Peer review
(lemmy.world)
A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
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
