For tenure in a science dept, you usually need at least 30 journal papers cited thousands of times. For tenure in most grievance studies depts, you need a handful of papers & one book cited a few dozen times -- plus the right politics. Low standards for quality AND quantity.

This only proves low standards for quantity if you assume that 1 science paper = 1 humanities paper, and, for quality, if you assume that 1 science citation = 1 humanities citation. Neither assumption is correct.
No, I was being generous. Some science papers actually get replicated; almost no humanities papers do.

Not sure what that proves, since almost no humanities papers involve running experiments. (I agree the humanities that DO involve experiments are mostly nonsense.)

Well it’s important for validity, for which Science is not always necessary.

Lol, not replicated. Aren't they pretty much all the same??
