Do Peer Reviews Predict Impact? Evidence from the American Sociological Review, 1978 to 1982

Abstract: The authors investigate how well peer reviews of articles published in the journal American Sociological Review between 1978 and 1982 predict the articles' citation impact in the following 32 years. The authors find no evidence of a relationship between review outcomes and citation impact at any time after publication, even when citations are normalized by subfield. Qualitative analysis of the review texts rules out the interpretation that reviewers focused on potential impact but failed to predict it. Instead… Show more

“…These subfields can be concerned by different citation rates, why Bornmann, Marx, and Barth (2013) propose to consider these differences in research evaluation by calculating subfield-normalized citation rates (see Narin, 1987). In recent years, subfield-normalized citation rates have been calculated based on the following monodisciplinary classification systems: Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) (Boyack, 2004), Physics and Astronomy Classification Scheme (PACS) (Radicchi & Castellano, 2011), sections of the American Sociological Association (ASA) (Teplitskiy & Bakanic, 2016), and Journal of Economic Literature (JEL) codes (Bornmann & Wohlrabe, 2019).…”

“…В свою очередь, Teplitskiy и Bakanic [61] также рассматривают оценку ценности документов вне всякой связи с использованием. Вопрос об использовании документов, признаваемых ценными, даже не поднимается; при этом оценка «ценности» осуществляется в данной статье экспертамивне связи с использованием, априорно.…”

“…сноски 3 и 12) 22 . Однако описание понимания ценности, альтернативное исповедуемому в данном эссе, в статье Teplitskiy и Bakanic [61] как раз присутствует, приведены и необходимые ссылки. По мнению Teplitskiy и Bakanic, «истинная ценность может быть многомерным понятием» [61, p. 1] и, в рамках этого понимания, по их мнению, «воздействие» ("impact"; в другом месте -«заявляемое потенциальное воздействие» [61, p. 1]) является аспектом ценности научного документа [Там же].…”
