Innate Tendency

Peer reviewed scientific publishing is critical for communicating important findings, interpretations and theories in any branch of science. While the value of peer review is rarely doubted, much concern is being raised about the possible biases in the process. I argue here that most of the biases originate in the evolved innate tendency of every player to optimize one’s own cost benefits. Different players in the scientific publishing game have different cost-benefit optima. There are multiple conflicts between individual optima and collective goals. An analysis of the cost-benefit optima of every player in the scientific publishing game shows how and why biases originate. In the current system of publishing, by optimization considerations, the probability of publishing a ‘bad’ manuscript is relatively small but the probability of rejecting a ‘good’ manuscript is very high. By continuing with the current publishing structure, the global distribution of the scientific community would be increasingly clustered. Publication biases by gender, ethnicity, reputation, conformation and conformity will be increasingly common and revolutionary concepts increasingly difficult to publish. Ultimately, I explore the possibility of designing a peer review publishing system in which the conflicts between individual optimization and collective goal can be minimized. In such a system, if everyone behaves with maximum selfishness, biases would be minimized and the progress towards the collective goal would be faster and smoother. Changing towards such a system might prove difficult unless a critical mass of authors take an active role to revolutionize scientific publishing.

Equity And Inclusion

El artículo aborda los problemas de equidad e inclusión en la educación superior en Chile desde una perspectiva que se sitúa más próxima al campo de la sociología de la Educación. Desde allí la perspectiva teórica que sirve de marco orientador del estudio se plantea la posibilidad de comprensión de los fenómenos sociales desde las creencias y acciones de los sujetos. También se asume que el logro de la justicia en una sociedad determinada y en la educación en particular, trasciende a la distribución equitativa de recursos y requiere que los actores educativos, caracterizados por una mayor diversidad, se reconozcan mutuamente unos a otros como lo plantean los teóricos del reconocimiento (Honneth, 2010).Palabras clave: Equidad, inclusión, educación superior, creencias, reconocimiento.Diversidade Cultural e Equidade em Faculdades privadas com Projeto de InclusãoO artigo aborda os problemas de Equidade e Inclusão no ensino superior no Chile desde uma perspectiva que se situa mais próxima ao campo da sociologia da Educação. A partir daí, a perspectiva teórica que serve de marco orientador do estudo, manifesta a possibilidade de compreensão dos fenômenos sociais, desde as crenças e ações dos sujeitos. Também se entende que o logro da justiça numa sociedade determinada e na educação em particular, transcende a distribuição equitativa de recursos e requer que os atores educacionais, caracterizados por uma maior diversidade, reconheçam-se mutuamente uns aos outros como expressam os teóricos do reconhecimento (Honneth, 2010).Palavras-chave: Equidade, Inclusão, ensino superior, crenças, reconhecimento.Cultural diversity and equity in private universities withinclusion projectThe article discusses the issues of equity and inclusion in higher educationin Chile from a perspective closest to the field of sociology of education.Based on that, the theoretical perspective that serves as a guiding frameworkof the study provides the possibility of understanding social phenomenafrom individual beliefs and actions. It is also assumed that the achievementof justice in a given society and in education in particular transcends theequitable distribution of resources. It requires that educational actors,characterized as more diverse, are mutually recognized, as it is suggestedby recognition theorists (Honneth, 2010).Keywords: Equity, inclusion, higher education, beliefs, recognition.

Retraction Notice

The article entitled “Improved Level Set Segmentation Algorithm Based on Kernel Fuzzy Particles Swarm Optimization (KFPSO) Clustering for MRI Images”, by G. Elaiyaraja, P. Epsiba, N. Kumaratharan and G. Suresh, has been retracted. Kindly see Bentham Science Policy on Article retraction at the link given below: (https://www.benthamscience.com/journals/current-medical-imaging/author-guidelines/). This article has been retracted on the request of the Editor. The authors have plagiarized a paper that had already been published in the journal Current Medical Imaging (CMIM) (Formerly: Current Medical Imaging Reviews) 14(3), Page: 389-400. http://www.eurekaselect.com/149444. It is a pre-requisite for authors to declare explicitly that their work is original and has not been published elsewhere. Authors are advised to properly cite the original source to avoid plagiarism and copyright violation. As such this article represents a severe abuse of the scientific publishing system.
