While I do believe I am a (world-renowned?) expert on what “entropy” is all about and on a few other things, still I cannot make sense of whether my boiler is condensing or not. Unfortunately, though, I wasn’t aware that, due to urgent bureaucratic deadlines, I had to write an abstract urgently! In panic, I slaughtered the last and most precious of the rabbits from my hat: thermodynamics. Of course I am expert on none of those subjects, but I assumed I could study hard from here to then and get prepared to fluidly discuss Serres, Collins, Viveiros de Castro, CRISPR and just whatever… I have already heard stories of referees pushed towards accepting papers of dubious quality.Īgainst all odds I am making long-term plans: I accepted an invitation by my dear friend Aleksandar Ostojic to travel to Serbia next June 14th to discuss about science, philosophy, sociology, anthropology, and all that. Only note for now: one point that I think is missing is that paying to publish introduces the very dangerous principle that “truth” (whatever that is) can be bought in retail. Instead, I do not like at all superficial judgements on the scientific achievements of “China” and “India” – unless they get framed into a broader picture of scientific colonization.įinally, I also have strong opinions about “open access” policies and the way they are being promoted, but I will keep them for discussion. Personally, I am very sympathetic with many of their considerations, expecially those regarding the industrial practices of scientific publishers (I could add some experience of mine…), and the devaluation of pedagogical material. Indeed the range of opinions expressed there is quite wide, and not fully compatible one with another. It will definitely not pass as a “deliverable”, fulfilling milestones, GANTT charts and all that bullshit…įrom what I understand it is intended to spark an open discussion on scientific publishing based on personal testimonies, coming from people with very different responsibilities and roles (but common background). Some colleagues wrote a sort of opinion paper, mainly addressed to the StatPhys & Thereabouts community, to speak out their personal dislike for the current state of affairs in scientific publishing. “Time-dependent density functional theory of open quantum systems in the linear-response regime.” The Journal of chemical physics 134.7 (2011): 074116.
