Nice article.
Your description of the completely apathetic chain of actors, starting with the journal editors, was depressing to read.
You did not explicitly comment on it, but the situation also implies that even researchers don't really care about research? Like no advisers, or employers or colleagues are reading through these papers?
It feels like more people should have noticed that these journals will print garbage and having an article in a journal like this would not be a positive signal anymore. Maybe it just takes a while?
- mike_hearn 1mo agoYeah, nobody is reading these journals. They all have dozens of "editors" but it's just CV manipulation. People are noticing, that's why academic credibility is in free fall but it's all tied up with ideology. Academia purged everyone not on the far left a long time ago, so the left find it useful to promote universities as still having the highest rigour.
