Using the metric of removing duplicate citations, not counting broken links, those with little to no effort shown for those missing links (as in, not even bothering to check the website), and removing anything that didn’t seem to exist, only 64% remained.
- danso 11y agoNot so long ago, we learned that the U.N. is a world-saving organization that can't even pay its own interns. Not because it thought was morally OK to not pay, but because they just didn't want to do the paperwork and rulemaking to offer their interns a pittance. Ignoring the likely possibility that this paper was partly compiled by the kind of work you get from unpaid laborers...I doubt that an institution that can't do the easy, moral thing for its most vulnerable employees is the type of institution that has the patience and attention to detail to double-check its own footnotes.
