I said it before and I'll say it again: scientific journals have hardly any relevance any more, except for academic careers. (mstdn.social)

AI is just speeding up this evolution. We urgently need to rethink scientific communication!

@JorisMeys @academicchatter

The extent of this is probably much greater than you have uncovered here.

I think back to these hoaxes, which con-artists invented to convince people that evolution is real:

Piltdown Man
Lucy
Archaeopteryx
Brontosaurus

And other "scientific" hoaxes which will get me banned from the soviet-controlled, fedposter-infested, censorship-friendly fediverse if I even name them ...

Publish or perish ...?

@firefly I don't know if @academicchatter can set blocks, but with only 1 right out of 4, your post does sound rather off-topic:

[1] known fraud: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piltdown_Man

[2] generally accepted: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucy_%28Australopithecus%29

[3] #FredHoyle and #LeeSpetner suspected forgery, but the palaeontologists' consensus is that it's real: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archaeopteryx#Authenticity

[4] generally accepted: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brontosaurus
