After Sense about Science shared the results of its peer review survey last month (which looked at <span class=\"MsoHyperlink\" style=\"color:#0563c1\"><span style=\"text-decoration:underline\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.editage.com\/insights\/quality-and-trust-in-peer-review-an-overview-of-sense-about-science-2019-survey\/\" style=\"color:#0563c1; text-decoration:underline\">peer review from the lenses of trust and quality<\/a><\/span><\/span>), Publons this month released the results of its grant peer review survey. Titled <span class=\"MsoHyperlink\" style=\"color:#0563c1\"><span style=\"text-decoration:underline\"><a href=\"https:\/\/publons.com\/community\/gspr\/grant-review\" style=\"color:#0563c1; text-decoration:underline\">Grant Review in Focus<\/a><\/span><\/span>, the survey sought to gain vital contributor perspectives on the grant review system. The survey is based on interviews with about 4,700 peer reviewers registered with Publons, with the majority based in Europe. Additionally, the survey sought insights from several leading research funders that the peer reviewers have collaborated with.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:.0001pt; text-align:justify; margin:0in 0in 8pt\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif\">The grant peer review system is important for all stakeholders. It helps funders arrive at a judicious decision, thus enabling optimized funding. This is especially important considering the current scenario where several countries are imposing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.editage.com\/insights\/trump-administration-demands-major-cuts-in-science-funding-yet-again\/\" style=\"color:#0563c1; text-decoration:underline\">cuts on research funds<\/a>. For researchers, gaining grants is especially critical as grants are treated as a metric for performance evaluation and career progression. On the other hand, for reviewers, apart from providing an opportunity to \u201cgive back to science,\u201d grant peer reviews help ensure that the right science is getting funded.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:.0001pt; text-align:justify; margin:0in 0in 8pt\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif\">Keeping this in mind, let us have a look at the key results from the survey.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify; margin: 0in 0in 8pt;\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif\">Researchers overall believe in the system. A majority (78%) agreed that it is the best prevailing method for ensuring the right research is funded. In the words of one of the (anonymous) respondents, \u201c<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/publons.com\/community\/gspr\/grant-review\" style=\"color:#0563c1; text-decoration:underline\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif\">I have found it [the system] to be rewarding, valuable, and important<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif\">.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify; margin: 0in 0in 8pt;\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif\">The grant process is extremely competitive, with only 10-25% applications having received funding. Additionally, this rate is declining, reflecting the global trend of reduced spending on research.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify; margin: 0in 0in 8pt;\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif\">As is the case with the manuscript review process, the grant review process is time-intensive. Funders spent between two and six hours on average looking for grant peer reviewers. The average number of reviewers invited to secure a confirmation was three, that is, two-thirds of the effort was spent without result. On the review side, reviewers spent about 10 days of the year reviewing grant applications.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify; margin: 0in 0in 8pt;\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif\">Over half (56%) of the respondents reported being dissatisfied with the recognition they receive. As one respondent <a href=\"https:\/\/publons.com\/community\/gspr\/grant-review\" style=\"color:#0563c1; text-decoration:underline\">complained<\/a>, \u201cThe thank you mail [the most common method of acknowledgment] is typically computer-generated\u2026 <span class=\"MsoHyperlink\" style=\"color:#0563c1\"><span style=\"text-decoration:underline\"><span style=\"text-decoration:none\"><span style=\"text-underline:none\">the granting organization could not care less<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify; margin: 0in 0in 8pt;\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif\">Community contribution is a big reason for doing grant reviews. While the primary reason for doing grant reviews is that it is a part of the job of researchers, a close second was the need to give back to the field.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:.0001pt; text-align:justify; margin:0in 0in 8pt\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif\">The survey re-affirms some of the benefits of the grant review system and provides insights on addressing some of the grievances with the system. However, it is important to note that while the pool of researchers interviewed was sizeable, it was a restricted pool, limited to Publons users. Thus, there may be some bias in the results. As Anna Severin, a sociologist at the University of Bern, Switzerland studying peer review, pointed out, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/d41586-019-03105-2\" style=\"color:#0563c1; text-decoration:underline\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif\">a \u201cWestern bias\u201d is perceptible among the respondents<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif\">: about 50% were from Europe and only 3% from China.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:.0001pt; text-align:justify; margin:0in 0in 8pt\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif\">Publons has acknowledged that the results may not be representative of scientists across the world. Nevertheless, the survey adds significantly to our understanding of and growing conversations around the peer review system.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:.0001pt; text-align:justify; margin:0in 0in 8pt\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><b><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif\">Related reading:<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify; margin: 0in 0in 8pt;\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><span class=\"MsoHyperlink\" style=\"color:#0563c1\"><span style=\"text-decoration:underline\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.editage.com\/insights\/top-tips-for-researchers-on-how-to-avoid-grant-proposal-rejection\/\" style=\"color:#0563c1; text-decoration:underline\">Top tips for researchers on how to avoid grant proposal rejection<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify; margin: 0in 0in 8pt;\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><span class=\"MsoHyperlink\" style=\"color:#0563c1\"><span style=\"text-decoration:underline\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.editage.com\/insights\/9-core-parts-every-grant-proposal-must-contain\/\" style=\"color:#0563c1; text-decoration:underline\">9 Core parts every grant proposal must contain<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify; margin: 0in 0in 8pt;\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><span class=\"MsoHyperlink\" style=\"color:#0563c1\"><span style=\"text-decoration:underline\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.editage.com\/insights\/peer-reviewers-tell-all-a-qa-with-expert-reviewers\/\" style=\"color:#0563c1; text-decoration:underline\">Peer reviewers tell all: A Q&amp;A with expert reviewers<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:.0001pt; text-align:justify; margin:0in 0in 8pt\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><b><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif\">References:<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify; margin: 0in 0in 8pt;\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><span class=\"MsoHyperlink\" style=\"color:#0563c1\"><span style=\"text-decoration:underline\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif\"><a href=\"https:\/\/publons.com\/community\/gspr\/grant-review\" style=\"color:#0563c1; text-decoration:underline\">Grant Review in Focus [Global State of Peer Review Series]<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify; margin: 0in 0in 8pt;\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><span class=\"MsoHyperlink\" style=\"color:#0563c1\"><span style=\"text-decoration:underline\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/d41586-019-03105-2\" style=\"color:#0563c1; text-decoration:underline\">Thousands of grant peer reviewers share concerns in global survey<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Peer Review Week 2019 may be over, but peer review continues to be in focus.
