Using psychology professors as participants, the present study investigates how publications in low-impact psychology journals affect evaluations of a hypothetical tenure-track psychology job applicant. Are "weak" publications treated as evidence for or against a candidate's ability? Two experiments revealed that an applicant was rated as stronger when several weak publications were added to several strong ones and was rated as weaker when the weak publications were removed. A third experiment showed that the additional weak publications were not merely viewed as a signal of additional strong publications in the future; instead, the weak publications themselves appear to be valued. In a fourth and final experiment, we found that adding a greater number of weak publications also strengthened the applicant, but not more so than adding just a few. The study further suggests that the weak publications may signal ability, as applicants with added weak publications were rated as both more hardworking and more likely to generate innovative research ideas. Advice for tenure-track psychology applicants: Do not hesitate to publish in even the weakest journals, as long as it does not keep you from publishing in strong journals. Implications of the market rewarding publications in low-impact journals are discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2019 APA, all rights reserved).

影响力较小的期刊上的出版物对简历有帮助还是不利?

以心理学教授为参与者,本研究调查了低影响心理学期刊上的出版物如何影响对假设终身制心理学职位求职者的评估。是否将“弱”出版物视为候选人能力的证据?两项实验显示,将几个弱出版物添加到多个强出版物中时,申请人的评分为强,而当弱出版物被删除时,申请人被评为较弱。第三个实验表明,增加的弱势出版物不仅被视为未来还会增加的强势出版物的信号。相反,疲软的出版物本身似乎受到重视。在第四个也是最后一个实验中,我们发现添加大量弱出版物也可以增强申请人的实力,但仅添加几个就可以了。这项研究进一步表明,弱势的出版物可能暗示了能力,因为添加弱势出版物的申请人被认为既更加努力,又更有可能产生创新的研究思想。终身制心理学申请人的建议:即使不影响最弱的期刊,也不要犹豫,只要它不会阻止您发表强期刊。讨论了影响力小的期刊对市场奖励出版物的影响。(PsycINFO数据库记录(c)2019 APA,保留所有权利)。只要不影响最强的期刊,就不要犹豫,即使在最弱的期刊上发表。讨论了影响力小的期刊对市场奖励出版物的影响。(PsycINFO数据库记录(c)2019 APA,保留所有权利)。只要不影响最强的期刊,就不要犹豫,即使在最弱的期刊上发表。讨论了影响力小的期刊对市场奖励出版物的影响。(PsycINFO数据库记录(c)2019 APA,保留所有权利)。
