Do you know what it takes to have an article peer reviewed and published in a scientific journal? These are traditionally written by experts in their respective fields after extensive studies on the topic.

A HUGE key phrase here is "peer review"! Dozens to much more articles and studies are rejected for every one accepted. Just because the author(s) is/are a doctor or have their masters degree doesn't give them passage into a respected peer review journal.
