** Bias in peer review
------------------------------------------------------------
A recent survey in which we asked COPE members to vote on the diversity, equity and inclusion topics they would like to discuss, bias in peer review was voted the topic of most interest.
The explicit and implicit biases, or conscious and unconscious biases, of editors and peer reviewers could prejudice which manuscripts are reviewed or ultimately accepted for publication. With the ultimate goal of eliminating bias in peer review, we hope you will share during the COPE Forum some of the practical steps you are taking to reduce bias.
* How does your publication/organisation attempt to manage the effects of bias in peer review?
* How is your publication/organisation working to invite a more diverse range of editors and peer reviewers?
* Does your publication/organisation ask peer reviewers to ensure not only that the correct references are cited but also that the references reflect a diverse range of authors?
Whether or not you plan to attend the Forum, please add your comments to the discussion.
