Gold, GlittersAbstract
Scientific journals are the cornerstone of evidencebased practice,shaping clinical decisions, policy development, and future research directions. The integrity
of published research heavily relies on robust editorial
oversight and a rigorous peer-review process. These
systems are intended to act as quality filters, ensuring
methodologicalrigor, ethical compliance, and scientific
accuracy before findings reach a global audience.
When these standards are not met, flawed studies can
mislead practitioners, misinform public health initiatives, and erode trust in academic publishing.
