论文摘要
一周中发生事件的特定日子似乎会带来意外的后果。例如,将论文提交给同行评审期刊的一周中的一天与该论文是否被接受有关。使用计量经济学分析(基于未注明日期和面板结构化数据的日志和半log的混合),我们发现在特定工作日提交给某些同行审查期刊的论文要比其他工作日提交了更多的论文,而在周末提交的论文则更少。检查了季节性效果,地理信息以及随着时间的推移的潜在变化。这一发现取决于大型(178 000)和可靠的样本。被调查的期刊广泛认可(自然,细胞,PLOS ONE和PHYSICA A)。一周中的一天的效果在提交接受论文的效果应引起许多研究人员,编辑和出版商,也许对经理和心理学家也是如此。
The particular day of the week when an event occurs seems to have unexpected consequences. For example, the day of the week when a paper is submitted to a peer reviewed journal correlates with whether that paper is accepted. Using an econometric analysis (a mix of log-log and semi-log based on undated and panel structured data) we find that more papers are submitted to certain peer review journals on particular weekdays than others, with fewer papers being submitted on weekends. Seasonal effects, geographical information as well as potential changes over time are examined. This finding rests on a large (178 000) and reliable sample; the journals polled are broadly recognized (Nature, Cell, PLOS ONE and Physica A). Day of the week effect in the submission of accepted papers should be of interest to many researchers, editors and publishers, and perhaps also to managers and psychologists.
