Recensioner i media

“MacDonald’s analysis is sobering, and her criticisms make good sense. The development of more specific normative claims for influencing policy, however, is traded for a more general petition … . The former, I presume, is a priority for future research.” (Anton Killin, Metascience, August 11, 2022)
