为了达到对手稿或资助申请的最终评估，评审员必须将提交的异质同行评审标准的优点和缺点转换为质量或优点的单一度量。我认为，这种简化过程是一种新的同行评议偏见的根源。公约数偏差说明了一些同行评审标准的系统优先级如何允许和促进科学出版和资助的问题模式。衡量偏差还凸显了一系列将同行评审实践和机构与科学目标重新调整的结构性策略。
To arrive at their final evaluation of a manuscript or grant proposal, reviewers must convert a submission's strengths and weaknesses for heterogeneous peer review criteria into a single metric of quality or merit. I identify this process of commensuration as the locus for a new kind of peer review bias. Commensuration bias illuminates how the systematic prioritization of some peer review criteria over others permits and facilitates problematic patterns of publication and funding in science. Commensuration bias also foregrounds a range of structural strategies for realigning peer review practices and institutions with the aims of science.
