Introduction
The transition towards renewable energy sources necessitates the development of efficient and reliable energy storage systems. Among various storage technologies, lithium batteries have emerged as a pivotal solution due to their superior energy density, longer lifecycles, and versatility in applications ranging from portable electronics to electric vehicles and grid storage. This paper, co-authored by a diverse team including Prof. Li Wei, Dr. Zhang Jie, Dr. Chen Yu, Prof. Wang Feng, and Dr. Liu Huan, from leading Chinese institutions, presents a novel investigation into the advancements and potential of lithium battery technologies for energy storage.

We need systematized quality control of peer review. Problem is: Even peer review itself is underfunded (which is why the quality problems exist in the first place), so quality control is even less enforced.
I imagine that you would have some kind of organization that submits either fake articles written by authors in the field or introduces subtle mistakes in actual articles in collaboration with the researchers (for a fee) which will get revealed in the final version and serve as feedback to the reviewers and for quality ranking.
But of course this needs massive funding. Such a red teaming initiative could either come from the publishers or from governmental (and nongov) organizations (nih, EU-Grant, royal society)
Maybe this could be made attractive to publishers by selling it as a kind of auditing and introducing auditing scores which researchers can present in their CV.

>systematized quality control of peer review
faggots pay reviewers $0/hour when they can make $100-$200/hour doing consulting and complain that peer review is trash
nigga reading a paper and understand it to the point I can review it thoroughly and properly takes like 4-8 hours.
the only one who are doing the most peer review (and volunteerly) are more likely to be paid and bought so they can launder low quality trash or their echo chamber through the "scientific" process.

>underfunded
they do it for free, it's done on a voluntary basis.
I work in a weapons development adjacent field, and I was actually told by people at my funding agency to never give helpful feedback when peer reviewing papers with Chinese authors, since it's common practice for them to submit stuff just to try to fish for non-public information that would help their work from the reviewers. We let them publish it just to try to trick them into thinking their approach is correct.
Literally nobody in academia or industry trusts chinese papers anyway, including the chinese.

No citations = shit paper.
Also, anything from Chinese companies/research institutions (Chinese inventors working for American/European institutions are OK.) I'm not a Sinophobe, but holy fuck anything from CN is not reliable. And it can't be an Asian thing because Japanese research is actually decent.

The journal an article gets published in also matters.
Editorial standards fluctuate from "pretty good" to "non-existent."
I learned this the hard way during my PhD.
It also made me the racist I am today.

Right, but in the case of the vanity press at least the fee is paid by the one who's ego is being massaged by the publication, in science publishing the fees are paid taxpayers
