Not just "shoddy papers", but the wholesale (no pun intended) #neoliberal destruction of scientific inquiry (as well as a couple of bizarre "cash for impact factor" schemes in #China)...
...@gentraso's essay is worth reading on its own, but it is also a review of @StuartJRitchie's Science Fictions, 'Required reading for everyone' @AdamRutherford.

Excellent article on citations in #humanities journals by @PeterHerman4 from 2018…genuinely disturbing if read with @gentraso’s essay on #impactfactor. I wonder if and by how much the situation differs for #Criminology journals? @threadreaderapp #unroll insidehighered.com/views/2018/11/…

@BSCPG1 Publishing dilemma musing 1/10...last week I had a paper accepted by the Journal of Aesthetic Education (JAE) and was delighted. Partly because it’s my favourite philosophy journal and partly because I wasn’t sure if the paper would ever be published.
2/10 But we work in a regime where all publications are ‘outputs’, where the value of those outputs is qualified and quantified and where the quantification determines our career and promotion prospects. So, now that the initial excitement of acceptance has worn off...
3/10 I wrote the paper as part of a pilot study for my next project, but realised it wouldn't have a place in that project shortly after it was finished. This is not necessarily a problem, but it does mean that that I’m not likely to pursue those ideas in the future.
