One thought on “Junk Publishing, Padding your Resume”

  1. The real problem is not the existence of junk journals, but the junk that is published in the best of journals. What percent of results are ever reproduced? And what percent are even reproducible in theory? These junk results then get cited and form the basis for further conclusions, all based on nonsense.
