The video is about how easy it is to get a peer reviewed study in the social and gender study fields. Its absolutely ridiculous. If you want to find a peer reviewed study on why I can identify as a lesbian lumberjack unicorn crossdresser then you can, if you can't find it you can write your own and it will be reviewed If it's the video I'm thinking of, then they just submitted to a journal where you pay to be published. This is typically why actual peer-review is important, because people will attempt to replicate your study to verify the results. This is how that doctor that kick-started the current anti-vaxx movement got exposed. They couldn't verify his results, they looked at his method, and they found out he lied his ass off. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_scientific_journals Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That's the part that weeds out the bullshit over time. You may get your bullshit through, but it typically won't stick around so long as it's something other scientists are currently studying.
