The “invisible hand” of peer review: The implications of author-referee networks on peer review in a scholarly journal
作者：
Highlights：
• We estimated network positions of 2232 author/referee couples in an interdisciplinary journal..
• Referees tended to recommend more positively submissions by authors who were closer in their collaboration networks.
• Co-authorship network positions changed after peer review: respective distances decreased more rapidly than could have been expected by chance.
• Findings suggest that peer review could not only reflect but also create and accelerate scientific collaboration patterns.
