Really embarrassing also for the journals that published the papers – and which are as guilty. They take ridiculously massive amounts of money to publish articles (publication cost for one article easily surpasses the cost of a high-end business laptop), and they don’t even check them properly?
You have a lot of shit in the journals. I read about autism for example. I can’t count how many article with restrain and basic human right abuse are published. And, it continues in 2024.
It’s seriously depressing to see this BS and other pseudo-scientific text published.
Why would they check them properly? These are for profit organizations. Their only job is to generate profit, not check articles for errors. The Lancet Journal is owned by a 20 billion dollar corporation.
And shows how scientists are either idiots or money-seekers.
No.
They’re working in a system which incentivises fraud. Those who successfully commit fraud are a drain on everyone else, as are the administrators, publishers and corporations who create the perverse incentives.

Journals are the cancer of the science world
Why would they? They get the money. I feel like that system is just prime corruption/malpractice and leads to crap like this.
It’s for profit all the way through

Oh, they don’t pay the peer reviewers. That would cut their profit margins waaaay too much.
