Journal of 9/11 Studies

[R.Mackey]

Many of the regular contributors here feel that Bentham Open Access is a "vanity journal", even though I personally explained the concept of an "open access journal" to them at least 4-5 different times.

Just to eliminate any potential confusion, here's an excerpt from a book titled "How to Find Information: A guide for researchers, Second Edition" (Sally Rumsey, pg. 94):

Just to eliminate any potential confusion between Dr. Jones's paper and an actual peer-reviewed paper, months ago I personally wrote to the publisher, and after he refused to forward my questions, to the editor-in-chief. The paper was never peer-reviewed. The publisher handled it all himself, and when presented with obvious flaws in the paper, refused to comment, instead forwarding my complaints to Dr. Jones himself and ultimately told me I should submit a competing paper. This is the point at which I went to the editor-in-chief. He was unable to get a list of reviewers, or reviewer comments, from the publisher.

I let it drop there. The thread is here on the Forum. The paper is a fraud. Thanks for trying.

I agree with them that your papers are worthy of a better venue.

Greg, ... If anybody deserves both the respect of "truthers" and "debunkers" it is you.

In light of recent marginalization and censorship (by banning) at the stj911 forum, I can't help but wonder if protecting intellectual turf (especially against your work) has more to do with this.

What we have here is a demonstration of good science, being carried out by its own members, excluded without justification. Draw your own conclusions. In contrast, while I haven't always agreed with your work, I respect and even support it. I've even learned from it.

I might not agree with all of your opinions or findings, Greg, but you are by far his superior.

GU, while I may not agree with your conclusions, your papers are several cuts above most of the rest of the Truth* movement and certainly worthy of discussion. I hope they find a home somewhere.

You and your work deserve better from them.

I think Gregory deserves better...
I tend to enjoy most of the threads involving Gregory's work....

Darn that insidious "consensus thinking" in the JREF forum.

Seriously, Gregory, I don't know what the best venue might be, or how to reach it. I hope others' suggestions will prove helpful. Metamars' idea has some merit, I think, and should be seriously considered. Combining these various topics into a collaborative article about the collapse dynamics aimed at the general educated public (Scientific American style) might also be worth thinking about.

Respectfully,
Myriad

deep44, they can CLAIM whatever sort of good process they want, but people have already said that they were asked to be peer reviewers in fields that they have no expertise in by that family of journals.

I have an e-mail into Kevin Ryan asking if papers refuting already published articles will be considered. Somehow I don't think so.

In the past few days, I've been banned at TruthAction and 911Blogger has put me on moderation and won't publish my blog posts or comments.

To me it looks like they are circling the wagons.

What journal would possibly publish the type of stuff I've been working on?

I got banned at TruthAction and am moderated at 911Blogger as well. Go figure.

Galileo:

Being banned by a forum - any forum - ain't so bad!

Galileo himself, (your namesake!), was "banned" from the Catholic "forum" even though he was correct in his thinking!

It shows you are able to think outside the box imposed by the moderators...

Pathetic, even for you Frank!

Affirming the consequent. Galileo was imprisoned for criticising the dogma of the Catholic church. Jonathan King was imprisoned too, although in his case it was for having sex with teenage boys. Does that mean that Jonathan King should also be hailed as a martyr of the Enlightenment?
