It's a numbers game.

  • X submits paper to Journal 1, and peers A,B,C reject it.
  • X submits paper with minor changes to Journal 2, and only peers D and E reject it.
  • X submits paper with minor changes to Journal 3, and only peer G rejects it
  • X submits paper with minor changes to Journal 4, and no one rejects it.

Journal 4 increments prestige, Scientist X increments prestige, but nothing true or good is actually gained.

Science.

NOT science. At all. That's publication and clout. Two things science distinctly is NOT, but needs because information must still disseminate in some way.

Did peer F get murdered for indicating they were going to reject the paper? 🔍🧐
