This. It takes tons of energy especially if your surrounded with admirers (I suppose these types tend to gather undiscerning yes men).
I have fled a renowned institute for this reason. You are probably going to sacrifice your career over it either way, because if you're not hopping on their gravy train...
- SlightlyLeftPad 2y agoThis is a perfect example of “I’m sure it will work itself out naturally.” It’s going to continue happening and it really just makes me more confident in the process around reviews and science in general. It shouldn’t fall on individuals to weed this out but it should absolutely fall on the process to.
- kylebenzle 2y agoFar from being weeded out by the process the process encourages this type of behavior and rewards it. The review process is completely broken because it gives the reviewers no actual ability to change anything so 99% of the time it's just a rubber stamp.
- SlightlyLeftPad 2y agoInteresting take. I’m genuinely curious, do you have examples of that or where the review process clearly fails? What’s the solution? I actually don’t have a great grasp of how it all works right now. Is there a field-specific board that determines how reviews are done? Is there a feedback loop?
