      I agree with @briandavidearp (& see my other couple tweets about this) —I don't think there's nothing to learn here, but I think it's a poor inference to indict an entire field on the basis of a few accepted junk papers in low-tier journals. 1/2

      For comparison, do a keyword search for "music" in any Frontiers journal. Many people would be shocked by the jibberish that gets published there under the auspices of science 2/2

      Replying to @samuelmehr @boni_bo @briandavidearp

      It would be wrong to say that "the scientific study of music is broken" on the basis of those papers — they're just not representative of the field, and while it would be nice if they weren't published, we've got other things to do than police low tier journals 2.5/2

      I think this is basically right, but one thing that @HPluckrose et al. made a point of doing was focusing on the journals that are considered pretty top-tier for gender studies (e.g., Hypatia is pretty well-regarded & considered the premier feminist philosophy journal)

          Interesting — I'm traveling today and have been reading reactions to this in fits and spurts, but I've seen a few tweeps saying things like "well, they were rejected from most of the 1st rate journals in the field". maybe that's not accurate?

          Some of the earlier papers they submitted were rejected from top-tier journals; but toward the middle of their experiment (once they got the hang of things) they started getting papers in very well respected journals, including top ones

          Oh I see, good to know. I mean, still doesn't justify a field-wide inference w/o a control, and especially in the face of all the evidence (some of which you cited in your thread) that comparably nonsensical crap gets into Science! and Nature! :/ (albeit differently nonsensical)

          I agree, but "differently nonsensical" is an understatement. How many fake studies on Quantum Electronics would you be able to produce in 4 months and how many would pass peer review? Personality? Genomics? Sociology (ps: top sociology journals rejected all of their papers).

          Replying to @boni_bo @samuelmehr and

          I agree that there is a lot of bad studies in the Cognitive Sciences (lot of variation in subfield quality as well). But I don't think the success rate per amount of fake studies produced in the same amount of time trying to master the respective discipline would be the same.
