Even worse, it was originally popularized by Robert Maxwell, yes that Maxwell, to save on the cost of paying an esteemed scientist in the field to sit down and do a serious review.
- emmanueloga_ 2y agoI never heard about "that" Maxwell (1923-1991) [1]. Paraphrasing Wikipedia [2] [3]. "Robert Maxwell, described as a "British media proprietor, politician, and fraudster," founded Pergamon Press, an Oxford-based publishing house specializing in scientific and medical books and journals. Known for his flamboyant lifestyle, ultimately embezzled hundreds of millions from his own companies. Pergamon (originally Butterworth-Springer), was established in 1948 to bring "Springer’s know-how and aggressive publishing techniques in science" to Britain. Today, Pergamon Press operates as an imprint of Elsevier." I had no idea. Beyond wild! -- 1: Not to be confused with James Clerk Maxwell (1831–1879), creator of "Maxwell's equations". 2: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Maxwell https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Maxwell 3: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pergamon_Press https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pergamon_Press
