#scientificjournals — Public Fediverse posts

#Scientificjournals are facing a #crisis as #AIgeneratedcontent floods #submissions. This #AIslop includes fraudulent papers with fabricated data, images, and citations, making it difficult to discern genuine research. The problem is exacerbated by “paper mills” selling fake papers and the use of AI tools to generate submissions and peer reviews. https://www.theatlantic.com/science/2026/01/ai-slop-science-publishing/685704/?eicker.news #tech #media #news

Which journal would you recommend to publish a review on the topic of #CognitiveMaps?
Criteria: non-profit, open access, good reputation

#ScientificJournals #OpenAccess #Neuroscience #Psychology #CognitiveMap

I will never understand why the authors of a manuscript that they post on a preprint server spontaneously decide that it will be better for whoever reads their manuscript to have not only all the figures at the end, but also separated from the legends?

WHY 😭

(Same question for papers sent to review btw. Most journals allow for the format of your choice for the first submission. WHY not make it a nice, easily readable format??)

The US administration is coming for #ScientificJournals now.. I don't have access to the full article, and it's in French, but several journals have received a "questioning" mail from the Columbia district state attorney, and two journals have suspended submissions (Environmental Health Perspectives (EHP) and the Journal of Health and Pollution (JHP)) citing federal funding cuts.

L’administration Trump s’attaque aux revues savantes

Next step: destroying published papers? We should all probably archive as much of the scientific literature as we can before it's too late..

Looking into #ScienceAdvances as a journal to publish in..
Why is there a reference limit, and why is it so low (80 references)? In this day and age? For an online-only journal?
