I'm a geochemist. My main interest is in-situ mass spectrometry, but I have a soft spot in my heart for thermodynamics, poetry, drillers, trees, bicycles, and cosmochemistry.

Is it wrong...
To cobble together a 40 page manuscript that doesn't quite make sense, submit it to a journal under a false name and address, and recommend 3 people you really don't like to be the reviewers?
Yes, technically, it is wrong. Sorry.

ReplyDeleteOh, but what fun knowing the grief you're causing the folks you dislike!
ReplyDeleteI have a suspicion that this technique was tried and backfired when the paper was accepted without revision. There is no other explanation.
ReplyDeleteIsn't that the mantra by which most paleoclimatologists live?
ReplyDeleteMaybe, it's too dreadfully late at night to tell, but at this late hour, and possibly because sleep is for babies and dead folk, it is funny, eh?
