Peer reviewed journals - very demanding writing! I'm not talking about just one university either, I mean all of them. You do not even know what goes on at a University, much less hold a doctorate, so move your story over to the fiction section where it belongs, but add some punctuation before you do that.

I agree with your statement on the peer-review process. The latter was never an issue for me because I chose to enter the private sector shortly after graduation. As for the rest of your comment you are entitled to your own opinion of course. I recall however how people I had met during my student days from the departments of arts, humanities and social sciences could easily expand on paper and go on and on for stuff that I wish could be squeezed into an equation...
