too perfect that she studies helminths and is herself a parasitic tapeworm on the body of accumulated knowledge that was once called Scholarship...time for some ivermectin!

I am an associate editor with two Q1 journals and the rot is much deeper. In one journal none of the editors-in-chief have a degree or any interest in what the journal is about. In addition to being lefties, they are simply ignorant. They are at stage 2 in Dunning Kruger and make sure most contributions are, too. The first two years, I desk-rejected everything. It was pure rubbish. Then I sent out stuff because I thought I might be too demanding. The reviewers, always a number cruncher and a content expert, als thought everything was rubbish. Academics publish not because they have ideas but because they need publications in top journals.
