Yes. The purpose of science is supposed to be finding the truth. The identical paper being rejected more often based on the celebrity of the author isn't that.

- AussieWog93 4y agoHonestly, this is the least of academia's problems. I've seen it from the inside. Probably read 80-100 widely-cited papers during my PhD (before dropping out), and maybe half a dozen of them were written by people who had any interest in discovering truth and pushing mankind forward. Seriously cannot overstate both the willful ignorance of established scientists, and the extent to which this is enforced onto the next generation.
