Analysis of Published Journal Article on 8Cr13MoV Knives

[Larrin]

A new journal article was just published on sharpness of knives in 8Cr13MoV including the effects of processing of the steel. Despite being published in a peer reviewed journal, I found a lot to be disappointed in with the quality of the research. Find out why: https://knifesteelnerds.com/2019/09/09/new-study-on-catra-testing-of-8cr13mov/

Just asking what makes it a journal vs a website with some articles? A journal is normally by volume and in print for a fee, copies in the library, ect...

sadly - all scholarly publishing since a fairly long time now has been getting more and more ... laxidasial ... and often simply purely 'for-profit' without high integrity of peer review

it's a really big problem academia needs to seriously address, or all real credibility is out the window
this affects medicine and pharma quite seriously (and most fields really)

EDIT: here is one story about it - there are many others

Oh the irony when commenting on the lack of attention to intelligent details in the writing of others...

"laxidasial"??? <<OUCH>>

you realize that was intentional right? I do have spellcheck after all... I just thought I couldn't pass up the tongue-n-cheek joy of using it

lackadaisical
