“In my opinion, metric-based recognition without integrity screening can inadvertently legitimize problematic practices. That risk is particularly acute in environments where publication is tied to career progression but where research funding, infrastructure, and oversight remain weak. These conditions can – and often do – fuel paper mills, coercive citation policies, and other unethical behaviors.”
Maryam Sayab spoke to Frederik Joelving for Retraction Watch on Clarivate's involvement in Iraqi research awards being granted to individuals with known integrity concerns.
