Peer review is an integral part of scientific life, determining success in publishing, grant applications, and professional appointments. We argue for the importance of neutral language in peer review and provide examples of nonneutral linguistic and stylistic devices that emphasize a reviewer's personal response to the manuscript rather than their objective assessment.
同行评议是科学研究不可或缺的一部分,它决定了发表文章、申请拨款和获得专业任命的成功与否。我们主张在同行评议中使用中性语言的重要性,并提供了一些非中性的语言和文体手段的例子,这些手段强调了评审人对稿件的个人反应,而不是他们的客观评估。
