Publicando em Economia: Graciela Chichilnisky
Como foi dito antes aqui, é muito difícil publicar em economia. Além do monopólio nos editorial boards dos journals, economistas têm que lutar contra seus peers, geralmente um bando de idiotas frustrados, recalcados invejosos cheios de maldade no coração, sem preparo para respeitar as idéias alheias. Vejam o que diz Graciela Chichilnisky, talvez a mulher mais importante na profissão: "In my experience, the more innovative and interesting the paper, the more likely it is to be rejected . Economics editors seldom read papers, and referees do not read them carefully either . People who do not publish very much sometimes become editors, and they can be unsympathetic to others who publish more than they do. It is also my impression that one's most direct competitors--or those people who for some reason feel competitive--are most likely to reject a paper or to inhibit its publication. "Inhibiting its publication" may be too polite an expression; on occasions it means they publish the paper or some of its results under their own names. It can border on plagiarism".
