Please update to Reviewer Guide to add text about Implicit Bias

Open weimunchan opened this issue 4 years ago • 0 comments

Hello Hannah, Would you be able to update the Reviewer Guide on the Libero Reviewer site? Please add a new paragraph (see text below) at the end of the Writing the Review section (https://reviewer.elifesciences.org/reviewer-guide/writing-the-review). Thanks, Wei Mun

Implicit bias (unconscious associations that affect our actions) has repeatedly been shown to influence decisions in scholarly publishing, especially with respect to author gender, career stage, nationality and other social groupings. To help increase awareness of what implicit bias is and how it might affect the eLife review process we encourage editors and reviewers to consult resources such as Project Implicit and Outsmarting Human Minds.
