>Elsevier magazine kicked out of science for claiming jade amulets cure COVID
Is this a good or a bad thing? Elsevier publishes 16% of all scientific papers in the world btw

>money therefore wrong
Sounds like a wrong benchmark to index. If this is just political propaganda, then it reflects negatively for the entire community.
>>
>>16858986
Lots of butthurt out there from Elsiver-only published researchers. Keyboards are aflamed.

>>16858986
>money therefore wrong
If any of the money they're making is from taxpayer money then that is kind of shitty. Citizens shouldn't have to pay to access the results of research they're paying to have done, including paying by proxy through increased university fees etc
>>
>>16859015
All research journals are locked behind pay 2 access. So all journals get tax payer funding because researchers pay for them, universities pay for them, etc.

Isn't almost everyone wrong about covid? Even the Nature journal claims covid is racism by white cis men so they need to support Joe Biden and Kamala Harris?

Gotcha covered. The publisher has been pretty thorough in scrubbing the actual article from the web to try and insulate itself, but thank goodness for archive.
https://archive.is/AzX1e#selection-1027.1899-1033.14

It's an absolute rabbit hole of crazy batshit.
>We propose that carbon dioxide-rich water-peridotite (a ferromagnesian silicate) interactions generate abnormal lithospheric long-wavelength magnetic anomalies (LWMAs) via serpentinization
>COVID-19 is a pathologic manifestation of resonant LWMAs-induced magnetic catalysis of iron oxides-silicate-like minerals from biogenic molecules
>these LWMAs are associated with the production of iron oxides-silicate rock minerals in tectonic plates
>severe COVID-19 outbreaks are governed by the spatiotemporal dynamics of terrestrial water storage and the oscillation of the geomagnetic magnetic field
>ferromagnetic-like iron stores in humans are the unifying determinant for COVID-19-induced morbidity and mortality
>Nephrite-Jade amulets (a calcium-ferromagnesian silicate) developed by Neolithic Chinese Medicine to prevent thoracic organ disease caused by unseen nefarious forces, may prevent COVID-19.

tl;dr version - Molecular biologist teaching at U Pitt goes fucking nuts during lockdown and publishes his crazy-ass theory of everything into a long rambling paper about how humans are really spiritual semiconductors and that magic crystals prevent disease. School fires his ass and he sues them for racial discrimination.

ahahaha wtf, how did this get published?

>>16858970
Is it true i can get a jade amulet at the market if I trade for two golden scarabs and the egg of chocobo?
>>
>>16858970
Good it's removed. Bad it's removed for the wrong reasons.
>>
>>16859078
Because they're a shitty publisher with shitty standards. They've been caught publishing blatantly fake or schizo papers for years, they've been found charging for access to open access articles on multiple occasions, and they were one of the biggest pushers behind suing to get sci-hub and lib-gen taken out.
>>
>>16858970
Good, all my homies publish in IEEE
>>
>>16858970
But I thought covid didn't exist? You guys can't even stay on message.

>>16858970
>Is this a good or a bad thing?
It's aristocratic bastards pushing each other out to get a bigger share of the power and loot. Good that frauds are getting paupered, bad that different frauds are going to take their market share. Very little change overall, presumably some worsening from even less competition.

>>16859614
Bot. Literally nothing in the thread relies on Covid existing.

Scientific journal kikes must die

>>16859070

Sounds pretty reasonable.

this is censorship btw. it goes against freedom of speech

>>16860713
The first amendment does not entitle individuals to promotion of their work by a private publisher. Publishers are within their legal rights to retract publications that violate their terms and conditions. In this case the publisher should have been more proactive and not let this drivel be published in the first place.

If this new age nigger wants to peddle his amulets he can start an online shop.
>>
>>16860718
If private publisher operates under government accreditation, funding, etc, it needs to follow the law. Gov cannot fund companies that violate the US constitutions.

Has "Professor" Dave made a vid defending this fraud yet?

Sabine vindicated again.

this isn't a case of a random guy posted on a scientific magazine and the magazine censored him. this is a case of a scientific magazine posted something on purpose and the government forced them to remove it. elsevier was well aware of what it was posting

Well, no, there are tons of full OA journals now.

Then just take $3k+ APCs for taking a look at your submission.
>>
The point OP misses is that there is no trustworthy scientific journalism. They're all compromised. Thats why 50% of the scientific research cannot be replicated. Its compromised through lack of scientific integrity and hard science. You have journals like Nature claiming their political stance on election is more important than science.

Its all junk and only the castrated and the brainwashed believe there is still a functioning and trustworthy system in place. The singling out of one journal for one paper is whats called scapegoating. They just fire all the journals, across the entire field
