      ... realistically, there's no way they could have done that. Even if they had attempted the same thing with the economics journals, it would immediately (and reasonably) be suggested that they might have a political motivation to not try as hard with the other departments.

      This is true but we also couldn't have submitted a piece on socially constructed identity categories in relation to power dynamics to an economics journal any more than someone can submit an article on economics to an identity studies journal. They have very specific scopes.

      I get that, but the question is whether economics journals have similarly low standards for economics papers, because if that's the case, then the problem might be with all journals, rather than there being a specific issue in the grievance studies departments.

      That is *a* question but it's a different one. Answering it would require some kind of metastudy in which people with expertise in different fields would need to address the specific problems of that field & then this could somehow be measured & compared. Not sure how useful.

      Replying to @HPluckrose @agoonforhire and

      We are not arguing there is a problem in peer review within grievance studies fields in which papers that don't measure up to the standards of evidence for peer review get through anyway. That could be compared between fields which similar standards of evidence for peer review

      Replying to @HPluckrose @agoonforhire and

      On the contrary, we think grievance studies peer review works just fine and its passing things through precisely on the criteria it has set for peer review. You can see this in reviewer comments. We are criticising what that criteria actually is.

      Therefore we submitted papers to a wide range of disciplines which pass papers through on very specific criteria which we outlned in our explanation in Areo in order to show they were doing that and draw attention to the problem.

      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

      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?

      Replying to @agoonforhire @tweetertation and

      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.

      Replying to @HPluckrose @agoonforhire and

      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
