| Sure. To get you started... An imperfect measure is to just get a sense of where a countries top university is ranked. https://www.timeshighereducation.com/world-university-rankin... is one. US news is another. In all cases top Romanian institutions are all 500+ down the list. That is pretty bad. South Africa for example has much better universities (150 - 200 range) with UCT (and that's true - UCT has a good reputation). https://wenr.wes.org/2017/12/academic-fraud-corruption-and-i... https://www.plagiarismtoday.com/2012/07/02/the-plagiarism-in... Can I ask if you have lived or worked overseas (outside of core EU/US countries) US has issues in its for profit colleges and universities among others as well so it's not accurate that all US institutions are strong. I would have reacted the same way if I recognized a the article as being from a predatory journal (https://beallslist.weebly.com/) Note, I'm looking at the website as a whole, and the claims it is making. This includes endorsements by the BBC, endorsements by medical doctors, and "scientifically proven" "superfoods" that "dramatically decrease LDL-C, triglycerides, and total cholesterol while raising HDL-C" In each case I looked into the support was not great. In other words, this issue is about the supposedly unfair treatment of the site relative to other sources of medical and health knowledge. And my point here is that of the quick indicators I looked at, none looked that good. Can you not be bothered to look at the other points I made when evaluating the sites quality? |
