Game Theoretical Modeling and Studies of Peer-Reviewing Methods

چکیده
We model a family of peer-reviewing processes as game-theoretic problems. This helps to understand elements of existing peer-reviewing procedures, and to predict the impact of new mechanisms. Real world conference peer-reviewing processes are overly complex and here we define and analyze simple versions. Our versions provides a contribution towards formalizing and understanding these complex real world problems. The players of this game are the researchers that participate as authors and reviewers. A funding agency tries to maximize the social value by providing rewards to researchers based on their publications. Equilibria of truthful reviewing in described mechanisms is analyzed experimentally.

The Peer-Reviewing Game
We model a family of peer-reviewing processes as gametheoretic problems. The model helps to understand elements of existing peer-reviewing procedures, and to predict the impact of new mechanisms. The peer-reviewing for evaluation of scientific results submitted to conferences involves complex decision processes of independent participants. Significant tax-payer money is spent by governments for...
متن کاملThe role of Gamification in Knowledge Sharing using Grounded Theory and MAXQDA Qualitative Modeling
Background and Aim: Today, knowledge is essential to the survival and success of any organization. Given that they are the people who create, share and use knowledge, an organization cannot effectively use knowledge unless its employees are willing to share their knowledge and attract knowledge of others. On the other hand, Gamification involves combining the usual mechanisms in the games with ...

متن کاملPeer Pressure in Smoking and its Impact on Social Welfare; A Study Using Agent-based Modeling and Simulation
Many people die each year due to smoking. Social pressures, such as peer pressure, which are manifested in one's interactions with his/her peers, are from very effective factors in people's tendency to smoke. In this research, it was attempted to study and analyze peer pressure in smoking and its impact on some of the welfare indicators including mortality number due to starvation, wealth avera...
