Pro-tip, kids: don't drink the Kool-Aid, but maybe pretend that you did, as necessary. | |
| Aug 22, 2015 at 23:39 | comment | added | paul garrett | I must add that the issues about "curation" or "careful review" and so on are of essentially no interest to me, even without addressing issues of conflict-of-interest with referees who have reasons to want to delay/sabotage their competitors, etc. I suppose often it's not really conscious unethical behavior, but I have repeatedly witnessed it. And, then, there're other problems with the self-referential editor-referee cycle. Once-upon-a-time, maybe a little less bad than now (in mathematics), but always problematical, and now worse, due to constrained resources for which people compete. | |
