June 25, 2020 — This year’s Peer Review Week (PRW), a yearly event led by academic publishers and societies, as well as other scholarly organizations, is dedicated to “Trust in Peer Review.” During the week of September 21 – 25, participating organizations will highlight the critical role of peer review in research with a week of virtual events and activities.

2020 年 6 月 25 日 — 今年的同行评审周（PRW）是由学术出版商、学会以及其他学术组织发起的年度活动，主题为“信任同行评审”。在 9 月 21 日至 25 日这一周，参与组织将通过一系列虚拟活动和活动，突出同行评审在研究中的关键作用。

The importance of reliable scholarly publications has rarely been as public or pressing as now, with the world in the throes of the COVID-19 pandemic. Maintaining trust in the peer review decision-making process is paramount if we are to solve the world’s most pressing problems. This global, week-long event will shine a light on how the peer review process works and why it helps build trust in research.

在 COVID-19 疫情肆虐的当下，可靠学术出版物的重要性前所未有地受到公众关注。如果我们希望解决世界上最紧迫的问题，就必须维护同行评审决策过程的信任。这个为期一周的全球活动将揭示同行评审过程是如何运作的，以及它是如何帮助建立对研究的信任的。

“Research contributions — on climate change, poverty, disease, or any of the other challenges we face — have an important impact on people’s lives. It’s vital for researchers, the public, and policymakers to know whether and, if so, how the research they’re relying on has been evaluated and tested,” says Phil Hurst of The Royal Society, co-chair of the Peer Review Week steering group.

“科研贡献——无论是气候变化、贫困、疾病，还是我们面临的其他任何挑战——都对人们的生活产生了重要影响。研究人员、公众和政策制定者需要了解他们依赖的研究是否以及如何经过了评估和测试，”皇家学会的菲利普·赫斯特如是说，他是同行评审周指导委员会的联合主席。

“Every year, Peer Review Week puts a spotlight on the essential work that often goes on behind the scenes, yet plays a critical role in ensuring accuracy in the scientific and research process. By drawing attention to the issue of ‘trust’ we hope that this year’s PRW will stimulate discussions and further initiatives that will ultimately lead to strengthening the scientific record,” says Lou Peck of The International Bunch, Phil’s co-chair.

“每年，同行评审周都会将 spotlight 照向那些通常在幕后进行但对确保科学研究过程准确性起着关键作用的工作。通过关注‘信任’这一问题，我们希望今年的同行评审周能够激发讨论和进一步的举措，最终加强科学记录的可靠性。”国际布 unch 的共同主席 Phil 的代表 Lou Peck 如是说。

In this time of uncertainty, ensuring that peer review is trustworthy has never been more urgent. We invite all scholarly and scientific societies, researchers, editors, publishers, libraries, universities, funders, and anyone interested in the advancement of high-quality research to join us during Peer Review Week for this celebration and learning experience.

在不确定性增加的时期，确保同行评审的可信度比以往任何时候都更加紧迫。我们诚邀所有学术和科学学会、研究人员、编辑、出版商、图书馆、大学、资助方以及任何关注高质量研究发展的人士，在同行评审周期间加入我们，共同庆祝并学习。
