Brief follow-up on Peter Boghossian and human subjects research

 This is merely a brief follow-up observation to my earlier post this morning on Peter Boghossian's resignation and the Grievance Studies hoax.  Boghossian was dinged by Portland State for unauthorized human subjects research, but in a conversation this morning, I was reminded that some of the checks on psychology were conducted with phony submissions.  For example, in one famous study, the scholars took publications in top-tier journals, changed the names, and re-submitted the manuscripts to see what would happen.  Peters & Cici, "Peer Review Practices of Psychology Journals," from Behavioral & Brain Sciences June, 1982.  (Yeah, the problems are old.)  The manuscripts were almost uniformly rejected as fundamentally methodologically unsound, and rarely detected as resubmissions.  Were the scholars engaged in this type of endeavor getting human subjects approval for these studies?  I actually doubt it, in which case this would be a real case of selective enforcement against Boghossian for ideological reasons, and that would be an infringement on academic freedom.  This is a gigantic mess.
