Racial Biases in the Publication Process: Exploring Expressions and Solutions
这篇客座编辑文章基于大量作者的经验,探讨了出版过程中的种族偏见,发现种族偏见体现在对研究主题和样本的不同反应上,并提出了减少偏见的解决方案。
In this guest editorial, we consider racial biases in the publication processes. Drawing on the experiences of a large network of authors, we conclude that such racial biases express themselves in differential responses to two study attributes that covary with the racial background of authors: research topics (less favorable for research on race and diversity) and research samples (less favorable for samples that deviate more from the predominantly White samples from Northern America and Western countries outside of Northern America). We outline possible solutions to reduce racial biases in the publication process.
