Why can't journals set a bar and flag some of these practices in peer review? It's disillusioning to see that academia seems to face as many of these issues as any other profession or industry. So much productivity is lost due to behavior driven by long standing incentives to benefit institutions, corporations, and established power, rather than incentives that hold people accountable for quality and the efficient acquisition of knowledge. Is it so much different than problems that come up with politicians, police officers, medical doctors, or corporate bad behavior? I think my naivete was that a community dedicated to truth and discovery would somehow be less susceptible to these problems, when in fact, it's just human nature reacting to an environment that can be as unhealthy as any other. At least I can allow myself an occasional fantasy of earning the 30B I'd need to take over Elsevier and turn it into a non-profit interested only affecting positive change.
