“It is very rare for political scientists to have our results mentioned alongside results from the “hard” sciences. But that’s exactly what happened when the journal Science published the Green-LaCour article. That the article is fraudulent is a mild blow to the prestige of the discipline. Although I doubt it will have much impact on the NSF-funding issue, it surely doesn’t help the case that political scientists are trying to make to members of Congress.”
And yet, this fraudulent political science ‘research’ was published in Science. Why, of all the poly-science studies out there, do you suppose that Science was in such hot haste to publish and legitimize this one?
Why does Science hate science so much? It’s also no accident that the errors they make only lead one direction.
