"De wetenschappelijke integriteit staat op het spel nu universiteiten [AI] zonder kritische bezinning omarmen. Dat is de waarschuwing van een internationale groep van achttien wetenschappers, onder leiding van onderzoekers van de Radboud Universiteit.” www.scienceguide.nl/2025/09/ai-s... 1/🧵

Finally! 🤩 Our position piece: Against the Uncritical Adoption of 'AI' Technologies in Academia: doi.org/10.5281/zeno... We unpick the tech industry’s marketing, hype, & harm; and we argue for safeguarding higher education, critical thinking, expertise, academic freedom, & scientific integrity. 1/n

Drummond Rennie (1936-2025), in his own words Rennie, who died on September 12, was a towering figure in scientific publishing, known for promoting improved standards in medical journals, and for organizing the first Peer Review Congress, held in 1989, and every four years since.

I've just updated my preprint on short personal reviews of novels on hashtag#ResearchIntegrity bit.ly/409E5ff Please attend me to novels which you believe to belong to this list, but are not yet included. The preprint recently also has been published in a Chinese journal: bit.ly/3K6P17B

Hey everyone, I'm hoping to get some sense from academics on what kind of financial support (if any) they get from their university/college employers for conference travel. Please chime in and repost if willing.

A @bmj.com RCT is comparing effects of use of an #OpenScience checklist on provision of study protocols, code, data, more. Too early to assess reproducibility FX! @mariskaleeflang.bsky.social @ingestegeman.bsky.social @floriannaudet.bsky.social @mlrethlefsen.bsky.social @amsterdamumc.bsky.social

For you editors, systematic reviewers, and SR commissioners out there: our latest reflections on what works in large-scale SR projects to support international policy (it's basically, comms, practice, protocols, researcher buy-in). www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

To be honest, I am not sure if this difference is gonna make a real change in scientific quality... 22 sentences is really not that longg (although the length and complexity of the sentences may also be longer) And information score only slightly more than standard 0.52 vs 0.46)....

Menopause misinformation is harming care www.bmj.com/content/390/... "Routine hormone panel testing in the management of menopause symptoms is not supported by current evidence and does not improve care..." Normalisation of testing part of "larger problem: the commercialisation of women’s health"

+1 year ago we limited manuscript submissions to 4 per author p/y @accountabilityair.bsky.social, but overall, submissions have grown anyway. I wonder if the NIH would face the same challenge.

thrilled that our guides for #OpenScience in developing countries is now published in AMPPS of @psychscience.bsky.social: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/... Please see the thread for details

A really great course, not only for those who are attending as a participant, but also for the teachers. Every year has been a learning experience to me! This year will be in Athens!

Dit plaatje hebben we ook in het Nederlands nodig. #sepsis (alhoewel we de sepsis van mijn dochter er niet mee herkend hadden)

I have a new preprint out w/ @nicolecnelson.bsky.social & Kelsey Ichikawa! We focus on EPA regulatory transparency policies between '17 and '21 but wow is it relevant to current policies on #openscience, #opendata, including this weekend's "gold standard #science" EO 📄 osf.io/preprints/me... 🧵⤵️

Article fresh off the print (no paywall)! The tl;dr is in the quoted thread. We advance a measure of replication distance to capture differences btw an original study & its replications. We also discuss how statistics needs to go beyond ideal assumptions to serve science better. #metasci #sts #stat

"These guidelines were written by almost-retired professors who never could have met these standards back in the 1980s, when all you needed for tenure was 1.5 publications and a bottle of scotch in your desk." buff.ly/TOh3MUc

Open science isn't just for the rich. I wrote about building #REPOPSI – a repository of psychological instruments in Serbian – and what it taught me about doing #OpenScience with limited resources and lots of persistence. #PhDSky doi.org/10.1038/d415...

Looking for reviewers for this paper I am editing for PCI RR, but it has been difficult to get a second reviewer. If this is in your area and you would like to support PCI RR please reach out!

Are you highlighting #OpenScience activities in your CV, or know someone who does? I am looking for examples to include (of course in anonymized form) as examples in a book chapter. For example, I once came across a CV with small open science badges and would love to include this!

Next #Communicable drops Mon 7 Apr! Hosts @angelahuttner.bsky.social & Thomas Tängdén discuss w/ @escmid.bsky.social leadership Robert Skov & Annelies Zinkernagel the role of med societies in policy & politics, ESCMID’s priorities & upcoming #ESCMIDGlobal. #IDSky #clinmicro

Voor deze ga ik nog een beschrijving maken en ondanks dat ik hem het liefst zelf zou willen houden komt toch gewoon te koop. €325,- (incl btw) het schedeltje is handgesneden (niet door mij) uit bot (rund). De afmetingen zijn 14 x 14 cm. Handgemaakt van oa merantihout en glas. DM

Day 2 of the course, starting with writing Commentaries, by Ursula Hofer: - Commentaries are good ways to convey your opinion - Tips: find a hook, what can you add to the story, is it timely? - discuss papers, press releases, international days, societal debate, etc - writing is an art!

Starting today! I will update you on the take home points of the course. Starting with the first presentation by Michal Paul: an overview of what a good publication entails. - write protocol and plan in advance - background can be short, leaving room for methods - check numbers and percentages!

Anyone presenting an abstract at ESCMID Global: If you've been approached by a journal to publish that abstract (usually for a fee), you can say no thanks. As in 2024, CMI Comms will publish all abstracts #open-access for free #IDSky #Clinmicro #MicroSky #MedSky www.cmi-comms.com/article/S295...
