Bias in Science Arbitration: An Authorship Viewpoint
Journal Title: Journal of Clinical Immunology & Microbiology - Year 2023, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
The objective of this article was to discuss the potential bias in arbitration of unknown researchers’ scientific work in reputable journals. Publishing an article in a quality international journal is a dream that global graduate students would have. Some institutions would oblige graduate students to publish at least one article in an impactful journal before they can graduate. However, students’ efforts might lead to failure and make them disappointed. The lack of inadequacy of experience in writing scientific papers despite conducting quality research may be a sound reason for failure in timely publication. In addition, however, a major bias in arbitrating unknown authors’ science may be another reason for rejection. The second reason or challenge requires profound contemplation to be overcome. The global science is integrated and thus should be adjudicated in a fair and unbiased global scale regardless of authors’ names and institutions. To conclude, the novel content of a scientific work and not the authors’ or institutions’ reputation, must be of original importance in accepting scientific articles. Education will play pivotal roles in minimizing bias in global science arbitration.
