Use of ChatGPT to explore gender and geographic disparities in scientific peer review
ABSTRACT
This study used ChatGPT 4.0 to assess sentiment and politeness in 291 peer review reports across nine general medical journals. While no gender-based differences were found, notable regional disparities were observed, with articles from the Middle East, Latin America, and Africa receiving significantly lower scores. These findings underscore broader issues of inclusivity in peer review processes, particularly for researchers from regions facing systemic challenges in academic publishing.
