Has this always been a thing?

I just got an email from a scientific journal publisher, informing me that an article of mine from 2024 was “among the most viewed articles” (in 2025, of the articles published in 2024).

And I mean, OK, I'll take it, but I'm sitting here wondering: is this something new, or has it been going around for a while and I just haven't heard of it? Are they really trying to get authors to publish with them with such “dopamine hit”?

I knew that sites like academia.edu and researchgate.net were trying to go the way of “social media for researchers” but this is the first time I see something like that from a more “serious” publisher.

CIDRAP: Review uncovers rising rate of fake references in published biomedical papers. “A systematic review published yesterday in The Lancet reveals that of 97.1 million verified references in published biomedical papers, 4,046 were likely fake, with rates of fabrication rising 12-fold from 2023 through 2025—which commentators call a disturbing discovery that highlights the need to improve […]

This paper explores the fascinating phenomenon of “zombie journals” – journals that continue to exist after their editorial boards resign and launch rival “breakaway journals.”

:doi: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.respol.2026.105519

Using cases from linguistics and bibliometrics, the study shows that journal brands can survive institutional crises, but often with dramatically changed author communities, citation patterns, and academic identities.

Some weeks ago I accepted a review request from a prestige journal (in a small field). I found the abstract interesting, but had hesitations due to poor experience with editorial process as an author with this journal, and since it was an El$evier journal (which I try to avoid doing free work for).

Now the deadline review is approaching, and the study was less interesting than assumed, has no data available, poor transparency, typos that should have been weeded out in the review process, and I'm regretting my decision. I will fortify my review policy for the future!

Supply Dies in Irrelevance

As users stop going to publisher-driven platforms for information and begin asking AI agents to bring those search results to them, the power structure and value proposition of the industry changes. That is the thesis at the heart of this piece by Michael Cairns, originally published on his blog.

And each one requires me to fill out a new info sheet before allowing me to do free labor. There's a hell of a lot wrong with modern #AcademicPublishing and ranking peer reviewers around is near the top of the list
