Overview

Comprehensive examination of systemic suppression in scholarly work reveals barriers to critical voices and preprint moderation.

Key Points

  • Institutional gatekeeping prevents critical scholarly work from being published, leading to a lack of diverse perspectives in academia.
  • The analysis highlights that mainstream journals flood academia with conforming research, while excluding innovative works, contributing to systemic suppression.
  • A rigorous examination of peer review and preprint moderation shows that these gatekeeping mechanisms often operate under misleading notions of quality control.
  • Calls for genuinely open platforms for scholarly discourse indicate the need for reforms, promoting the publication of rigorous critiques against established norms.
