So I just read this
How To Publish A Scientific Comment in 1 2 3 Easy Steps | PDF | Scientific Method | Science
And this opened up a whole lot of questions for me since I am studying to go into research, and I wanted to know the opinion of those of us here who are/were scientists and if there really some degree of problem scientific misconduct in the current system of publishing

Ok, so a lot of you just said that the system isn't immune to human elements, and so this is what explains situations such as the one linked to.
I feel this isn't really fact worth noting. It is like saying that a plan crashed because of gravity, or that the 2008 crash was caused by human greed.
The reality is that in both of those cases, the accident was caused by a mulfunction in the system. What I'm asking is, is the publishing system mulfunctional, or broken ? And should the recommendations made by Trebino be applied ?
