Fake Variables in research
author
Abstract:
In each journal, the editorial board receives many articles but more than 70% of them are rejected. This happens because there is no real correlation among the variables in these articles or the variables and perceived relations are fake, which means playing with the variables nonexistent in reality. This rejection occurs mainly as a result of the researchers' misinterpretation of the interdisciplinary studies, their having no expertise in the subject, their paying no attention to co-authorship in different disciplines, and their being fond of the statistical outputs. Furthermore, these researchers have no real acceptable and sensible idea and no valid variable, think in isolate space, have few partners, lack the necessary motivation for research, and have hesitation in delivering their paper, and so on. To conclude, the researchers must concentrate more on the recognition of the differences between aim, necessity and profit, and the importance of prioritization.
