Comment on Another Award Scam? The International Research Promotion Council by Dave Langers

0

No value? The fact that you go through the trouble to reply suggests otherwise, Toniva.
That notwithstanding, an argument based on authority alone should have zero value in science, I agree. That is why I am happy to see explanations in close to all of these blog posts why certain publishers are not recommended. Arguments are valuable. Still, anyone is free to weight them differently and disagree.
For instance, I disagree that there is no legitimate need for research promotion. I do agree that an obscure award in a special journal is not helping much. I do not have an opinion about whether the motivation behind that e-mail are sincere: perhaps it is a scam, or perhaps this prize is hoped to become a little cousin to the Nobel prize?
The ability to discuss is probably most valuable.
