#publicationethics — Public Fediverse posts

I really enjoyed speaking on the ICSSI conference panel (icssi.org) on junk, fraud, retractions, and paper mills; we got lots of great questions and could have kept going all morning! Thanks to Daniel Larremore for the invite and especially Daniel Acuna for organising and chairing.

Here's an ICSSI talk close to my interests: @sjcporter of @digitalscience explains how to find networks of faking by authorship selling schemes.

They're sold on Telegram and Facebook etc. Shout out to @nickwizzo who keeps track of these adverts and the final published papers.

Last year, Scopus blitzed all links to journal websites from their profiles in a clumsy reaction to their data being infiltrated by journal hijackers, i.e., fraudsters who pose as a real journal.

Did it work? No. They're still indexing hijacked content, notes Anna Abalkina on Retraction Watch.
