90 Peer Reviewed Papers

[DRBUZZ0]

Lets examine the definition of article-# A nonfictional literary composition that forms an independent part of a publication, as of a newspaper or magazine.

Well see, there's yer problem!

As you probably don't know, composition means: the act of combining parts or elements to form a whole. In this case letters and articles from the parts of the whole (Journal of 9/11 Studies). A short essay, especially one written as an academic exercise.

Um yea... The thing is based on the context I think there's a very reasonable and strongly implied assumption that by "peer reviewed" means published in a reviewed journal like The Journal Science or Nature or the New England Journal of Medicine or the British Medical Journal or the Canadian Journal of Radiology or the Journal of the American Acadamy of Sciences or something.

I guess it's something of a subjective and "fuzzy" definition of what would be legitimate peer review but I think most people would not consider a bunch of other 9/11 CT'ers reviewing it to count. Even if they are his "peers."


And as far as "paper" I think most would tend to think that means a formal and full writeup is published in such a journal and not in the editorial section either. Something that an accademic institution might reasonably cite and such.

I mean if you want to go with the strict technical definition of paper then I could claim all the square "paper" I went through wiping my backside after having a bit too much mexican food as papers on the topic of international relations in the western hemisphere.

Hey! according to SW the JREF is a peer-reviewed journal.

Maybe it means Journal Regarding Educational Facts.

It appears there's a question about whether Swing Dangler's and S. Jones' definition of "peer-reviewed" is a generally accepted one. An honest academic would simply remove all doubts and submit their work to any engineering faculty at any degree-granting institution or to any accreditation body.

Sounds simple to me.

I think the JREF forum is a lot closer to having peer review than JONES. There are enough engineers, scientists, doctors, lawyers, and so on posting here that any engineering, scientific, legal, medical or other claim will be reviewed by someone qualified IN THE FIELD.

This is the point that Swingie and his ilk miss. No matter what your qualifications might be in one field, they don't transfer to another. It's like an auto factory worker putting on starters. He's done it for years; he can slap one of those bad boys in your car in two minutes flat. That's great, but say you have a question about your transmission. Now, Starter Guy might have seen transmissions put in. He might have had lunch with Earl the Transmission Guy a few times. Heck, he might even have gone over to Earl's for barbecue last week. But does that make him qualified to talk about your transmission problem? In Twoofy World it does, because, let's face it, starters and transmissions are both car parts. In the real world, however...
