peer review

https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/14687941221096600 Thought about sharing this one in the science and tech forum, but then I don't think this paper advances the state of human knowledge in any meaningful way. Here is a preview of the article back when it was still on the website:

Already posted this on the ole blog, but thought some of you might find this interesting. http://www.sciencemag.org/content/342/6154/60.full And to save you the trouble of looking, yes, the only Bentham Journal queried fell for the scam. bio0026.doc accepted http://www.benthamscience.com...

How can a member of the public like me find out the impact factor of various journals? Is there a site where I can enter the name of a journal and have it tell me what that journal's impact factor is? I haven't been able to find one. Should there be such a site? Are there legal concerns?

Man, this Heiwa dude is smart. He just made a serial debunker to explain the WTC collapse by comparing it to controlled demolition, an this just by making an promise only a drunk or child would take seriously. I don't know if he did it on purpose but I am sure having a good time reading this...

As many of us have heard time and time again, allegedly the reason the academic community at large doesn't come out on 9/11 and has came to a consensus that it happened the way the "official story" states for 2 reasons: fear or complicity. Truthers will often contend that academia is by and...

Does anyone know where I can find a ranking of the best peer-reviewed science journals? Also, why hasn't Steven Jones had his findings peer-eviewed by whatever journal is considered the best? Where does the journal that Jones had his findings peer-reviewed in rank in terms of how good the...

Something I have noticed lately on the boards, faceboook, real life, and on youtube is a new little dance our truther friends are doing about peer review. It was under a year ago that the "Peer Reviewed" article by Jones and Harrit came out that truthers began to believe that their joo joo had...

In general do journals charge a fee for publication, if an article passes their peer-review and editorial policies?

'Bambang Parmanto, a University of Pittsburgh information scientist, resigned from his editorship at The Open Information Science Journal (TOISCIJ) after reading a story on The Scientist's website yesterday (June 10) that described a hoax paper submission to the journal. Editors at journal...

William Dembski mentions on his blog that he and engineer Robert J. Marks have "Two forthcoming peer-reviewed pro-ID articles in the math/eng literature." Is is really impressive to talk about "intelligent design" in engineering journals? I hope engineers design with intelligence. He then...

This is a clip from The Atheist Experience, a weekly cable access television show out of Austin, Texas. The atheist hosts try to use reason and logic in explaining to the truther the importance of scientific peer review and the results are rather drolly amusing (especially the comments from the...

Most journals today have automatic tracking so you can follow the progress of your manuscript on its way to rejection: --article submitted --action editor assigned --no immediate reject; reviewers identified --reviews sent --reviews in; needs action letter --action letter in; needs editor...

A couple of graduate students in Turkey have published the incredible number of 40 papers in 22 months in high energy physics, many of them in top journals (like the Journal of High Energy Physics). Regrettably, they were all plagiarised, they just cut and pasted big chunks of other papers and...

Do Conspiracy Theorists understand the "Peer" in the term "Peer Review" I ask this question, and I am sure it has been addressed before so bare with me, because I am seeing comments by 9/11 truthers acting with the utmost bravado that we have no idea what "peer review" means and that the...

Some time ago, I submitted a systematic review to a peer reviewed journal. Aspects of it were discussed in this thread: http://www.internationalskeptics.com/forums/showthread.php?t=72476 Well, the reviewer's comments have arrived (just one reviewer, which is odd). The editor has expressed...

Wanted: An open minded skeptic with a background in either math, engineering or hard science. Must not have posted strong opinions about IQ testing here on JREF threads. Looking for someone qualified to peer review the science; someone going in with little to no knowledge of the field; or at...

Not that I've heard any rumors. It's just that his evasive non-answers to peer review sound just like your average politician: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4997804576359751731&q=collapse&hl=en
