Well. The results are still true. We will have more deaths due to shutdown than to the virus. We cannot survive well as a nation going into a depression. But the governors are willing to take this risk.

It would be helpful to know what people are selected to review proposed papers ... and to know what ownership and sponsorship exists for specific journals.

Nor does it help simply to say that a journal has a great reputation -- unless it is known what that reputation is based upon realistic and verifiable evidence. It is easy for things to be corrupted in this world.Last edited by mikewhitney; 06-08-2020, 01:18 PM.

The other thing was about medical doctors being asked to be represented as the main researcher on a research paper that was already written. There also has been selection of research only of prominent people so that there is a favoritism to promote their careers. Along this line too, there can be a tendency to publish research that is biased toward specific ends, as determined by the journals. (They are less likely to include research that counters their narrative.)
