Or maybe it doesn't matter. He got them published anyway and just lost some prestigious journal points on his career. Science/math was the winner on the day and that's the whole point of it. Maybe some of those lower ranked journals are run better and legitimately chipping away at the prestige of the top ones due to their carelessness.
- bumby 2y agoResearch and publication incur opportunity costs. For every manuscript that has to be reworked and submitted elsewhere, you’re losing the ability to do new research. So a researcher is left trying to balance the cost/benefit of additional time investment. Sometimes that results in a higher quality publication, sometimes it results in abandoning good (or bad) work, and sometimes it just wastes time.
- melagonster 2y agofoxglacier offered a very good point! If some guy is so talented as Tao, perhaps this is the time to ameliorate journal by his power (like what he did here).
