Farcical "Research" Repeatedly Gets Through Peer Review Process

I am available to speak for your organization or event. Please contact me via LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonpadfield/

In this video I discuss a series of 7 completely ridiculous, fake "research papers" that were peer reviewed and accepted for publication in academic journals. The 3 academics who wrote these papers did it to prove the point that papers which support popular narratives and "reach the right conclusions" can be published no matter how shoddy and ludicrous the research methodology was.

From "Fat Body Building" to "Rape Culture in Urban Dog Parks" to plagiarizing Adolph Hitler's Mein Kampf and updating it with "fashionable buzzwords", these academics illustrated the problems with today's peer review process in cultural studies journals.
