Welcome to c/science_memes @ Mander.xyz!

A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

Rules

  1. Don't throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.

It's a numbers game.

  • X submits paper to Journal 1, and peers A,B,C reject it.
  • X submits paper with minor changes to Journal 2, and only peers D and E reject it.
  • X submits paper with minor changes to Journal 3, and only peer G rejects it
  • X submits paper with minor changes to Journal 4, and no one rejects it.

Journal 4 increments prestige, Scientist X increments prestige, but nothing true or good is actually gained.

Science.

NOT science. At all. That's publication and clout. Two things science distinctly is NOT, but needs because information must still disseminate in some way.
