Peer review
(lemmy.world)
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.
Best part is the reviewers don't get paid for their work, the publishers pocket all of the money they get from selling journals
While charging researchers to publish the paper and the reader for accessing it. If they can get away with it. It's a fucking scam, thus arxiv and others exist.
I've personally had much less respect for global academia ever since I learned how publishing journals can demand so much from researchers and their audience, while providing so little.
