Peer review is the process by which the quality of scholarly work is assessed prior to being published, presented, or funded. The consequences of flawed research entering the public domain in the "post-truth" era highlight the need to improve peer review quality, which we believe can be achieved by standardizing training. Here, we aim to enhance the quality of published literature by presenting a systematic guide to train new reviewers (and aid experienced ones) in the art of peer reviewing the rigor of scientific manuscripts.
同行评审是在学术作品发表、展示或获得资助之前评估其质量的过程。在“后真相”时代,有缺陷的研究进入公共领域所带来的后果凸显了提高同行评审质量的必要性,我们认为可以通过标准化培训来实现这一点。在此,我们旨在通过提供一份系统指南来提高已发表文献的质量,该指南用于培训新的评审人员(并帮助经验丰富的评审人员)掌握同行评审科学手稿严谨性的技巧。
