Reproducibility of peer review in clinical neuroscience. Is agreement between reviewers any greater than would be expected by chance alone? by Rothwell, P, Martyn, C

“…For each conference, analysis of variance of the scores given to abstracts revealed that differences between individual abstracts accounted for only 10-20% of the total variance of the scores. Thus, although recommendations made by reviewers have considerable influence on the fate of both papers submitted to journals and abstracts submitted to conferences, agreement between reviewers in clinical neuroscience was little greater than would be expected by chance alone.…”
