A peer review young earth creationist journal would still gatekeep anything that did not come from a young earth perspective.
>Papers can be in any scientific, or social scientific, field, but must be from a young-earth perspective and aim to assist the development of the creation model of origins
The problem is that inherently peer review is designed to act as a brake:
>Peer review, in which a scientist's paper is scrutinized by a group of colleagues, is designed to find errors and weed out half-baked ideas.
But in blocking you are going to reject ideas.
>And although some have criticized peer review for rejecting new ideas just because they're too radical for the establishment to stomach
How much of a problem and how many revolutionary ideas are stopped, I don't know. I am more concerned about the reproducibility problem in science.
- Attrecomet 4y agoSorry, bad phrasing on my part. I didn't mean that peer reviewing doesn't lead to gatekeeping, but that simply making something peer reviewed isn't enough, because ludicrously bad attempts at science can be peer reviewed. Peer review is also obviously a bad solution for the reproducibility problem, given that we've got the problem now, concurrent with generations of peer reviewed manuscripts.
