Do We Need a New Model for Academic Publishing? | University of Venus

Amyluv's bookmarks 2017-10-10

Summary:

"In the past few months there have been two instances of highly controversial -- some would say offensive -- pieces being published in academic journals.

Some see these as indicative of larger problems with the way that academic journals function, citing failures in the peer-review process, as well as issues with the continued focus on high citation counts, which result whether the piece is linked to as a result of controversial content or academic relevance.

Are these instances indicative of larger issues in the academic journal community? What can be done?"
