i had to present a paper in reading group today. normally this is not a problem, but this paper was atrocious. so many typos and grammatical errors that it was hard to read, much less understand the science they were trying to present. halfway through the paper, all the references to figures in the paper were wrong. they referenced figure 3a when they should have said 4a and b. and they referenced figure 3c, which did not even exist. i think my favorite part was an axis of a figure that was supposed to read H2O/Ce but instead read H2eC/O. in a figure. there are all of ten words in a figure. how hard is it to make sure they're right? this particular figure caption also discussed part a of the figure but not part b. so now i'm wondering why i'm making such a big fuss to get my paper perfect before submission to a journal if they let crap like that get published.
