Massive status bias in peer review.
534 reviewers randomized to review the same paper revealing the low status, high status, or neither author. 65% reject low status, 23% reject high status.
Amazing work by Juergen Huber and colleagues. #prc9

Or, look at it another way. If the reviewers knew only the low status author, just 2% said to accept without revisions. If the reviewers knew only the high status author, almost 21% said to accept without revisions.
I thought it was painful to have 25 reviewers for one of my papers. My condolences to these authors for having to read the comments from 534.
