Researchers have examined factors of authors such as sex of author, gender identity, and seniority within the field of behavior analysis to determine if any biases towards a certain group existed. Most recently, Kranak et al. (2020) found that women and new authors are well-represented in the Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis (JABA). However, that analysis included only published manuscripts. Thus, the degree to which these subpopulations are proportionally represented is unknown, because that analysis was unable to determine how often these subpopulations are submitting manuscripts. Therefore, the purpose of the current investigation was to extend Kranak et al. and analyze all accepted and rejected manuscripts submitted to JABA from 2015 – 2019. Results indicated that women and men had nearly identical acceptance rates during this time period, whereas veteran authors' acceptance rate was nearly 2.5 times greater than that of new authors. Implications for publishing, reviewing, and research mentorship practices are discussed.

应用行为分析杂志中接受和拒绝提交的评估：性别和经验

研究人员在行为分析领域检查了作者的因素，例如作者的性别、性别认同和资历，以确定是否存在对某个群体的任何偏见。最近，克拉纳克等人。(2020) 发现女性和新作者在应用行为分析杂志( JABA ) 中有很好的代表性。但是，该分析仅包括已发表的手稿。因此，这些亚群按比例代表的程度是未知的，因为该分析无法确定这些亚群提交手稿的频率。因此，当前调查的目的是扩展 Kranak 等人。并分析提交给JABA 的所有接受和拒绝的手稿从 2015 年到 2019 年。 结果表明，女性和男性在此期间的接受率几乎相同，而资深作者的接受率几乎是新作者的 2.5 倍。讨论了出版、审查和研究指导实践的影响。
