What should we do?
-
About avoiding bias in the new system? I'm not a peer review expert. Research the effects of different systems on bias and then then think.
-
It seems to me, that any new system should seek to be an environment in which biases based on people's names, so gender and race, are less
-
pronounced. The only way I see that happening is to use evidence-based evaluation of different systems.
-
Because the open in open science is also about promoting diversity. Opening science up to more authors who are just as capable but have been
-
less able to (easily) publish than people with privileged gender and ethnic group.
-
This work shouldn't be expected of URMs though, this is something all of us need to work on.
-
Thanks for asking for my opinion on what we should do. Many other voices have expressed their worries on this and issue too.
