      I know that Hypatia is generally well-regarded; I don't know about the others, so I don't have a basis for comparing degree of reputability. But, my goodness, yes, I see shoddy research published by authors with a preferred conclusion published in medicine *all the time*. As for

      ... whether they are amateurs: they will often have 2 learn a little about statistics first, or collaborate with someone who can run some of the basic tests; but as I wrote in my thread, the standard way of using stats in medicine & psychology produces loads of type 1 errors ..

      ... as 4 Hypatia, however, I take it 1 of co-authors is professional philosopher, so that wouldn't be an amateur. For other journals, if they had novel quantitative methods you had to first learn (to the level of a typical NHST user), might've taken u a bit longer, but not much

      ... anyway, I already said in my original tweet that there *may* be an asymmetry in terms of average epistemological rigor required to publish in a top journal in gender studies vs. medicine, but your hoax doesn't show that. Just for a few examples, here is a paper in a ...

      It's not a secret. They're publishing things saying we need to get beyond evidence and reason and publishing pieces consistent with that criteria. It's not bad papers sneaking through a system which claims to be evidence-based. Its a system which doesn't claim to be.

      This is what we are pointing out. We can't compare this to science unless science journals are also claiming that knowledge rooted in science and reason are masculinist & imperialist constructs & publishing papers based on positional experience as a neglected epistemology.

      This is possibly the crucial difference. Science journals may do a bad job of upholding epistomelogical standards. Many disciplines may need to reconsider common practices. But at least science journals aim for an ideal of objectivity, even if it is more honoured in the breach.

      There is certainly a difference between succeeding in cheating a system which aims at objectivity and successfully getting a paper which denied objectivity into a system which is just fine with that. The first is inadequate checking. The second is explicit use of bad epistemology

      I also suspect that the general ideological thrust of the bad scholarship you are lambasting is fairly predictable, whereas, while there may well be some terrible papers published in econ & pysch fields, they are probably more ideologically diverse than those published in Hypatia

      Yes, economists will know the specialties within their field and some may think a speciality has some specific knowledge production problems. They could address those. This wouldn't indicate that they think its the only problem that exists or that it cld be tested elsewhere.

      OK. I was trying to offer a narrow critique about what I took to be one of ur and ur co-authors' primary claims re: the sort of inference one could reasonably draw from your hoax. If I misunderstood what you were claiming in that regard, then I am sorry for all the spilled ink!

          I think you are seeing extra claims that aren't there. We thought to defend against being misunderstood to say all scholarship is bad or all scholarship into identity is bad. The opposite didn't occur to us - ppl thinking we were claiming it to be the only problem in scholarship.

          We are often accused of thinking it is the biggest problem in the world but that will be because it is the problem we are interested in. We all, in one way or another, look at truth claims and at liberal ethics. We criticised religion previously because of this interest.

          We defend focusing on this problem rather than say climate change or the antibiotic crisis or even the Trump administration (tho we do do a fair bit of the last) because we know about this problem & addressing it will strengthen epistemology & ethics on the left where we are.
