Science Vigilante Calls Out Bogus Results in Prestigious Journals
Vigilante is the wrong term on so many levels for her work. For starters it implies illegality, slipshod at best due process, and a proper authority. Elisabeth Bik is essentially being a good citizen - doing exactly what she should as a reader calling out improprieties.I wish her luck in her endeavor and note that she proves what actual journals could do to stay relevant as a service when true distribution costs aren't there - vetting the data and giving a reason to pay for the data already peer reviewed by others.
