The ramifications of this The Sydney Morning Herald story on medical research are v. concerning. Once misinformation is published, even if retracted, it still exists to be quoted and requoted. Tks to Danielle Oste & Prof Jennifer Byrne 🧬 for yr work. smh.com.au/national/the-s…

This is about 6 hours of seismic data recorded on the Galapagos Islands. The last sharpest sound is the April 3 02:02 UTC M5.1 off-coast of Ecuador quake, whereas the preceding sound train are different seismic waves from the M7.4 quake in Taiwan that occurred 2 hours earlier.

When a papermill boasted how they could increase Google Scholar citations and showed their working, Reese Richardson and I decided to try for ourselves. Introducing Larry Richardson, a cat with a Google Scholar profile and an h-index of 11. reeserichardson.blog/2024/07/18/eng…

RIP Larry's h-index, all of his citations have been removed by Google Scholar. Clients of the papermill who received citations by the same method still have them, so this is a gross act of ailurophobia. scholar.google.com/citations?user…

I have spent the last year working on this investigation, looking at private biobanks where people can store their child's umbilical cord blood (and the #stemcells they contain) You can read it now The BMJ A thread of what I found 🧵 bmj.com/content/386/bm…

I really enjoyed talking to Reese Richardson and Nick Wise about how they made Larry the world’s most highly cited cat. My latest for News from Science: science.org/content/articl…

Larry Richardson appeared to be an early-career mathematician with potential, racking up more than 130 citations in 4 years. It would all be rather remarkable—if the studies weren’t complete gibberish. And Larry wasn’t a cat. scim.ag/7Sp

It's terrible that it's so easy to fake citations that even a cat can get a double-digit h-index. But what can be done? In #ScienceAdviser, I ask the experts from News from Science piece on Larry: science.org/content/articl… (plus more of the best from Science Magazine and science!)

Luck, skill, and inequality inform the results of head-to-head competitions. Max Jerdee, from the University of Michigan, speaks today at SFI on modeling the depths of paired competitions to better understand hierarchy and the opportunities for underdogs to come out on top. Stream live at

Our paper just got covered by nature. We went under cover and contacted a "citation boosting" service. We managed to buy citations that appeared in a Scopus-indexed journal, providing conclusive evidence that citations can be bought in bulk!! nature.com/articles/d4158…
