Really embarrassing also for the journals that published the papers – and which are as guilty. They take ridiculously massive amounts of money to publish articles (publication cost for one article easily surpasses the cost of a high-end business laptop), and they don't even check them properly?

Journals are the cancer of the science world

Why would they? They get the money. I feel like that system is just prime corruption/malpractice and leads to crap like this.

It's for profit all the way through

You have a lot of shit in the journals. I read about autism for example. I can't count how many article with restrain and basic human right abuse are published. And, it continues in 2024.

It's seriously depressing to see this BS and other pseudo-scientific text published.

Oh, they don't pay the peer reviewers. That would cut their profit margins waaaay too much.
