| Topic | The Gender studies hoax - fake papers passing peer review |

Probably to deflect from how questionable it would make these fields look otherwise. Also, the hoax runners said in their announcement that 7 papers were accepted (4 published and 3 pending publication), 7 were still in consideration or being revised for resubmitting when they ended the hoax, and 6 were rejected as fatally flawed. They also received 4 invitations to peer-review other papers as a result of their own "exemplary scholarship." I don't know if that counts as exaggerating the numbers of hoax papers published. creativerealms posted... OpenlyGator posted...It sounds like the bar for accepted submissions needs to be raised if trolly fake subs are getting green lights. Not really. They called off the hoax after a Twitter user who brings attention to weird or questionable studies called attention to the dog park study hoax, which caught the attention of the media. It was only then that people started to question whether or not the fictional author of the study actually existed. And that's only that one specific hoax study. No one from the other journals ever caught on. Including the other six hoaxes that were accepted. --- ... Copied to Clipboard! |
