Pier Review

I got a kick out of this.

Just because something is published by the Scientific Media does not mean it has better reproducibility than does work on Phrenology, N Rays or Phlogiston.

I will admit to being partial to vetted work, but have come across published articles that represented a dead end in a research path by virtue of depending on non-conformal matrix operations, treating vectors as scalars and other fundamental oversights.

I am suspect of scientific research by anyone but a true skeptic, and consider any results as being tentative as a matter of course.

Damn. I opened up this thread to make that very joke - but you beat me to it.

Thought the same thing.

Someday words will mean stuff.

While that can be the case, it's not really what the articles about. It's about the proliferation of fake journals run by con-artists who are merely imitating the scientific media...

Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Nah - that literacy thing is overrated.

Just another case showing the superiority of the American education system.

USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA!

caveat: (I know, strange looking word that some people may not understand its meaning.) I'm deducing that the OP is from the US because that is the country they put in their profile.

I don't know about businesses hiring people with resumes padded by crap like this, but every university I know is well aware of the bogus journals and pays no attention to them when hiring faculty except to give negative credit to candidates who list such articles.

Pastafarian?

Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

And I thought I was going to find the best place to park my yacht.

And I thought I was going to find the best place to park my yacht.

On the Chesapeake, Stansbury Yacht Basin is a pretty good choice. Good facilities, walking distance from Martin State Airport ($11 ramp fee, but what the hell).

Driving is a one dimensional activity - a monkey can do it - being proud of your driving abilities is like being proud of being able to put on pants

Pear review is important.
