And what about predatory conferences? I do wonder to what extent both ignorance on the part of those who participate/publish in these fraudulent outlets plays a role in their decisions (see the example described here, https://physicstoday.scitation.org/do/10.1063/PT.6.2.20180718a/full/).
On a separate note, this is the first TIPS post I have received in weeks!!! Thanks, Mike!!

Maybe they are relying too much on their "Gut Reasoning" (see Gerd Gigerenzer's work on 'fast and fugal heuristics' and how they make a person 'smart'). NOTE: seems like a lot of this is going on around the world with an estimated 400,000 researchers engaging in the practice. -Mike Palij New York University [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>.
