Scatterplot and linear regression fit of SM versus RE data with gray area representing 95% confidence intervals (2009–2012).
Fig 3.
Reviewer Seniority Scatterplots of SM versus RE.
Scatterplot and linear fit of raw SM versus RE scoring data of all evaluations by junior reviewers (in red) and by senior reviewers (in blue). The shaded area represents 95% confidence interval.
