@Hyolobrika @academicchatter #Academic #journals were (or should) be simple media to distribute #research findings sorted into topics. However, they have turned into popularity and #privilege clubs ("coolest" paper that makes most "#impact" and recently those who can afford the outrageous APCs). "#PeerReview"/door keeping can be used both, for quality control, or to maintain and build privilege.
Ranting on peer review is like hating a hammer because you can also kill with it.
Friendly reminder: As academia is structured so heavily towards negative feedback and criticism, it's important to celebrate all your achievements, however minor 🎅
Stanford University is investigating its president for manipulating images in their papers.
"...these cases aren’t rare" says @retractionwatch @armarcus @ivanoransky
"A retraction for image manipulation happens about once every other day"
That amount is likely the tip of the iceberg given that image fraud is usually discovered by unpaid research sleuths, not publishers.
