I've been at Harvard and MIT for the last 10 years doing biomedical research and have published in Nature, Science, and Cell (top journals) numerous times. I can tell you academic publishing is completely f*cked with no hope.
Henry Kissinger said the only thing you need to know about academia,
"Academic politics are so vicious precisely because the stakes are so small."

It's certainly not perfect, but overall the peer-review system (again, based on my experience with it) results in scientific progress.
- untilHellbanned 12y agoWhat rate of progress? Academia is glacial.
- mubhij 12y agoI was at a top 10 grad school till 2 months ago. An assistant professor here wrote a paper which was a minimalist increment over her PhD work. Something you would expect to see in PlOs One but got published in Cell. I know of people in lesser ranked and less prestigious schools who have trouble getting more impacting papers accepted.
