But it's not a scholarly journal. Things that get published in it do not have to adhere to the rigors that have to be maintained when trying to get a pub in a scholarly periodical.

Hope this helps.

I can't be blamed for your own lack of clarity. Clearly, you are dismissive to whatever degree of PSYCHOLOGY TODAY as a reliable source of information. You come back and act as if I jumped to some kind of outrageous conclusion.

Here's exactly what you said:

PSYCHOLOGY TODAY is not a scholarly periodical. It's a popular magazine aimed at untrained readers.

You clearly imply some kind of deficiency in its quality of information. I didn't mistake anything.

In the other topic, you expressed a distrust of big business. I countered that big business builds our economy, and provides jobs and benefits to tens of millions.

Hope this helps.
