Abstract: | This paper develops models of quality standards to examine two trends: academic journals increasingly require extensive revisions of submissions, and articles are becoming longer and changing in other ways. Papers are modelled as varying along two quality dimensions: q reflects the importance of the main ideas and r other aspects of quality. A dynamic model in which referees learn social norms for weighting q and r is shown to produce a long, gradual evolution of social norms. |
