A Lack of Ambition in Disaster Research?

Whilst doing some research for my next post on floods, I came across this extremely engaging post by John Twigg (2013) in his blog on disaster risk reduction:


I thought it was worth highlighting since it provides a refreshingly honest appraisal of some academic work and standards. Twigg suggests that the authors and the journal should seek greater ambition and quality in the work they are producing and publishing respectively. 

How true does this hold for other journals and fields? It would be interesting to hear your thoughts….
