       Definitely using the term “Nature Industrial Complex” from now on.Crosspost from @syeducation@twitter.com:New post! "PNAS is Not a Good Journal (and Other Hard Truths about Journal Prestige)," in which I decry our ridiculous reliance on the impact factor, poke fun of the Nature Industrial Complex, and note how metascientists reinforce prestige hierarchies. https://getsyeducated.substack.com/p/pnas-is-not-a-good-journal🐦🔗: https://twitter.com/syeducation/status/1633937303516196865

       @tiago I had no idea how messed up this system was. I thought the badness was just the fairly surface level badness of profiting from doing very little, pay walled information and some bias to publishing. But wow.

       @tiago “ the empirical research on the impact factor indicates no association, or in some cases a negative association, with nearly any quality indicator you can think of.”

       @tiago That part about how metascientists reinforce these hierarchies was eye opening to me.
