Peer Review, Again
(some remarks are a repeat)
I.
"Peer review: No improvement with practice"

To keep the quality of what they publish high, journals may have to frequently recycle the experts asked to evaluate incoming manuscripts.

II.
Peer Review And Science Future

It is not just yes-not-how peer review...
Where has science been during the last century?

Is science relevant to any aspect of our personal-societal life?
Why did the 20th century technology culture-economy collapse?
Why is western humanity clinging to the collapsed technology culture?

A. From "There is no Science except for the Establishment's alone, and Peer Approved is the Establishment's only apostle?"
www.the-scientist.com/.../122.page#2485

The Science Guild Establishment, since its Mount Sinai Revelation as AAAS, has been prostituting all aspects of science, including the meanings of the terms science, scientists and research. It monopolizes all terminology and publications of information, blocking insights and evolution of science. It turned the organization and activities of science into a ludicrous caricature of a corrupt trade union. This is the origin and explanation of the circa 100 years long black hole in basic science and of the zero effect of science on societal evolution during the still ongoing 20th century technology culture.

B. Have you seen ANY attempt by The Science Establishment to assess the implications of ITS nature on the irrelevancy of science to our life and to the collapsed Technology-Culture-Economy?

The Science Establishment continues to fight for its TradeUnion share of public funds with various alliances and political means, steadfastly cooperating with its masters-allies, the big industries.

C. It is not just the yes-or-not peer-approved literature. It is the challenge of assessing the nature of the Science Establishment and considering if-how-whereto change its nature, organization and its charter.

D. Peer review is, factually, a tool of a "Subversive Activities Control Board"

The most revolting corrupt aspect of peer review in science is its exploitation by the Science Establishment to tightly clamp its political and financial omni-everything rule and control, including stifling of any shred of scientific innovation.

The peer review process is but a tool of the Establishment. The corruption is not inherent in the tool, but in the nature of the Science Establishment.

"Societal Implications Of Science And Technology Evolution Since The 1920s"

As long as Science and Technology are considered and handled, conceptually and administratively, as one realm and one faculty this corruption cannot and will not be overcome. This conception and attitude is THE CORRUPTION OF SCIENCE BY THE STILL ONGOING 20th CENTURY TECHNOLOGY CULTURE, administered and imposed by the science establishment trade union.
