Comparison of the peer-review ratings distributions for two methods of editor evaluations across two Special Issue production cycles. The first method involved a 5-point semantic differential scale with labels only at the end points, which was used during the 2020 cycle. The second method involved the holistic editor’s scoring rubric used by the CORD editors at the pilot and full implementation stages of the 2021 production cycle.
