I believe in the scientific method. I believe in peer review.

I just don't like that scientific journals have become so commodified that a lesser journal would accept volumes of bad science and bad review in order to boost its rankings whilst boosting the prestige of the scientist who is measured on the quantity of their work and not the quality.

Entire paper mills exist purely for this reason, and it's a scourge on the scientific community.
