PC Principal V: What The Fuck Am I Reading

[archibaldcrane]

Is this journal in question prestigious in the slightest? There's all sorts of pay-for-play bullshit "peer reviewed" journals out there.

[Day]

this is a much better (non-paywall) piece on it, i think it was multiple journals they were published in

https://areomagazine.com/2018/10/02/...f-scholarship/

We wrote 20 papers and submitted them to the best journals in the relevant fields (more on this below) with considerable success, even though we had to take the project public prematurely, and thus stop the study, before it could be properly concluded. At the time of publishing this, we have:

7 papers accepted.
4 of these have been published online.

3 more have been accepted without having had time to see publication through. (This can take months).

7 papers still in play when we had to call a halt.
2 have been “revised and resubmitted,” and are awaiting a decision. (A judgment of “Revise and Resubmit” usually results in publication following the satisfactory completion of requested revisions. A judgment of “Reject and Resubmit” can result in publication following more substantial ones. It is very rare for papers to be accepted outright.)

1 is still under first review at its current journal

4 are left hanging with no time to submit them to journals after rejection (2), revise and resubmit (1) or reject and resubmit (1).

6 retired as fatally flawed or beyond repair.

4 invitations to peer-review other papers as a result of our own exemplary scholarship. (For ethical reasons, we declined all such invitations. Had we wished to fully participate in their culture in this way, however, it would have been an unrivaled opportunity to tinker with how far we could take the hypothesis that the canon of literature within these fields gets skewed in part because the peer-review process encourages the existing political and ideological biases.)

1 paper (the one about rape culture in dog parks) gained special recognition for excellence from its journal, Gender, Place, and Culture, a highly ranked journal that leads the field of feminist geography. The journal honored it as one of twelve leading pieces in feminist geography as a part of the journal’s 25th anniversary celebration.

"The field of feminist geography" what the actual eff.

The existence of a monthly journal focused on “feminist geography” is a sign of something gone awry in academia. The journal in question—Gender, Place & Culture

Well I wouldn't consider this prestigious but apparently some people rank it pretty high

Is there more than one journal dedicated to feminist geography?

U of MN Frats Ban Hard Liquor (15%+), with Exceptions, to Cut Down on Hazing

As of Sunday night, the fraternities banned hard liquor (anything over 15 percent alcohol by volume) at frat houses and chapter events, unless it’s supplied by a third-party vendor.

Chapters have until Halloween to get this rule officially into their bylaws, but the new policy is already in effect across the board.

Enforcement of the liquor ban is up to each chapter, and there are three frats to which the ban does not apply, simply because they aren’t members of the Interfraternity Council: Tau Kappa Epsilon, Kappa Sigma and Phi Delta Theta.

At University of Minnesota’s sororities, meanwhile, there has been a no-alcohol-of-any-kind rule for a while, according to a university spokesperson.

wait so you're still paying for friends but you can't even drink?

[dasva]

15%. Hard liquor. Ok.

[Gredival]

Oh boy, Gred's gonna be really really upset you're talking shit on peer-reviewed journals.

Months later and you still don't understand the distinction between journal publication vs. the process of peer review that happens post publication.

[BerenTebogo]

wait so you're still paying for friends but you can't even drink?

How else are you going to force the girls to go into the frat houses? Make it the only place they're "allowed" to drink!

It's pretty genius if poundin' out some date rapes is your goal.

[Gredival]

Psst.

This ain't new. This is precisely how we expose journals for having shitty academic standards.

[Mertron]

15%. Hard liquor. Ok.

you can get a pretty good buzz if you pound a whole bottle of triple sec

I'm just saying I have non port/dessert wines back home that would qualify as "hard liquor" in that case which is kind of silly
