This new paper was a team effort among students in my lab, led by @mitchellshorgan.bsky.social. Please share with your fish tracking colleagues! @oceantracking.bsky.social @glatos-fish.bsky.social link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Here is an excellent article on the issues with STOTEN journal, and with scientific publishing in general: english.elpais.com/science-tech...

🧵1/9 There are 35,000+ fish species, but we have formal social-behaviour classifications for a tiny fraction. Most knowledge lives in the experience of researchers, fishers, divers, aquarists, naturalists, and Indigenous communities, but almost none of it is centralised. So we built ShoalBase.org.

"40% of papers about subarachnoid haemorrhage in animals contained manipulated images." We have to face up to the fact that in some fields, over half of published science might be fake.

The problems were so pervasive they abandoned their review and instead began investigating how widespread image duplication was in their field. Widespread image reuse, manipulation uncovered in animal studies of brain injury

Hey @tandfresearch.bsky.social, - you should not allow authors to address photoshopped tumors by just leaving out the photoshopped tumors. This paper was 1 year old at the time of correction. Where are the originals? Horrible editorial decision. #ImageForensics

Next time an institution tells you how seriously it takes research misconduct, ask them if it's *this* seriously. www.bmj.com/content/297/...

Another retraction (#10?) for Srikanta Dash at @tulaneu.bsky.social I reported this to the journal and the university in March 2021 - more than four years ago. Despite 10 retractions, he is still a full professor at Tulane. sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

I would plus one that. Lots of Oncotarget papers have problems. I already have over 200 Oncotarget papers flagged. Of the 125 problematic papers that I reported 5 years or more ago, about 100 remain unaddressed. Oncotarget's EiC thinks these images are totally fine. #ImageForensics

Just learned about this diamond journal, which has apparently been running since 2015! Looks like a very nice place for any meta-sciency work & probably deserves some visibility. septentrio.uit.no/index.php/no...

New paper! 🥳📜 We reviewed 275 ecology & evolution journals: only 38% mandate data sharing & 27% mandate code sharing. 📉 We share recommendations to help close this gap. 💡 👉 Paper: royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/... 👉 Blog: royalsociety.org/blog/2025/09...

Fisheries can drive selection, but what about small-scale ornamental fisheries?

I vibecoded this little tool for detecting duplications and clones within scientific figures. I think it works ok! Please try it. There are sample images you can try. Free to use. Not nearly as good as the paid models, obviously. 👉 dejaview.streamlit.app #researchintegrity @elisabethbik.bsky.social

Systematic reviewers have a 10.7% error rate when screening papers for potential inclusion. In other words, about 1 in 9 abstracts are categorised incorrectly (i.e., false inclusion or false exclusion). This really drives home the benefit of having at least two screeners

It is HOT and DRY here in New Brunswick!🌞🥵 Our recent work shows that these extreme temps can negatively affect coastal animals like clams when we remove them from their habitat. I encourage everyone to consider this when enjoying our coasts in reprieve of the heat. www.nature.com/articles/s42...
