The process of scientific quality control is changing fast. We're seeing this change up close in high-res at Clear Skies. There are 2 really distinct processes in how research integrity is assessed in Oversight. clearskiesadam.medium.com/research-int...

Aries and @clearskiesadam.bsky.social have partnered to offer publishers an innovative, data-driven solution that empowers Editors to detect paper mill activity and support research integrity: bit.ly/4hVlNFb

Who wants millions of dollars? And what's the difference between facts and truth? Read the latest blog post to find out! medium.com/p/79d6b74c31e2

@sainsburys.bsky.social Thank you for the puzzle included with my bottle of whisky. It was fun. I'd appreciate it if the puzzle could be sold separately, though, otherwise it creates the wrong impression when you give someone a gift. Wishing you a splendid Xmas.

What is the first rule of research integrity? Here's how we analyse references to maintain the integrity of the scholarly literature. medium.com/@clearskiesa...

Over the last few months, this post has risen to become the most viewed post on the blog. Must be something good in there! clearskiesadam.medium.com/oversight-in...

The ClearSkies Oversight tool (@clearskiesadam.bsky.social) and the STM Integrity Hub (@stmassoc.bsky.social) help us detect potential papermill submissions, while iThenticate screens all our papers for possible plagiarism issues. 8/10

Help! What do I do?! Daughter just said "Daddy what's for dinner? Mummy, I don't want you to cook."

Who wants research integrity? Just did some updates to our website. Take a look! clear-skies.co.uk (feedback welcome!)

Adam @clearskiesadam.bsky.social brought this post to my attention and he does a good job of explaining the weaknesses and strengths in the current state of GenAI detection in the text of papers. clearskiesadam.medium.com/genai-detect...

Thrilled to announce Clear Skies' collaboration with Imagetwin. The best in early warning coupled with the best in image analysis. It's a perfect synergy! imagetwin.ai/posts/imaget...

Great news for Clear Skies' subscribers. GenAI detection that actually works! clearskiesadam.medium.com/genai-detect...

Why is it called Clear Skies? medium.com/p/2182d8928389

I am currently trapped. My daughter has explained to me that I can't go in the living room because there's a pterodactyl sleeping in there. I'm really torn about what to do. What if she's right?

Lot's of practical insights and visual examples to digest here from @clearskiesadam.bsky.social #researchintegrity - let us know if you'd like to hear and see more after reading this! www.linkedin.com/posts/adrian...

In our latest blog post from ORIGINal Thoughts, author and Clear Skies CEO Adam Day @clearskiesadam.bsky.social reflects on his early experience with misconduct cases, what he’s learned since, and how editors can respond to the growing threat of papermills. www.kwglobal.com/blog/the-pap...

Highly interactive and informative breakout session from our Platinum Sponsor @stemcell.com about research reproducibility. Many thanks to @clearskiesadam.bsky.social from Clear Skies Research, for his presentation of a meta-analysis of research reproducibility across the life sciences.

"Know Your Author" (and co-authors!) is a good mantra for good integrity and ORCID helps a lot with that." @clearskiesadam.bsky.social shares what editors can do to combat paper mills. https://origineditorial.com/origin-editorial-blog/the-papermill-crisis-what-editorial-offices-can-do-about-it/

Excellent Origin Editorial post by @clearskiesadam.bsky.social, founder of Clear Skies (and former journal editor), on what editorial offices can do about the growing papermill crisis. A personal, informed take on an issue that affects us all! #ResearchIntegrity origineditorial.com/origin-edito...?

Excellent write up from the @royalsociety.org panel discussion on #researchintegrity with @clearskiesadam.bsky.social @clarivate.com @tandfresearch.bsky.social @springernature.com www.researchprofessionalnews.com/rr-news-worl...

Daughter revealed that she thinks Kew Gardens is called 'Cute Gardens'. I am never going to correct her. That's what they are called now.

2025. Oversight: integrity metrics for journals by @clearskiesadam.bsky.social medium.com/p/oversight-...

🚀New launch: Oversight by @clearskiesadam.bsky.social. Analysing data from over 60M+ papers published since 2016, it provides a nuanced Composite Risk Score for each journal, assisting publishers in identifying potential risks: clearskiesadam.medium.com/oversight-in... #ResearchIntegrity

I try to keep blog posts short. Medium's stats show how this affects readership. Less words => more likely to be read. This is the longest blog post I've ever put out at >2k words. Somehow read rate is really high. Must try that again... clearskiesadam.medium.com/oversight-in...

Our mission at Clear Skies is to make complex things simple. I'm not sure how to quantify how much data processing there was in this, but I will say that I didn't have to turn the heating on all winter. Now that the sun's out, I might have a problem! clearskiesadam.medium.com/oversight-in...

How do we rank journals so that publishers can prioritise their portfolio? Oversight tracks 100% of journals and 100% of research articles, so we need sophisticated methods to rank them all. clearskiesadam.medium.com/oversight-in...

Something I helped co-author with the @researchsolutions.bsky.social, @dataseerai.bsky.social and @clearskiesadam.bsky.social teams based on a fireside chat webinar we took part in www.researchsolutions.com/blog/what-ex...

100% of journals are now being tracked and analysed in Oversight, from Clear Skies.

Dropped my phone in a swimming pool 1 month ago. It died immediately. Very inconvenient. Bought a new one got it all set up. Happy with it. Kept trying to restart the old one, but completely dead... until today! It works fine now! But now I have 2 phones. Also very inconvenient.

This video is getting on for 2 years old. I've written dozens of blogs, and done other talks, webinars etc in the meantime, but people still ask me about this one. Apparently it's still of interest. It was certainly a lot of fun! @oaspa.bsky.social youtu.be/yOvpsQ7bDtA?...

I've learned to read between the lines with the toddler. For instance, today I was able to deduce what she did at nursery from just a single sentence. She just walked up to me and said "Daddy, don't eat sand".
