The Many Dilemmas of Grant Peer Review
摘要
Peer review is the prime basis for allocating research grants. The systems and principles of grant review were formed in a time with reasonable high success rates and available expert reviewers. Today, in a situation with lower success rates and reviewer fatigue, grant peer review is often heavily criticised. How should distrust, reviewer fatigue, and low success rates be dealt with? This chapter summarises the aims and dilemmas of grant peer review and some advice on how to handle them.
