This is a common problem with Science Daily. They basically copy and paste press releases from universities with all the bullshit hype intact. Every article has the same format:
Scientists discover mind-blowing new theory that will blow your mind and cure cancer, AIDS, and global warming!!!!
- learnalist 17y agoFurther to this point. I have a few friends in different fields of research and in the biotech field. I sent them a link from sciencedaily, after thanking me for the link. They politely informed me that sciencedaily is not a worth while publication and therefore deem the information from it not so exciting / important. You could say they are being snobbish maybe even elitist. But as mentioned in the comments, this is not the first time a post to there has had words like "misleading" etc. What if we had a peer review, prestigious website where you could submit your articles for publishing in the IT world? Equally, does "snobbishness" exist already in peer review sites for the IT world already?
