Thread Name: BS: Science under attack.
Subject: RE: BS: Science under attack.
Is there an implication that some of us would not understand proper science journals?

Then again, we can't access the ****** things. Not in public libraries. No longer on paper in university libraries. Behind pay walls. Not cheap, and you don't know wherther the paper is any use until after paying. Not available to alumni of universities, even when they've paid a subscription for library use.

That's you, Elsevier, Wiley and Jstor.

The article, however, did, I suppose have a political bias, since some of the BS attitudes it singled out seemed to be those associated with a right wing agenda. You know, I don't recall seeing a left-wing anti-science idea being peddled around over the years. Odd, that.

If anyone knows any different, I'd be interested to know.
