Editorial Commentary: The Problem With “Multiple Hurdle” Reviewing
指出在论文评审中采用“多重障碍”方式（先判断一部分再评价另一部分）会导致权重失衡，并提出了更优的替代方案。
Waiting to evaluate one section of a paper (e.g., the Methods) until you have decided whether another section (e.g., the front end) passes muster is analogous to “multiple hurdle” systems in personnel selection. This usually creates a suboptimal weighting scheme in which the part of the system that represents the first hurdle is overvalued. I explain why “multiple hurdle” reviewing is counterproductive and offer a superior alternative.
