Bad science persists because poor methods are rewarded 10 years ago
Yea, because it is really all the overworked and underpaid graduate students faults... I have never met a single graduate student who rushed to publish shoddy work on his/her own. However, I have watched time and again while young impressionable graduate students are slowly but surely guided to publish shoddy work by overworked and desperate professors who feel they have no choice but to keep getting "academic currency" (e.g. publications).
