Letters of recommendation are ubiquitous in the research enterprise. Requesting, writing, and reviewing letters of recommendation are all fraught with bias, especially for individuals from groups historically excluded from research environments. We detail how letter reviewers, requesters, and writers can make letters of recommendation a more equitable tool to evaluate scientists.
推荐信在研究领域中无处不在。请求、撰写和审查推荐信都充满了偏见,尤其是对于那些来自历史上被排除在研究环境之外的群体的个人。我们详细介绍了推荐信的审阅者、请求者和撰写者如何使推荐信成为一个更公平的评估科学家的工具。
