Stafford Lightman on the role of the reviewer: it is to ask “is this a good paper”. He makes the claim junior scientists may not be appropriate reviewers because they may just criticize it rather than ask if it is good quality for publication. Hmm

@o_guest@hisotalus Old dude fuckers always whine abt "junior scientist reviewers" whenever they receive the slightest criticism of their latest shitpile. -
Yup. Junior people always get told off for being badly trained or not trained at all by survivors of the system (who by definition either had good training or were lucky enough to pick it up without being kicked out).

There’d be no problems with science had we millennials realized to stay out of it
