Did I write that?! I meant to say 'a complete and speedy recovery'.

My excuse? None! My last post was in early May, but for several weeks prior I seem to have been off the list due to some type of glitch and Bill Southerly was good enough to reinstate me. BTW, you'd be surprised at how many academics still seem to be unaware of the predatory publishing universe. I hope you make a complete a full recovery. ________________________________________ From: Michael Palij [m...@nyu.edu] Sent: Saturday, July 21, 2018 10:43 AM To: Teaching in the Psychological Sciences (TIPS) Cc: Michael Palij Subject: RE: [tips] I Thought the Germans Were Smart? On Sat, 21 Jul 2018 07:00:34 -0700, Miguel Roig pointed out: >And what about predatory conferences? While the Physics Today article refers to conferences in the U.S. and Europe, most of the conference invitations I receive are in China and not in Beijing or Shanghai. I'm not that desperate to make a conference presentation (I can always do that at EPA ;-) ). >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/). I am puzzled that physicists would attend a conference by an organization they are not familiar with or is not well known in the discipline. Do they really think that they want to present their "best" work in these venues or even think that it would be highly regarded by the promotions/salary committee(s)? >On a separate note, this is the first TIPS post I have received in weeks!!! >Thanks, Mike!! *Cough* Yer welcome.

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. --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: ro...@stjohns.edu<mailto:ro...@stjohns.edu>.
