I'm happy someone is pointing this out. There is so much trash out there that is just maximised for "citation count" because that's how you get recognition in academia.

One more thing for folks who don't know: peer reviewed doesn't always mean someone actually verified shit, let alone read it all.

I'm not saying don't believe scientists or that the whole research field is a hoax, I just am severely disappointed in the broader scientific community.
