Sulle spalle di giganti di sabbia by Paolo Parra Saiani

“…The peer review process, which involves the judgement of external experts on the authenticity of a scientific article, is crucial for the credibility and reputation of published research: it not only filters knowledge but also legitimises it, helping to establish a boundary between science and non-science, as many have pointed out. Today, however, the peer review system is being challenged by two main phenomena: the introduction of quantitative evaluation criteria and the rise of new publishing groups with aggressive commercial practices are affecting the number of scientific publications, thus altering the balance that has historically ensured the credibility and quality of research.…”

Czy powinniśmy ingerować w to, czego nie rozumiemy? Uwagi o „nowym problemie demarkacji” by Mateusz Kotowski

“…The main reason for this caution in addressing what has been called the “new demarcation problem” — i.e. the problem of distinguishing between “legitimate” and “illegitimate” influences of values on science — stems from our inability to solve the “old” demarcation problem — i.e. the problem of distinguishing between science and non-science. Acknowledging our failure to resolve the latter is essentially an admission that we do not fully understand what science is. …”
