How does the UK Academic Journal Guide compare to other journal rating guides
I investigate how different academic subjects are rated in the UK Academic Journal Guide (AJG) in comparison with other guides for evaluating the quality of business-related journals. I use appropriate non-parametric statistical methods to allow for the different journal rating systems in use worldwide. I compare the AJG ratings with both an average measure of academic journal quality derived from all the other guides and the ratings in each indi…
Macedonia’s Long Transition
This book provides a broad, interdisciplinary analysis of events impacting on North Macedonia since its independence, particularly during the last decade.
The problem of tropospheric temperature trend measurements for global climate models
The troposphere temperature controversy concerns an empirical problem facing global climate models (GCMs), that the (tropical) troposphere is not warming as fast as predicted by these models according to observations made by a group of climate scientists – John Christy and colleagues – located at the University of Alabama Huntsville (UAH). Elizabeth Lloyd argues that the UAH data, which conflict with GCM predictions, have been definitively discre…
Explicating Exact versus Conceptual Replication
What does it mean to replicate an experiment? A distinction is often drawn between ‘exact’ (or ‘direct’) and ‘conceptual’ replication. However, in recent work, Uljana Feest argues that the notion of replication in itself, whether exact or conceptual, is flawed due to the problem of systematic error, and Edouard Machery argues that, although the notion of replication is not flawed, we should nevertheless dispense with the distinction between exact…

Macedonia's Long Transition
Rebuttal to Douglas and Elliott
In “Should We Strive to Make Science Bias‐Free? A Philosophical Assessment of the Reproducibility Crisis”, I argue that the problem of bias in science, a key factor in the current reproducibility crisis, is worsened if we follow Heather Douglas and Kevin C. Elliott’s advice and introduce non-epistemic values into the evidential assessment of scientific hypotheses. In their response to my paper, Douglas and Elliott complain that I misrepresent the…
Should We Strive to Make Science Bias-Free? A Philosophical Assessment of the Reproducibility Crisis
Recently, many scientists have become concerned about an excessive number of failures to reproduce statistically significant effects. The situation has become dire enough that the situation has been named the ‘reproducibility crisis’. After reviewing the relevant literature to confirm the observation that scientists do indeed view replication as currently problematic, I explain in philosophical terms why the replication of empirical phenomena, su…
The Reality of Jean Perrin's Atoms and Molecules
Jean Perrin’s proof in the early-twentieth century of the reality of atoms and molecules is often taken as an exemplary form of robustness reasoning, where an empirical result receives validation if it is generated using multiple experimental approaches. In this article, I describe in detail Perrin’s style of reasoning, and locate both qualitative and quantitative forms of argumentation. Particularly, I argue that his quantitative style of reason…

The New Politics of Old Age Policy
"As the average age of the U.S. population continues to increase, age-related policies have come under intense scrutiny, sparking heated debates. In the past, older people were seen as a frail, dependent population, but major policies enacted or expanded on their behalf have made them major players in electoral and interest-group politics. This thoroughly revised an updated edition of Robert B. Hudson's The New Politics of Old Age Policy not only…

Affective Landscapes
This essay examines, in Ben Highmore's words, the implications of “a materialist turn towards the immaterial, towards affect, towards thinglyness, the senses” and how this might be determined by “the social world that produced them.” In viewing the “social,” or “sociocultural,” as always affective, and in viewing the significance of landscape in terms of how people define themselves and their relations to the world, this essay explores affect's k…

Determinants of emergency response willingness in the local public health workforce by jurisdictional and scenario patterns
Response willingness deficits in the local public health workforce pose a threat to all-hazards response capacity and health security. Local public health agencies and their stakeholders may incorporate key findings, including identified scenario-based willingness gaps and the importance of efficacy, as targets of preparedness curriculum development efforts and policies for enhancing response willingness. Reasons for an increased willingness in r…

Songs of seduction
In Serbia, culture is never far removed from politics. When writing about the relationship between politics and folklore, the Serbian ethnologist Ivan * olovi ' commented that Serbian politics is saturated with folklore and that, from the late 1980s, every political leader, without exception, every political programme and every political battle made reference to folkloric texts that resorted to a raft of traditional clichés. The main vehicle for …

Mesosomes
Culp (1994) provides a defense for a form of experimental reasoning entitled ‘robustness’. Her strategy is to examine a recent episode in experimental microbiology—the case of the mistaken discovery of a bacterial organelle called a ‘mesosome’—with an eye to showing how experimenters effectively used robust experimental reasoning (or could have used robust reasoning) to refute the existence of the mesosome. My plan is to criticize Culp's assessme…

Discoveries, When and By Whom?
Thomas Kuhn (in The Structure of Scientific Revolutions) and Alan Musgrave (in 'Why Did Oxygen Supplant Phlogiston?') argue that it is impossible to precisely date discovery events and precisely identify discoverers. They defend this claim mainly on the grounds that so-called discoverers have in many cases misconceived the objects of discovery. In this paper, I argue that Kuhn and Musgrave arrive at their view because they lack a substantive acco…

The Persisting Osler III
Considering his enduring contributions, it would seem unnecessary to have to identify Sir William Osler, especially to health professionals—yet to discover the discouraging truth, you need only ask a few physician friends or medical students who the man was and why he remains important to medicine. Osler was a Canadian physician whose life spanned the turn of the twentieth century with academic appointments at the universities of McGill, Pennsylv…

Carnap, the Principle of Tolerance, and Empiricism
Kurt Gödel criticizes Rudolf Carnap's conventionalism on the grounds that it relies on an empiricist admissibility condition, which, if applied, runs afoul of his second incompleteness theorem. Thomas Ricketts and Michael Friedman respond to Gödel's critique by denying that Carnap is committed to Gödel's admissibility criterion; in effect, they are denying that Carnap is committed to any empirical constraint in the application of his principle of…
