How Should Peer‐review Panels Behave?
针对英国研究卓越框架（REF）2014中的同行评审小组，提出一种基于贝叶斯更新概念的方法，帮助小组合理分配出版物和引用指标的权重，以更准确地评估大学研究质量。
Many governments wish to assess the quality of their universities. A prominent example is the UK's new Research Excellence Framework (REF) 2014. In the REF, peer‐review panels will be provided with information on publications and citations. This article suggests a way in which panels could choose the weights to attach to these two indicators. The analysis draws in an intuitive way on the concept of Bayesian updating (where citations gradually reveal information about the initially imperfectly observed importance of the research). Our study should not be interpreted as the argument that only mechanistic measures ought to be used in a REF.
