      abstract     = {The journal in which a scientist publishes is considered
                      one of the most crucial factors determining their career.
                      The underlying common assumption is that only the best
                      scientists manage to publish in a highly selective tier of
                      the most prestigious journals. However, data from several
                      lines of evidence suggest that the methodological quality of
                      scientific experiments does not increase with increasing
                      rank of the journal. On the contrary, an accumulating body
                      of evidence suggests the inverse: methodological quality
                      and, consequently, reliability of published research works
                      in several fields may be decreasing with increasing journal
                      rank.The data supporting these conclusions circumvent
                      confounding factors such as increased readership and
                      scrutiny for these journals, focusing instead on
                      quantifiable indicators of methodological soundness in the
                      published literature, relying on, in part, semi-automated
                      data extraction from often thousands of publications at a
                      time. With the accumulating evidence over the last decade
                      grew the realization that the very existence of scholarly
                      journals, due to their inherent hierarchy, constitutes one
                      of the major threats to publicly funded science: hiring,
                      promoting and funding scientists who publish unreliable
                      science eventually erodes public trust in science.},
