摘要

目的本研究的目的是通过研究可从高影响因子期刊上发表的随机对照试验（RCT）中轻易提取的代用指标，评估口腔医学领域的编辑偏倚风险。材料与方法人工下载 2019 年 1 月至 2023 年 3 月间发表的随机对照试验。提取的数据涉及作者所属单位、提交日期和首次发表日期、研究地点、审查时间、是否符合《试验报告统一标准》（CONSORT）检查表、伦理批准号、临床试验注册时间、报告结果、注册表中的资格标准以及样本量计算。结果本横断面研究共纳入 40 项 RCT。平均审查时间为 165.38 ± 91.40 天，55% 的 RCT 超过了 120 天的审查时间。共有 23 项 RCT（57.5%）符合 CONSORT 声明。有编辑共同署名的 RCT 的审稿时间明显短于没有编辑团队作者的 RCT 的审稿时间（91.75 ± 42.03 天 vs. 239.00 ± 63.00 天；p < 0.001）。结论在统计学上，牙科学领域有编辑共同署名的 RCT 在初步筛选或同行评审过程中更受青睐，其评审时间明显更短。现实意义科学期刊应采用彻底、公平和透明的双盲同行评审程序，以提高发表研究论文的质量。为消除与编辑合著有关的任何顾虑，编辑应在发表论文的评注中明确解释同行评审过程。

Risk of Editorial Bias: A Case Study of Factors Contributing to Review Time in a Leading Journal in Dentistry

Objectives

The aim of this study was to evaluate the risk of editorial bias in the field of Dentistry by examining surrogate measures which can be readily extracted from published randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in a journal of high impact factor.

Material and Methods

RCTs published between January 2019 and March 2023 were manually downloaded. Data related to author affiliation, dates of submission and first publication, study location, review time, compliance with Consolidated Standards for Reporting Trials (CONSORT) checklist, ethics approval number, clinical trial registration time, reported outcomes, and eligibility criteria in registries and sample size calculation were extracted.

Results

A total of 40 RCTs were included in this cross-sectional study. The mean review time was 165.38 ± 91.40 days with 55% of RCTs exceeding 120-day review time. A total of 23 RCTs (57.5%) were compliant with the CONSORT statement. The review time of RCTs with editorial co-authorship was significantly shorter than the review time of RCTs that had no authors from the editorial team (91.75 ± 42.03 vs. 239.00 ± 63.00 days; p < 0.001).

Conclusions

RCTs with editorial co-authorship in the field of Dentistry were statistically favored in the initial screening or peer-review process having significantly short review time.

Practical Implications

Scientific journals should adopt a double-blind peer-review process that is thorough, fair, and transparent to improve the quality of published research. To address any concerns related to editorial co-authorship, editors should explicitly explain the peer-review process in a commentary added to the published paper.

期刊介绍： Clinical and Experimental Dental Research aims to provide open access peer-reviewed publications of high scientific quality representing original clinical, diagnostic or experimental work within all disciplines and fields of oral medicine and dentistry. The scope of Clinical and Experimental Dental Research comprises original research material on the anatomy, physiology and pathology of oro-facial, oro-pharyngeal and maxillofacial tissues, and functions and dysfunctions within the stomatognathic system, and the epidemiology, aetiology, prevention, diagnosis, prognosis and therapy of diseases and conditions that have an effect on the homeostasis of the mouth, jaws, and closely associated structures, as well as the healing and regeneration and the clinical aspects of replacement of hard and soft tissues with biomaterials, and the rehabilitation of stomatognathic functions. Studies that bring new knowledge on how to advance health on the individual or public health levels, including interactions between oral and general health and ill-health are welcome.
