    I am a physicist with a Ph.D. in materials... and I take my dedication as a reviewer very seriously, so I found several mistakes in a few articles; in one of them, I wrote, "How you are claiming this result, that is contrary of all the data that we publish in the last 30 years" ... He answers me with a paper of my director, paper that I study by years. I found that he didn't understand what my professor wrote.
    Also, I have a review paper. It was horrible work because of all the papers that I read; only 30% had data that I could use, and several of them, around 20%, had fake data.. How could they publish that work?
    In experimental physics... In materials like this case, it is normal to find fake data. The reviewers usually don't want to revise all the data and the equations... I had problems with lower claims and usually answered, "I include the raw data of those experiments that you could follow to reach that conclusion; if you find a mistake, we can study together... and if is necessary, I could provide you with the samples to measure by your self" the answer is always the same "I accept your claims."
    It is time-consuming, but I repeat several samples and measure again to find out if I made a mistake with the previous one.

      20% of the papers have fake data (and that is only out of the ones that actually included data)? That is serious.
      It seems like we need another system of reviewing studies for publishing. It seems like we currently rely on a system that assumes that PhDs are some kind of special humans who never lie, instead of the obvious fact that they are normal human beings who have the same preponderance to lie to advance their station in life as any other human being.
      A degree has NO bearing on your morality and doesn't magically transform you into someone who'd never lie, all groups of people will have a large percent who is willing to lie if it benefits them, especially when they feel they won't get caught

    • @pandamandimax
      @pandamandimax 5 місяців тому +3

      We have lots of studies showing the astonishingly high percentage of people willing to cheat when they believe there's no chance to get caught. We need to view this as a part of human nature and change the review process to one standard process followed 100% of the time that takes just being a human (and all of the associated faults that come with that) into account and not just "assume" scientists are special unique humans.
      All study data should be reviewed for statistical anomalies or evidence of fabrication, and be tested for replicability. Submitters can pay for this or their university can pay, and there can be a fund set up for independent scientists which can be contributed to by all major institutions and donors who value science

    I think the author is always the primary culprit but I think peer review is the main issue. It’s a label that says “don’t question this. It was already questioned and verified!” It’s a false sense of security. Letting people say whatever they want without a filter makes everyone more skeptical, which is good imo.

    • @sunway1374
      @sunway1374 6 місяців тому +11

      Generally, peer reviewed doesn't mean "don't question this." (except maybe in pure mathematics). If you or others think so, you have misunderstood. Published articles are being questioned, discussed and examined all the time.
      Peer review means, according to the assessment of the reviewers, that appropriate scientific methods have been applied to reach the conclusions, the quality of the research is up to the standard required by the journal, and the paper is reasonably well written. This doesn't mean mistake has not been made, mistake has been discovered, no fraud was committed, our current methods and knowledge are perfect, etc.
      We all know reviewers have limited knowledge, skills and time to check everything.

      @@sunway1374 it’s fair to say it isn’t peer reviewers fault for its reputation but that it is the fault of people who misunderstand it. I don’t misunderstand it, I never said it was irrefutable. I said that’s the perception. Though, I would argue that the system/people involved aren’t fully without blame. There is an underlying elitism about peer review that I think contributes to this misconception. It’s like a lie they don’t promote but don’t seem to do a lot in the way to disclaim.
      Though, I would also argue there is a problem with the system besides its reputation. Peer review is supposed to at least say “yes, this is reasonable” but there are countless cases of data being so ludicrous it’s like the reviewer didn’t even read it or check the data.
      So, yes, it’s a misconception that isn’t pushed by the peer reviewers and is a clear misunderstanding but 1. It isn’t disclaimed enough (imo, that is subjective) and 2. It does have issues worthy of criticism but maybe that’s moving the goal post.

    Did I hear that right? Gordon Moore co-founded IBM? (1:44)? Maybe try Intel.

  • @kabalder
    @kabalder Місяць тому

    Pete.. small fact-check thing: Moore was the co-founder of Intel, where he sat on the board for a very long time. His paper, called "Cramming more components into integrated circuits" is very short, and is about the idea that integrated circuits (at the time being a chip with some operational function) would become smaller, and that this would allow.. more components to be put in these varied specialisations of integrated circuits, which then would increase the processing power. His company would go on to ditch that idea completely, and instead move on to the model that made Intel the company it is, where complex circuits are replaced with higher clocked and fewer generic circuits.
    In other words, "Moore's law" applies to a concept that was ditched by Intel, and arguably caused the split in Fairchild that led to founding AMD. Meanwhile, Ibm and ARM have been working in areas where Moore's suggestion is more relevant. But the whole paradigm that modern computers are based on is not even remotely connected to Moore's thesis: the idea that computing power doubles every now and then, and storage space grows exponentially and so on - complete bonk. Does not happen, it's a marketing blurb.
    Other than that, Claudine Gay argued that opposition to sionism, to christianity, to whatever, and even very upsetting opposition to something - may very well not be a problem, nor that it should be banned from debate. In certain contexts, it is possible to argue even very distasteful things (although the culprits here were not actually calling for eradicating jews). At a university, that is not a controversial statement, to simply say that the ceiling for censorship is extremely high. And that without considering the context the statements were given, you cannot possibly just blanket condemn something as attacks on jews, or making the campus unsafe (which is what was alleged). But it is a controversial statement in the US congress and senate, never mind in the hearing that you clipped from, where criticising Israel shall not be excused "in any context". So while I'm sure the accusations "sound" worse than the plagiarism (that was basically bullshit, like you point out), they are flatly the result of the efforts of an Israel lobby that then brags about having gotten rid of Gay - in public. "This is what happens when you are silent and weak against anti-semitism", said the Israel on Campus Coalition, openly arguing for banning any opposition to not just Israel, but any pro-Israeli demonstrations.
    And an academic that just says "well, we should probably not ban speech, whether it's this or that" is considered a threat to that.

    There is a very rare, but more rigorous, process than peer review: peer auditing. An independent 3rd party must audit the actual experimental setup, data collection, and data processing for acceptance. It's expensive and inconvenient, so it's likely reserved for cases where the scientists don't trust their own results, like the "faster-than-light" neutrinos finding that turned out to be due to a damaged fibre optic line.

    In my opinion at least Batlogg has to bear significant responsibility. It happened on his watch - "the buck stops there." Part of the RESPONSIBILITY of supervisors is to pay enough attention to be confident their subordinates are doing their jobs right, and that applies not only in science but in every human endeavor.
    The guy who just made the crystals? I can let him off - he was really just providing a service to the other people, and he provided it. He's not the one whose position calls for him to maintain oversight.
    These things absolutely should "cut upward," but I don't think they necessarily should cut sideways unless particular circumstances of the situation warrant it.
    Regarding the journals? Well, ultimately they are paying the price of having been party to this. But the onus of making that happen is on US. When do we decide that maybe Nature ISN'T quite so prestigious as we've regarded it in the past? That's a decision for us to make - all of us. Nature rises and falls on our assessment of it. It's like when government officials do bad things and then get reelected - that becomes the responsibility of the VOTERS. If we accept it and put up with it, then we are the ones who have failed.

      well, the electrons could fit through the barriers (x), provided the uncertainty in the momentum goes up per p^2 ~ hbar^2 x^2...which is quantum physics, and when p^2 goes up, p^2/2m_e goes up, kinetic energy is KE = p^2/2m_e, and (3/2)k_B T = KE...so temperature goes up.
