Bias in the Halls of Science: A Study on the Rejection Rates of Chinese Authors A recent study published in Science Advances reveals a disturbing trend within the scientific community.
Researchers led by Sam Zhang at the University of Vermont analyzed 110,000 manuscripts submitted to top US science journals between 2015 and 2020.
The findings are stark: Chinese authors face significantly higher rejection rates than their North American counterparts, regardless of whether they're based in China or have Chinese surnames working in the US.
