Abstract:

[Purposes] This article aims to provide a system theory to support incentive measures for external expert reviewers in scientific journals.[Methods] Follow ing the idea of the Grounded Theory, 16 external expert reviewers of scientific journals are chosen for an interview.The interview data are collected and analytically compared for finding out the factors that affect the peerreview intention of external experts in scientific journals.A fter the details are categorized and the relationship is identified,the peerreview intention model for external experts in scientific journals is constructed.[Findings] Valence factors and cost factors doubly influence the peer-review intention of external experts.The higher the valence is, the stronger the peer-review intention is; and the higher the cost is, the lower the peer-review intention is.The valence factors include academic status, academ ic standards, control sense, enlightening thought, sentimental experience and social contributions; and cost factors include time cost and energy cost.[Conclusions] Scientific journals should improve the peer-review valence such as academ ic status, control sense, etc., and lower the time and energy costs.

摘要：

【目的】为科技期刊激励外审专家措施提供系统理论支撑。【方法】依据扎根理论的思想,选择16名科技期刊外审专家进行访谈,对访谈数据进行整理分析和对比,找到影响科技期刊外审专家审稿意愿的因素,进行归类和关系确定后,构建科技期刊外审专家审稿意愿模型。【结果】外审专家的审稿意愿受到效价性因素和成本性因素的双重影响,效价越高审稿意愿越强,而成本越高审稿意愿越低;效价性因素包括学术地位、学术水平、掌控感、启发思维、情感体验和社会贡献,而成本性因素包括时间成本和精力成本。【结论】科技期刊应提高掌控感、启发思维等审稿效价并降低审稿的时间和精力成本。
