#publicationethics — Public Fediverse posts

Here's a blog post by @serhii & @Maryna_Nazarovets that I commissioned, lightly edited, and made a figure for, on how university journals can avoid having too narrow networks.

@Dalmeet reports on Russia honouring foreign researchers, including a Spanish chemist who was suspended by his university.

Thanks Russia! This is a handy list of discredited researchers:

Please get your influenza vaccination.
Please get your coronavirus booster jab.

Please accept every vaccine available to you at recommended intervals.
If you’re anti-vaxx, then go look up side effects for the pathogens you don’t mind harbouring.
I’ll wait.

You all… it has started 😱

What should I do if I suspect one of the journal reviews I got is Al-generated?

@tedpavlic I'm sure it's not the intention - indeed they add a cautionary note - but this kind of advice leads to HARKing & other questionable research practices that massage research into a neat narrative.

It's the antithesis of #OpenScience practices like #RegisteredReports. You should start with a research question, a summary of what is known, & then the methods. Post-hoc theorising must be declared. It keeps you honest.
