Author academic influence and manuscript acceptance: Evidence from peer review in cell press journals.
Background: Prior studies on peer review have largely focused on manuscript characteristics as the primary determinants of acceptance decisions. Although author academic influence is widely recognized in practice as a contributing factor, it has received limited attention in the academic literature, mainly due to data constraints.
Methods: Using a unique dataset of manuscript submissions to Cell Press journals, we examine how author academic influence relates to peer review outcomes.
Results: We find that author academic influence is positively associated with manuscript acceptance, with this effect particularly pronounced for junior researchers.
Conclusions: Our analysis indicates that author academic influence functions as a signal of a manuscript's impact, thereby enhancing its likelihood of acceptance.
