|content=Academe. We still haven’t woken up to the destruction of Robert Maxwell, '''Peer Review''', oversight &amp; transparency.

If you still believe that peer review has always been the gold standard in science, you simply didn’t want to look at the history of Permagon Press and its aftermath.

|content=This is a system in which the appearance of fairness and objectivity is masking a collection of inner mechanisms that are far more important, and that are often intensely interpersonal rather than dispassionate and objective.

|content=If you are having trouble with “Trust the Science(tm)”, then we really need to talk about the disaster that is modern '''Peer Review''' and Academic Publication across all technical subjects:

|content=Monthly Reminder Moral: it’s really really really hard to fake a field. Economic Index Numbers like [[CPI]] are not real numbers. They are naturally group-valued *FIELDS* that would be nearly impossible to fake and manipulate. 

The *entire* subject is off. '''Peer review''' won’t help. 🙏

|content=I understand that [[CPI]] is 7.5%. 

Different question. Look at the spread. 

Tell me how we got 7.5%? Do you have any idea what 7.5% means?

Now listen to who repeats this number. 

If they said 7.57348977% ± 0.0000003% you would be laughing. 

We should be laughing, not nodding.

|content=Am I mad? Not in the slightest. As to why scientists can’t afford to look at the truth, the author correctly put his finger on that issue too: Academic research has what I call a “Hotel California” problem. 

The author may have publicly checked out of legacy journal work. But…

|content=Academics have to be quite sensitive. Even the bold of academe don’t want to talk about how we quietly switched from editors holding the reins at a few high quality journals, to [[Peer Review|peer review]] mysteriously taking over as the number of lower tier journals exploded.

Crazy talk… ;-)

|content=Don’t take it from me. Look at the history yourself with these search terms:

[[Peer Review|History of Peer Review in Science]]

Pergamon Press

[[Robert Maxwell]]

Number of academic Journals over time

Cost of Academic journal subscription 

Reviewer compensation 

Tuition over time

Good luck.
