I once sent an submission to a #Frontiers journal, I can't recall the name, something to do with #soil. It was obviously me being obnoxious. I wrote a short proposal that I scientifically proved dog shit made grass grow faster by careful observation of dog shit in my backyard as opposed to no dog shit in my front yard, resulting in empirical evidence that dog shit makes grass grow. They responded! They were interested in my "findings." I just had to pay $4000 for publication. @academicchatter
The End of the Myth
From the Frontier to the Border Wall in the Mind of America
From a Pulitzer Prize finalist, a new and eye-opening interpretation of the meaning of the frontier, from early westward expansion to Trump's border wall.
The publishing sector has a problem. Scientists are overwhelmed, editors are overworked, special issue invitations are constant, research paper mills, article retractions, journal delistings… JUST WHAT IS GOING ON!?
