Paul, the corruption of peer-review is distressing. And it is not the only sign of demise. A couple years ago Science published a letter of mine decrying the abuse of p-values in research studies. I got quite of bit of email agreeing about the self-serving nature of the "p hoax". My final straw was the pervasive wokeness in Science & Nature the past 2 years. I canceled my 40 year subscriptions this year just as I cancelled my subscription to Scientific American 10 years ago when I could not take editor John Rennie's arrogance anymore. I am not confident the self-inflicted damage we see in the scientific community can be reversed in a generation.
This film was released in the U.K. 2 days ago. It really brings home the unfolding scandal.
