I get that he was fired for other reasons but his method is a plague and should be worrying for everyone. When I wrote my latest paper more than half of the published papers I found through research hubs were so subpar that I would've failed my students if they submitted it in one of the regular assignments. Anything can be published. Add some ChatGPT so it sounds convincing and the practice of citing your colleagues to up the stats and it will be near impossible to sort decent science from junk without spending all your time on reading papers instead of doing actual research.
- saulpw 4y agoI'm also worried about this, but "impossible to sort decent science from junk without spending all your time on reading papers instead of doing actual research"--isn't spending all your time reading papers what "actual research" is? re-search?
- NotYourLawyer 4y agoResearch is for discovering new things, not just reading old things.
- pvaldes 4y agoIs both. Reading old things, sometimes published in several different languages is required to master a theme. And finding it first takes an awful lot of time
- NotYourLawyer 4y agoMy comment implied as much. >not just reading old things
