摘要

我们建立了不同激励因素对同行评议中期刊行为的影响模型。在一项计划下，该杂志旨在发表最高质量的论文;在第二种模式下，期刊的目标是保持较高的退稿率。在这两种方案下，尽管允许同行评议中出现重大错误，但期刊更倾向于设定非常高的接受标准。然而，在第二种方案下，为了鼓励更多来自平庸论文的投稿，该杂志被激励降低其编辑过程的准确性。这不仅会导致更糟糕的同行评议，还会导致发表的文章质量下降。

Academic journals, incentives, and the quality of peer review: a model

We model the impact of different incentives on journal behavior in undertaking peer review. Under one scheme, the journal aims to publish the highest quality papers; under the second, the journal aims to maintain a high rejection rate. Under both schemes, journals prefer to set very high standards for acceptance despite allowing significant error in peer review. Under the second scheme, however, in order to encourage more submissions from mediocre papers, the journal is incentivized to make its editorial process less accurate. This leads to both worse peer review and to lower quality articles being published.
