| Abstract: |
The article discusses biases that undermine merit-based evaluations in the scientific community, highlighting the challenges faced by women and minority ethnoracial groups. It references "The Matthew Effect," which suggests that well-known scientists receive disproportionate recognition, and "The Matilda Effect," which describes the discrimination against female scientists. Additionally, it introduces the term "The Demarcus Effect" to describe the negative bias faced by scientists with names associated with minority groups, particularly in the context of peer reviews and grant proposals. The authors emphasize the need for greater awareness and action to address these issues within the scientific culture. [Extracted from the article] |
