      Our hoaxes provided good evidence of a problem. Our gained expertise in the field provided reason to believe it's a special problem. @HPluckrose

      It is certainly a specific problem. It could in principle turn up in any field which included critical theory approaches with roots in postmodernism but it's tautological to explain we can't find evidence of the problem of theory in journals which don't include theory.

      I just don't know what is wanted. How a control can operate in this context. How would someone who wanted to test a concern that bad science was being published in nutrition proceed except by looking at journals which publish on nutrition?

      You would have operationalize a certain kind of badness that exists at a level that could apply to both fields, embed that badness in papers in a systematic way, send the papers to journals matched for impact (or some such), and see which sample fared worse. But short of that

      "Both fields." Which both fields? You must know that different fields have different scopes and we can only send constructivist identity studies papers to journals which accept constructivist identity studies papers. I don't know how to be clearer on this?

      Sorry, I thought you meant to be raising nutrition studies as an example alternative field to critical studies to which it could be compared or used as a control. So, 'both fields' meant those two.

          You're right that nutrition studies doesn't explicitly rely on constructivist identity claims (a rather big barrel: some constructivist identity claims are perfectly reasonable); but it does rely on statistical construction of (e.g.) cancer causation, which is probably far worse.

          OK. I don't know about this but would people be allowed to look at that or what they have to somehow compare it to problems in gender studies as a control? Couldn't it just be a problem in its own right to be addressed as such?
