Still some way to go (long way I would say).

On April 18 (9:00 am PT, 18:00 pm CET), I'm delighted to give a virtual talk at the Metrics International Forum Stanford University. I'll be speaking on 'Paper mills: challenges, current understanding and unanswered questions'. Info about the link can be found here metrics.stanford.edu/metrics-intern…

🙏 Thanks to the anonymous readers who suggest new #TorturedPhrases to monitor: ‘attractive stirrer’ ⚗️ and ‘the taking after’. Both published in Scientific Reports, part of the nature portfolio. See for yourself: pubpeer.com/publications/7… and pubpeer.com/publications/6…

Found this article on IEEE Xplore. It contains 'Regenerate Response' (https:buff.ly/3PRXdsl). Guillaume Cabanac ⟨here and elsewhere⟩ mentioned this on @[email protected] in Aug'23 (buff.ly/3PTKrJV). The paper is still there and no responses on PubPeer. Do we just accept that nothing is being done?

Our first article on post-publication peer review has just been out! 🎉

Better nanoscience through open, collaborative, and critical discussions - now published in Materials Horizons NanoBubbles Maha Said Mustafa M.Gharib Raphael Lévy, Federico Boem

Now THAT is impact.

Encore plus ÉNORME!!! Du jamais vu je crois, un seul chercheur de l'IHU Méditerranée Infection reçoit près de 100 expressions of concerns sur ces articles. Beaucoup sont dans notre liste des 456 mentionnés dans RIPR Journal et Science Magazine

Toujours aucune intervention ou communication…

So MDPI goes from 34k papers to 260k in 5 years !!!

Some researchers had increase their productivity by a factor 8 in 5 years

This is really a good job dudes 🏆😃👏👏

Publish faster, publish everything, retract NOTHING.

Open-access paper on hyper-ambition in academia out today, with thought experiment of two academics: one considerate, one hyper-ambitious, plus likely outcomes. In short: #integrity measures without censure for bad behaviour won't get us far

🖼️ #GenerativeAI will soon flood the scientific literature with nonsensical-yet-colourful images 🍭: “figure seem[s] nice and clear” says Reviewer 3 😵 of this MDPI Pharmaceutics article, see pubpeer.com/publications/8… x.com/gcabanac/statu…

🖼️ Nonsensical use of the #Lenna image: captioned with “The effective popularity of DNS of Lawn, as a function of sampling rate” in a 2010 IEEE conference article 😵. Reported on @[email protected] pubpeer.com/publications/1…. IEEE ComputerSociety must retract formally x.com/arstechnica/st…

We are happy to announce our next workshop: Making scientific illustrations for papers with AI tools! You will learn how to use simple prompts to reduce the time you need to spend on preparing visuals for your papers. And focus on what is REALLY important - science itself!
