military industrial publishing complex

A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
They can do that without a publisher though. My partner reviews papers all the time, and she would continue to do so even if this ridiculous ponzi scheme didn't exist.
it's not as if peer review is some exclusive thing for scientific papers anyways, any open source technology has it as a matter of course (provided it's reasonably popular).
Just look at 3d printers, that technology is almost entirely created by hobbyists who just looked at each others' work, shared what they think works and doesn't work, and make improvements based on that.
