What we owe to reviewers who say the difficult thing
Authors
Abstract
A review that blocks a flawed paper is worth more than ten that wave one through, and our incentive structures acknowledge neither. The analysis draws on a corpus assembled from institutional repositories, preprint servers and publisher metadata feeds, and the full dataset together with the code needed to reproduce every figure is deposited under a permissive licence. Limitations, including coverage gaps in non-English sources, are set out in the discussion.
