      The mistake is thinking this is a discovery. Even in STEM we understand the literature is heavily contaminated by bullshit. The buffoons here are the hoaxers who think we don’t understand this or this is surprising to anyone who understands academic publishing.pic.twitter.com/MZCjH0svga

      We fully understand there are predatory publishers with low standards of peer review. We understand shoddy work gets done, not every PhD thesis is nobel-worthy. It’s not an excuse to dismiss entire fields - I could find you as much shitty biology in bogus pay for play journals.

      Except that the journals these papers were published in are not predatory journals but first quartile journals with reasonably high impact factors... And that some reviewers gave very positive feedback of articles that are essentially devoid of any sense...

      Yep, and I spent half my time in grad school refuting a paper published in Nature Medicine? So what? Impact factor is no protection from lazy peer review.

      It of course isn't, but do you think a third (or even worse, half ? almost two thirds ? who knows how many more would have been published had the hoax not been revealed...) of absolute rubbish papers (I'm not talking about weak papers with methodological flaws, predictable bias,

      Also, the fabricated data. As the article I Tweeted above noted, a far bigger percentage of the papers with fabricated data were ultimately published than those without because reviewers sometimes deem the dataset to be worth publishing even if the paper is a bit dodgy.

      One other thing: Peer review is not very good at detecting fabricated data; it never has been. For better and worse, academic publishing is based, to a significant extent, an trust that the authors haven't just made shit up.

          Exactly! So if some pointy-headed hoaxster tricks some peer reviewers that only shows that they can trick well-meaning people, not that all the research is fraud.
