What does your limited undergraduate knowledge have to do with anything? It's really just one step away from a high schooler citing their biology homework as a source of authority.
You also seem to think that proofreading a paper increases the chances that it's correct which (in my opinion) shreds your credibility.
- ethanwillis 6y agoTo claim that an undergraduate degree is just one step away from highschool biology homework is disingenuous. "Proofreading" a paper does, in some amount, increase the chances that it's correct. It's called peer review.
- singemonkey 6y agoProofreading a paper is absolutely not peer review, at least if we're using the commonly accepted meaning of the term 'peer review'.
- AnnoyingSwede 6y agoProof reading means reading the text and pointing out errors in wording, spelling and punctuation. Peer-reviewing would using the same fundamental data and redo the experiment/mathematics and hopefully come to the same conclusion as the original author.
