Retracted articles in Wikidata (~22k) now visualized in Scholia: why they're cited and their impact on research. Egon Willighagen's presentation uses Retraction Watch data via the Crossref REST API. https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.17013354

Survey of 813 scientists finds that Bluesky is the more useful social media platform for professional scientists. As anecdotal support, this journal article itself is references by 2731 Bluesky users and has 43 X posts (Altmetrics data, when posting this). #sciencesky #academicsky #science

Interesting article on the "Network Society" published in #QSS. A theory that I was interested in when I was a student. Just a minor issue, the authors say, "Manuel Castells was born in Catalonia." However, I believe it is an error. He was born in Hellín, Castilla-La Mancha. doi.org/10.1162/qss_...

📢 Transparency in AI use in academia is urgently needed. In this blog post, @serhiinazarovets.bsky.social, Natalia Tsybuliak, Jaime A. Texeira da Silva & @yanasychikova.bsky.social introduce GAIDeT - a practical taxonomy for declaring AI use in research. www.leidenmadtrics.nl/articles/gai...

We are on the cusp of AGI, definitely for real

Did you know we’re in the process of creating and establishing a reporting guideline for bibliometric analysis? Items in the list are based on evidence from the literature and expert opinion and now we’re looking for pilot participants to test the guideline’s real-world usefulness in making… (1/2)

Excellent news piece in @nature.com providing an overview of ongoing discussions about the organization of peer review in funding allocation and scientific publishing doi.org/10.1038/d415.... @rorinstitute.bsky.social @cwts.nl

Project "Scientific Fraud in Academic Publications" is looking for candidates for a predoctoral contract on bilbiometrics and research integrity. Trained in Information Science or other social disciplines. We offers four years, internships, academic career, and international projection. Córdoba ES.

Some of the data is now quoted in the news article and we're working on a blog post to share some more detailed analysis. For now, have a look at how the APCs of the 199 most popular journals of NIH authors in 2025 would not be covered by the proposed $2,000 and $3,000 caps.

A few months ago, Nature published how-to guide for using ChatGPT to write your peer reviews in 30 minutes. This is, of course, a horrible idea. Here’s my response with @jbakcoleman.bsky.social .

Two websites, one journal. The Journal of Informetrics has been hijacked. This is not just any journal, it's a well-known title published by Elsevier. More journals from reputable publishers are being hijacked since recently. Guess which screenshot belongs to the original journal? HT: Paul Donner

AI is transforming peer review — and many scientists are worried. Artificial intelligence software is increasingly involved in reviewing papers, provoking interest and unease. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Nature adopta un modelo de revisión por pares abierto

The trend is still in Bluesky's favour. X is still larger but very regularly Bluesky easily eclipses it in terms of research being shared. Linda Yaccarino claimed X had 600m users in April. Bluesky has 36m accounts created in total.

Remember when MDPI used questionable practices to siphon traffic from big five publishers’ journals? Never thought I’d see the shoe on the other foot.

Supporting Scientific Data | A Guide for Researchers I'm writing up the guidance and recommendations that I have put together after almost a decade of supporting research data management. Putting this out there because why not and to put pressure on myself to finish up the remaining chapters.

New blogpost by my colleagues Sebastian Netscher, Farah Karim and Jana Meichsner about the future of DOI registration for datasets: blog.gesis.org/consolidatin... #rdm #researchdata #FAIRdata

Im more amazed that some repositories said they werent getting hammered by AI bots coar-repositories.org/news-updates...

The paper in Profesional de la Información raises further concerns: its DOI, apparently recently registered by the journal’s previous owner, not the current one, shows conflicting metadata in Crossref.

🚨 New study reveals that when used to summarize scientific research, generative AI is nearly five times less accurate than humans. Many haven't realized, but Gen AI's accuracy problem is worse than initially thought.
