  1. Another reason to distrust journal-based citation metrics: "Suspected #papermill articles…cited – and were cited by – other suspected paper mill articles…The resulting citations…measurably inflated journal citation metrics." www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... #Citations #JIF #ScholComm

  2. Another reason to distrust journal-based citation metrics:

    "Suspected #papermill articles…cited – and were cited by – other suspected paper mill articles and appeared in journals previously reported as paper mill targets. The resulting citations from suspected paper mill articles measurably inflated journal citation metrics."

    [For almost 300 years – from 1709 to 2004 – Penicuik and district was producing high-quality paper which went out all over the world; Walter Scott’s Waverley novels and Robert Louis Stevenson’s notebooks were printed on Penicuik paper, and Turner painted on it too.]

    Indeed a collegial decision making, from the setup of panels to their debates and the final decision, matters even more than the criteria used to evaluate science and scientists.

    Still, it's good that the criteria are not reduced to a #bibliometric measure—this leads to crazy #paperMill systems.

    I'm not sure though the evolutions described for #Spain are nearly enough, that's just adding other sources of "bonus points" on a #bibliometry driven basis.

  10. #Nature reports that an unpublished analysis would indicate that in last two decades more than 400,000 research articles have been incorporated into corpus of #Science that show strong textual similarities with known studies produced by #PaperMills

    Of these,about 70,000 were published last year alone.Analysis estimates that 1.5% to 2% of all articles published in 2022 closely resemble #PaperMill works. Limited to articles on #Biology and #Medicine,rate goes up to 3%.
