Speaking of #Science, Question: What is Peer Review? https://t.co/mcJYmUZfX4
"If peer review was a drug it would never be allowed onto the market.... Peer review would not get onto the market because we have no convincing evidence of its benefits but a lot of evidence of its flaws." Often we scientists do things in an unscientific
@NoahHaber @Edit0r_At_Large @Richvn I'm not sure that's necessarily true. Given the recognised enormous cost of the peer-review system, isn't the onus on its supporters to demonstrate that it's worth that cost? Plenty of evidence suggests that it is not: s
