>Poor review practices in journals are not limited to the humanities and social sciences. to what extent? surely it's significantly less than that of math and "hard sciences" >I would also suggest that making it through a Ph.D. program in the humanities is incredibly grueling working in a sweatshop is grueling work. when you're in a factory for 12 hours a day what's being worked is your obedience, your self-control. not necessarily strength or intelligence. There may be disagreement about whether the effort needed to hold a job is “minimal”; but usually,in lower-to-middle-level jobs, whatever effort is required is merely that of OBEDIENCE. You sit or stand where you are told to sit or stand and do what you are told to do in the way you are told to do it. The only requirements are a moderate amount of intelligence and, most of all, simple OBEDIENCE.
