Peer reviewers are four times more likely to give a grant application an "excellent" or "outstanding" score rather than a "poor" or "good" one when they are chosen by the grant’s applicants. https://t.co/ABH2Tt1DMr https://t.co/0IZR7zJzPn
Potential bias in peer review at SNSF https://t.co/iBXaH5uebY via @PeerJPreprints applicants recommend referees for their applications, appraisals x4 more likely to be rated excellent / outstanding. hencey many funders only select 1 suggested reviewer from the proposed reviewers
Is this study truly measuring bias? https://t.co/YARo9hBqSD To be biased, the "friendly reviewer" will need to exercise prejudice in favor of one grant compared with another, usually in a way considered to be unfair. The meta-analysis cannot control this!

Interesting, but that's not why I am posting this. The reason? Nature is discussing a paper that was published as a preprint in #PeerJ! Nice... Here's the PeerJ Paper. https://t.co/JZ6OMATeqp
