Row-column (RC) association model applied to grant peer review

En este trabajo se proporciona un marco teórico que presenta de manera consistente el proceso de toma de decisiones de un consumidor-inversionista en un ambiente de riesgo e incertidumbre con volatilidad constante. Los procesos de Wiener y Poisson desempeñan un papel esencial en el modelado del riesgo de mercado y la incertidumbre en la política económica. En este contexto, se examinan de manera sistemática diferentes modelos, de equilibrio parcial, que caracterizan el consumo y las proporciones de la riqueza que un consumidor racional asigna a los diferentes activos, disponibles en los mercados financieros (doméstico y extranjero)

"On Hochberg et al.'s, the tragedy of the reviewers commons"

We discuss each of the recommendations made by Hochberg et al. (2009) to prevent the “tragedy of the reviewer commons”. Having scientific journals share a common database of reviewers would be to recreate a bureaucratic organization, where extra-scientific considerations prevailed. Pre-reviewing of papers by colleagues is a widespread practice but raises problems of coordination. Revising manuscripts in line with all reviewers’ recommendations presupposes that recommendations converge, which is acrobatic. Signing an undertaking that authors have taken into accounts all reviewers’ comments is both authoritarian and sterilizing. Sending previous comments with subsequent submissions to other journals amounts to creating a cartel and a single all-encompassing journal, which again is sterilizing. Using young scientists as reviewers is highly risky: they might prove very severe; and if they have not yet published themselves, the recommendation violates the principle of peer review. Asking reviewers to be more severe would only create a crisis in the publishing houses and actually increase reviewers’ workloads. The criticisms of the behavior of authors looking to publish in the best journals are unfair: it is natural for scholars to try to publish in the best journals and not to resign themselves to being second rate. Punishing lazy reviewers would only lower the quality of reports: instead, we favor the idea of paying reviewers “in kind” with, say, complimentary books or papers.Reviewer;Referee;Editor;Publisher;Publishing;Tragedy of the Commons;Hochberg
