Top journal "Science" says more than 2,600 of its papers have ‘exaggerated claims’

>Promoting research by reducing uncertainty in academic writing: a large-scale diachronic case study on hedging in Science research articles across 25 years

https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11192-MOOTBLOX023-MOOTBLOX04759-MOOTBLOX6

>Abstract
>Hedges are important in academic writing since they indicate uncertainty and tentativeness about academic knowledge. However, few studies explore how hedges have changed in academic writing overtime. Among the existing studies, there is also divergent understandings. The current case study traced the diachronic development of hedges that express doubt and uncertainty in the full texts of Science research articles from 1997 to 2021. Our findings show that the use of such hedges has significantly decreased in the past 25 years in the research articles of the Journal Science. In addition, we propose that the drop of such hedges in Science research articles may be an implicit writing strategy for research promotion, and therefore may correlate with the rising linguistic positivity in academic writing. Our hypothesis was initially confirmed by the significant correlation between the evolution of hedges and Yuan and Yao’s (Scientometrics 127:1–17, 2022) sentiment scores in academic writing. Our findings may reveal a bigger picture of promoting research by adopting not only explicit strategies such as more positive language (Yuan and Yao in Scientometrics 127:1–17, 2022) but also subtle and implicit writing strategies such as reducing uncertainty. Finally, we discussed the implications of this study for peer reviewers, editors, and researchers.

The abstract basically says they're hedging about hedging to get hedge funds or grants who fund authors that hedge to fund their hedging.

Science is headquartered in D.C. because its a political propaganda outlet, not a science journal. No surprise that everything in it is full of lies, its not different than any other D.C. publication in that respect.

In the 1918 pandemic they couldn't even get people to transmit the illness by coughing and spitting infected sputum into each other's mouths and noses, so what are masks supposed to do about it?

Some people lie. But not all. Scientists are people. So some will lie. But not all. The same is true with NDErs. So we can trust them as much as scientists, collectively. Some lie. But some do not.

And NDEs are more real than life. One way this manifests is how much more immersed NDErs are with that reality and with the beings they meet there. As one NDEr remarked:

>"To my surprise, and also distress, they seemed to be capable of knowing everything I was thinking. I didn't know whether I would be capable of controlling my thoughts and keeping anything secret. We began to engage in thought exchange, conversation that was very natural, very easy and casual. I heard their voices clearly and individually. They each had a distinct personality with a voice, but they spoke directly to my mind, not my ears. Everything I thought, they knew. They all seemed to know and understand me very well and to be completely familiar with my thoughts and my past. I didn't feel any desire to ask for someone I had known because they all knew me. Nobody could know me any better. Their love was tangible. You could feel it on your body, you could feel it inside you; their love went right through you. I wish I could explain it to you, but I can't."

From here: https://youtu.be/U00ibBGZp7o

And the NDE convinces everyone who has it, even hardcore skeptics, according to this: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/mysteries-consciousness/202204/does-afterlife-obviously-exist

So this argument is literally airtight, irrefutable proof of an afterlife, because we know now that the NDE will convince anyone. So it would convince you too, and the most skeptical person you know, no matter how skeptical you are of NDEs now, or why. NDErs were just as skeptical as you, and for the same reasons. And their NDEs still convinced them.

People are fed up. Apart from the obvious /pol/ victims there are actual academics ITT that have gone through the mill of despair only to find out that it's all smokes and mirrors these days. Yes, there are still some groups out there doing actual science, but if wager the vast majority don't. Instead, they're chasing numbers (citations, publications, ...). Science is long lost in former decades. This is business now.

[Anonymous No.15703372]

>>15702816
From my experience, it doesn't. People suggest reviewers and then it's one favor for another. Other reviewers make you cite their own work regardless of whether it fits your work or not. Some reviewers just absolutely disrespect your work because they're working on something similar and then there are the people who actually steal.
Look up the replicability crisis. That's how shitty peer review works.

Other time has stable budget and a different ethic. If you cheated you were out. Modern times had made a market out of science, you never know what financed you next year. Pretty ok if you have control structures and penalties. Every bigger company has, but science not. So they failed. Another effect is that science is not independent and has to go for interests of others. So it has become a propaganda machine with all the disadvantages of marketing. Result: mostly worthless, even the minor part not made by engineering is gone because of untrust. It's similar to the state TV over here wich is retarded beyond believe.
