The Researcher to Reader (R2R) conference at the start of this week featured a debate on the proposition “The venue of its publication tells us nothing useful about the quality of a paper”. I’ve already posted Toby Green’s opening statement for the proposition and Pippa Smart’s opening statement against it. Now here is my (shorter) response in favour of the motion, which is supposed to be a response specifically to Pippa’s opening sttement
