Reflecting on reviewing: Applying conflict management research
运用冲突管理研究，探讨如何让审稿过程对领域和个人更具建设性，指出开放心态的讨论能促进高质量决策和学习，但当前实践面临挑战。
Summary Reviewing manuscripts is vital for developing knowledge and promoting the capabilities of researchers. This article uses conflict management research to examine the opportunities and obstacles in making reviewing constructive for the field and for individual researchers. Although dissensus has been thought to reflect how individual biases and organizational dynamics frustrate reviewing, research suggests that when, discussed open‐mindedly, conflicts can stimulate effective reviewing. Research on open‐mindedness provides guidance for how researchers, editors, and referees can voice their conflicts and integrate their ideas to make high quality decisions and learn. However, current practices make it challenging to manage conflict openly and constructively. Fostering open‐minded discussion among researchers, editors, and referees could be an important component in making traditional and new forms of reviewing effective.
