You're right - in science all work should be equally judged on its merit only, regardless of the names attached to it.Alan Winfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08263812573346115168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20402273.post-34607362868181684632010-10-29T12:53:47.097+01:002010-10-29T12:53:47.097+01:00This post is a good lesson to junior researchers b...This post is a good lesson to junior researchers because many of them keep in mind that it is easy to get a paper accepted in any conference/journal if there is a "big name"- a well-known person in a scientific community"- on the paper. <br />Your case is a good evidence showing that such thoughts are not true. I think the message " In science, everyone is equal" should be sent to all junior researchers. The belief encourages them to stand on their legs, instead under the shadow of someone else.<br /><br />On the one hand, I know you might take time to digest this result. On the other hand, I am sure that you receive more respect from people who have known you, your works, ever particpited in your lectures, and read your blog by this post.morelabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07439879047974736319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20402273.post-6188045829601427352010-10-29T10:10:07.747+01:002010-10-29T10:10:07.747+01:00This is a classic Prisoner's Dilemma.
