arxiv.org and the replication crisis prove peer review is a joke.
It makes my blood boil that when they do a meta analysis in clinical medicine they regularly reject 70% or more of the studies due to fundamental problems such as no control group (that study that failed to find vitamin C in the blood of COVID-19 patients but didn't test anybody else) or insufficient sample sizes.
Studies like that shouldn't be accepted for publication, in fact they shouldn't even get funded.
