Check out this 8bit-clean compactification of notes, written by mine own hand, during a recent seminar delivered for the organic chemistry department, on the subject of academic publication, by a doctor named Neville Compton, who spoke as representative of a publication conglomerate; out of respect for the academic process, and the prudence necessary for correctness, I will give credit where credit is due, although the full names of audience members are not disclosed out of respect for their privacy:

notes during SOC Seminar, 2019-02-14T15:00
Dr Neville Compton von Ang.Che, EIC
'forest vs trees' cf numbers: Erdos, Bacon...
worandie Bell curve for the Nobel graph?
unidimensional academic noise: launch/land density of journals/societies
didimensional research mappings: lat/long are only relevant at
lowest&highest resolutions, languages (of publications&conferences) are
more relevant
'What Would Hipassus Publish?'
re: publication (cf lateral vs longitudinal communication, ie, 3+1-
metric): "language all over the place", in abstracts (and the rest of
the paper), he means that authors conflate vernaculars with 'standard
english' [noshit.gif]
"none of our editors are active in research"
cf tenure - academic vs editorial
"publication ethics" academic ethics from the
editor's perspective: plagiarism, misdirection,
interest conflicts, exclusivity violations (in no
particular order)
journals use antifraud software!? drywear!? what idiocy is this.
'who will fuzz the fuzzers?'
Editor's Note:
Please do not shout from the gallery!
datafraud detection: are graphics considered
wrt viewing on screens, printed, or as raw
data? this I asked at the end, and he claims:
they've only launched systems for raw data,
and are still mulling over presentation forms.
citation DAG: prune early, prune often!
reviewers are not necessarily a blindable factor,
so journals (at least, those owned by his
conglomerate) consider author recommendations and
interest-conflict disclosures
"new vs innovative" - what's the difference
between 'novation' and innovation? this is
'patent nonsense', mais c'est pumpernickle!
everything becomes FeNi when it's all fini.
journals respond in a variety of manners, rejection
does not necessarily mean the research itself is
invalid, and could just be an opportunity to revise
its draft for publication; often the editor will
offer comments (their own, and/or based on peers'
reviews) elaborating why exactly the draft was
rejected rather than accepted with suggested
modifications.
speaker presents a "pyramid" graphic, reminiscent of
food pyramid, but I, sitting aside Umberto's ashes,
think of that trivial Manutius<->Garamond pingpong...
editors accept responsibility for the whole review ensemble's
opinions, thus suffering appeals, blames, etc: they are the
diplomats of academia! the manager-psychologists, calm-skinn
ed thick-headed lizards, soaking up environmental energy.
What would Malaclypse do?
social media leads to rapid dispersal yet also to rapid
fragility of shifts (cf orders of phase transition,
fragility in the literal, engineering sense)
... at which point, RA comments in tangential response to
NC's question "if you hadda earna million pounds in twenty
seconds, what would jesus do?" that he'd ask for a
fistbump.
initially I misinterpret, since RA and I communicate as
silently as practical, knowing that the entire classroom
hears our every word, as I do not whisper, and superfluid
tetranucleomers do not sign.
my interpretation entails social media's brittlifaction of
the infosphere as arising from electrodynamics in a manner
similar to friction.
final thought, before stage is opened for audience
questions: the challenge of 'social engineering' the
publication process hinges upon an editor's (thus also
their peers') susceptib ility to influence by 'screen
numbers', i.e., number of followers. not all numbers are
created equal, although some numbers are more equal than
others!
