摘要：

【目的】 引入故障模式影响及危害性分析(Failure Mode Effects and Criticality Analysis,FMECA)方法分析同行评议的可靠性,为编辑部提高同行评议质量并科学分析其可靠性提供策略建议和参考方法。【方法】 对一般同行评议进行系统定义和划分,结合其特点对工程领域常用的可靠性分析方法 FMECA 进行适用性改进,并用此方法分析同行评议系统。【结果】 找不到合适的审稿人、审稿时间长、审稿意见不准确、审稿意见不公平、审稿人意见不一致及录用决定错误是危害性较高的故障模式,应在实际工作中对其特别关注。【结论】 为了降低故障模式的危害,可以考虑根据实施难度和成本,有选择地降低故障发生概率、严酷度等级或故障检测的难度。此外,应重视编辑部数字化、审稿人遴选及对同行评议过程的各项评价。

Abstract:

[Purposes] This paper introduces the FMECA method to analyze the reliability of peer review, and provides strategic advice and reference method for the editorial department to improve the quality of peer review and scientifically analyze the reliability of peer review. [Methods] We systematically defined and divided the general peer review, combined the characteristics of peer review to improve the applicability of the commonly used reliability analysis method FMECA in the engineering field, and used this method to analyze the peer review system. [Findings] Failure to find suitable reviewers, long review time, inaccurate review comments, unfair review comments, inconsistent views of reviewers, and incorrect accepting decisions are highly hazardous failure modes, which should be given special attention to. [Conclusions] In order to reduce the harmfulness of failure modes, it can be considered to selectively reduce the probability of occurrence of failures, the level of severity, or the difficulty of failure detection according to the difficulty of implementation and the cost. In addition, the editorial department digitization, reviewer's selection, and evaluation of the peer review process should all be taken seriously.
