AND an improvement in integrity education, and the main one - a change in the incentive structure within academia. As long as we equate citations with “quality”, there will be publication manipulation. Here endeth the lesson.

I’m done here, I don’t want anything to do with what this platform represents anymore. Find me on BlueSky https://t.co/8q7Bhejg8a

🚨Apparently all NIH Study Sections have been suspended indefinitely. For those who don’t know, this means there won’t be any review of grants submitted to NIH Depending on how long this goes on for, this could lead to an interruption in billions in research funding.

I hope this doesn't come across as a whine, we have come SO FAR in the last couple of years, but there is still such a long way to go, and despite our best efforts, fraud (or at least attempted fraud) feels to be on the increase.

Einstein Foundation awards to Elisabeth Bik and Pubpeer. Yay!

I’m on the other one (🟦🌌) now too, I expect to be winding down my X activity

Excited to be speaking at this event on Thursday 21st on how to handle suspected cases of paper mills. It will be super interactive and will test your brain! #ResearchIntegrity #papermills

For #PeerReviewWeek this week, we released over 1,600 historical peer review reports on our #ScienceInTheMaking platform for the years 1949-1954, a significant period that marked the arrival of female scientists into the refereeing process. Read more on our blog:

Other things we've introduced include: - anonymous peer review - publication of reviews with the article - reviewer feedback programme - co-review - free, detailed reviewer training As Publishers and Editors we have a responsibility.

At @ioppublishing we're working hard to make bad-mannered reviews a thing of the past. Among other things), we have dedicated, internal Editors who screen out problematic comments BEFORE they get to authors #PeerReviewWeek #PeerReviewWeek24 https://t.co/EhoxlXajZY

some compassion to peer review. The most helpful reviews are not those that say yes, but those that constructively engage with the work. We help reviewers make the right kind of impact on a paper, because behind every paper is a person https://t.co/EhoxlXaRPw #PeerReviewWeek 2/2

Sadly there are times when a reviewer report crosses my desk and I’m struck by the thoughtlessness of how things are phrased. We’ve all had negative feedback but there’s a way to position things without tearing someone down. I’m super proud of @IOPPublishing’s work to bring 1/2

What comes first — metadata standards uptake or infrastructure? @roohighosh, David Haber @ASMicrobiology, @EggletonKim, @lyconrad, and Scholastica's @Djpadula5 will explore that question during an upcoming #NISOPlus24 Conference session. Learn more: https://t.co/dUg2sy0xzl

Everyone's talking about Sakana's AI scientist. But no-one's answering the big question: is its output good? I spent hours reading its generated papers and research logs. Read on to find out https://t.co/2c6TyE9zPQ

.@hotelsdotcomuk awful experience with a property advertised on your site. How do I register an official complaint please?

Just stopping by your timeline in case you didn’t know that the Chief Science Advisors for Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States - are all women 🔥

lol who did this

In order to get a true representation of each country’s athletic skill, the Olympics should randomly select citizens to compete like it’s jury duty: Who’s next on the balance beam for the US? Is it Simone Biles? Nope it’s 39yo electrician, Dale. Wow he does 𝘯𝘰𝘵 look confident
