Scientific journals release the results of scientific studies in the form of papers which, we are told are reviewed prior to publication by peers-- fellow scientists in the field who are supposed to scrutinize the manuscript and ensure that bad science doesn't get a pass.

The public discourse on predatory journals often errs on the side of simplicity. There are good journals, like Nature and Science, and there are predatory journals. The bad journals often come from developing nations.

I wash this back to the Scopes Monkey Trial, where it was decided that a Jury would determine what is taught as science. They have just replaced the jury of commoners with a jury of authorized experts.
The challenge is that science is an attempt to describe reality in a way that is organized and supports prediction. It has nothing to do with the approval of the 'right' scientists. Either it increases predictability or it does not.
