Well most of the time I don't trust the integrity of academic journals too . We just need to be professional text readers and evaluate what is real or not according to our intellectual limits.

Yes, but many people don't even possess the self-confidence to trust their own judgement which is why so many defer to authority instead. I guess that could also be a symptom of laziness. It's a shame, either way.
And the problems with academic journals are just as alarming... Once you realize how the sausage is made, in it's current state. Right now scholarship and how it is done requires mass reform if it doesn't want to push itself into obsolescence.
