The reason why journals exist is because they’re supposed to do filtering of bad papers. Whether they actually do that, of course, is another question. And whether it could be done in a (much) better way than it’s currently done is also an important question for academia.
We do need a rigorous review process. Just accepting substandard papers and mal attribution from a bum duck nowhere “university” is unacceptable.
That being said the current way of monetization and margins are also bad. And we might need higher standards.
As long as academias obsession with „if you didn’t publish there (for example Nature), your paper is not worth much“ is still going on, nothing will change.

They made more sense before the internet, when the transfer of information was not nearly as easy. With that being said, there is not much reason for them to exist anymore.
This system was set up by Ghillaine, Epstein’s child acquisition specialist’s, father.

Oh nice, at a surface glance, that looks like a podcast very similar to Respect the Dead. Thank you for sharing!
Really need more open journal space.
once parasite like this finds a way to attach itself to a host, it is surprisingly hard to get rid off it. it is basically prisoner’s dilemma, if everyone leaves, you all won, but if it is just you who leave, you will lose compared to others. no one wants to be the first to leave and risk losing.
Just like lots more parasitic parts of society that depend on the network effect. Amazon, Facebook, political parties, uber etc etc.

Books can only contain truth.
This is not about books.
What kind of nonsense is this?
Sarcasm. Pretty clear to me.
Read a book. /S
