[Irtalk] Fake peer review: Scientific journals publish fraudulent, plagiarized, or nonsense papers.

[Hilton Gibson]

*When something at the core of scientific publishing begins to rot, the
smell of corruption quickly spreads to all areas of science.* This is
because the act of publishing a scientific finding is an essential part of
the practice of science itself. You want a job? Tenure? A promotion? A
juicy grant? You need to have a list of peer-reviewed publications, for
publications are the coin of the scientific realm.
