选项 A、fellows
B、peers
C、members
D、colleagues
答案B
解析 词汇辨析题。本句讲的是科学工作者的论文被引用，所缺动词应为"引用论文"的主动执行者，按常识推断，引用论文的通常是该论文作者的同行业人。因此选peer，意为：a person who has equal standing with another or others，as in rank，class，or age，即"同辈，同等的人"。fellow意为"人，家伙，伙伴"；member意为"成员，会员"，这两个词均不符合题意。colleague意为"同事，同僚"，它用在这里，对引用论文的人局限的范围太小，也不符题意。
