Casey praises the editors of The International Journal of Design & Nature and Ecodynamics : Quote | I have no doubt that the editors of International Journal of Design & Nature and Ecodynamics will take much heat for publishing this paper. Even though they make it clear that "[t]he reader should not assume that the Journal or the reviewers agree with the conclusions of the paper," they should be commended for their courage in publishing it it and calling it a "a valuable contribution that challenges the conventional vision that systems can design and organise themselves." They write, "The Journal hopes that the paper will promote the exchange of ideas in this important topic" -- showing that there is hope for true academic freedom on the debate over ID in some corners of the scientific community. |
Sorry to break your bubble, Casey, but this vanity journal publishes mostly articles by members of its editorial board, so clearly they agree with what they publish. For instance, the issue carrying McIntosh's paper has 6 articles. 4 of them are coauthored by editors and members of the editorial board, McIntosh among them. I doubt that any university wastes money on a subscription. Mine doesn't.
