Hvad er en (god) forskningspublikation?

How can research be distinguished from public debate or from nonsense? This question has kept arising in public debates about controversial research topics, for example in debates on Lomborg’s publications on climate and environmental sci-ence in the early 2000s, or, more recently, in debates on research on diversity and identity. This article will discuss how and by whom a distinction between research publications and other types of publications can be drawn.
