It's a numbers game.
Journal 4 increments prestige, Scientist X increments prestige, but nothing true or good is actually gained.
Science.
Did peer F get murdered for indicating they were going to reject the paper? ๐๐ง
peer F accepted the paper
FTo doubt
NOT science. At all. That's publication and clout. Two things science distinctly is NOT, but needs because information must still disseminate in some way.
He typed using technology that wouldn't exist but for Science.
I believe in the scientific method. I believe in peer review.
I just don't like that scientific journals have become so commodified that a lesser journal would accept volumes of bad science and bad review in order to boost its rankings whilst boosting the prestige of the scientist who is measured on the quantity of their work and not the quality.
Entire paper mills exist purely for this reason, and it's a scourge on the scientific community.
Fair. TY for clarifying
Yeah that wasn't at all the impression I got from their first comment
