Who will contribute to this? Would institutions sign off on their staff spending time on controversial work that brings them no immediate recognition? Maybe this gets used as a staging area where institutions measure public response and take credit if it looks like it's to their advantage?
- ggggtez 8y agoI agree. The intention appears to be that if an Org funds a biased study, then the funded academic can secretly publish a counter point to themselves. That's the best case, and it means the academic published one paper that they thought was false. So, this is a paper that accepts liars, as long as they promise to tell the truth this time? The worst case is that the Org just cuts out the middle-man and writes the paper themselves and publishes the BS study in this journal too.
