Well, that's eye-opening. So the rot seems to have reached materials science?


I've been in the community 5yrs now. And I've seen a little bit of everything.

This is my favorite one so far:

    A, B, C write paper, submit to his pal D.
    D appoints E,F,G as reviewers.
    C, and E were in school together.
    F was a C student.
    G sends the paper back to C to auto-review it. 
    C cannot be bothered, so delegates the review back to A.
    A reviews his first name paper.

    (poor phd student B doesn't even know)
yay peer review!
