Abstract
Sharpe (2024) summarized the factors leading to editorial bias, lack of diversity, and lack of transparency and indicated what might improve matters. Here, I argue that the suggestions that were made would be improved if more thought were given to how these changes impact the incentives of editors. I give examples in the areas of control of bias, encouragement of diversity, and increase of transparency, showing what might be done to incentivize editors, along with other stakeholders, to work on these issues. Perhaps most notably, I suggest that we might change the publication model to allow more individuals to take part by retaining peer review but not organizing the reviews around journals that each have a single chief editor.

夏普(Sharpe,2024 年)总结了导致编辑偏见、缺乏多样性和缺乏透明度的因素,并指出了可能改善的方法。在此,我认为,如果能更多地考虑这些变化如何影响编辑的积极性,那么所提出的建议将会得到改善。我从控制偏见、鼓励多样性和提高透明度等方面举例说明了可以采取哪些措施来激励编辑和其他利益相关者共同解决这些问题。也许最值得注意的是,我建议我们可以改变出版模式,让更多的人参与进来,方法是保留同行评审,但不围绕每个期刊都有一个主编来组织评审。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved)。
