Matthew Effect in the Proofreading and Irrational Consideration
Feng Liu · Journal of Jianghan University · 2008
Matthew Effect can also be found in the proofreading of the science journals.Its direct reflection in the thinking mode is irrational,which seriously blocks the academic vision of the proofreaders and makes the assessment not to tell the real academic level of the manuscripts being proofread.We think that the effect should be weakened,and the present proofreading system should be reformed.We should keep to the proofreading system that all the manuscripts should be proofread by the two without knowing each other,to the establishment of the dynamic proofreading specialist bank and the data bank of the authors and to the finding and supporting of the excellent young authors.
