Other fields can certainly have problems.Someone just submitted a paper to us looking at problems within journals which publish medical research claiming that the study design doesn't always meet the required standards for testing paediatric medication.This is a different problem

They could test this by sending research which falls short of this to a number of them and showing that this happens. They couldn't send it to a gender studies journal. Nor would it make any sense to do that because the problem of misleading medical data is not comparable.
-
Nor would it be reasonable to criticise them for focusing solely on potentially dangerous medicine rather than extending their critique to radical constructivism in identity studies. They're medical scientists. They're allowed to worry about their own field.

So, while any given academic discipline may have its own publication issues, you're just trying to demonstrate what they are for the 'grievance studies' disciplines?
-
Exactly! Grievance studies can be requiring dubious epistemological & ethical approaches AND social science can be having a replication problem AND medicine could have a problem with study design AND the sugar industry could be influencing science journals to condemn fat.
-
Maybe it would be useful to compare all of these in some kind of metastudy and conclude that one field has the most problems with knowledge production but I'm not convinced a competition is needed. They'd need to be separated again to deal with the specific problems in each field
