）认为，加拿大自然科学与工程研究理事会同行评议的成本超过了为每位研究人员提供 3 万美元基本资助的成本。然而，作者高估了同行评议费用与基本资助成本的比例，高出了 26 倍。同行评议的实际成本不到基本资助额的 5%。
