      #SokalSquared challenge: Assume its not self evident the dog park paper is bad. What would a proper peer review look like? Has anyone done this? @HPluckrose @ConceptualJames @peterboghossian #theydontspeakforme #grievancestudies #academia

      In general, you leave your own view of their argument out of it. "Review the paper the authors wrote, not the paper YOU would have written."

      Thanks Merlin. I’d love to see his method used specifically on the dog paper (or any of the other Sokal square papers )

      The peer review process is very fallible, too, and suspect to all human foibles, ranging from bias to simply missing things that look egregious in retrospect. A discerning editor along with a diverse spectrum of reviewers is a guard against this.

      Ideally I’d love to see one of the writers of these papers demonstrate how they would have reviewed it. I think it’d help bridge the gap between layman and academic. But they’ve already done a tremendous amount of work already.

      I'm still not buying the premise at all that a green-lit peer review is an indictment of the field itself or even that journal. It's one rung among many in scholarly assessment.

      The journal rated it as one of the top 12 papers published in the past 25 years.

      That's a stain on the journal but not on the broader field of women's and gender studies, which is vast. Would you indict epidemiology or nutrition science writ large for publishing sub-par work that doesn't hold up to subsequent scrutiny? https://www.stat.cmu.edu/~ryantibs/journalclub/ioannidis.pdf …

      It’s one of the most well respected and influential journals in the field. Where else are these fields going to inform themselves other than top tier scholarship?

      You can be a well-respected journal & still publish things that are controversial or don't hold up (or don't detect a hoax & fake data). Would you generalize about New England Journal of Medicine in this way even if it's published papers on rare occasion had to be retracted?

      If people could publish bad papers by drawing on a wealth of bad papers in the journal and the reviewers encouraged further badness, absolutely you could and should.

          This isn't about knowledge being updated and errors discovered due to new science tho. That's productive. That's an evidence-based epistemology working. It's about an epistemology which rejects evidence and reason explicitly so cannot be corrected or even right or wrong.
