Sverker Sörlin: Trump hatar forskningen för att den hindrar hans korståg

Scientists are constantly and consistently trying to prove themselves wrong, whereas those who practice pseudoscience are more concerned with proving themselves right.

De senaste åren har jag noterat att editors tar mindre ansvar för beslut att publicera eller ej än tidigare. De lägger beslutet nästan helt i knät på reviewers.
Det är olyckligt.
Editors bör själv veta om de är intresserade eller ej innan de fattar beslut om att skicka ut på review.
