🚨 A year ago, @gcabanac.cpesr.fr and I exposed a new kind of citation fraud: sneaked references— citations hidden in metadata, invisible in the PDF but boosting citations in databases 🧪Pop sci: theconversation.com/when-scienti... 📄Scientific paper: asistdl.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Lonni Besançon, a data-visualization researcher, spoke with Nature Careers about his work as a research-integrity sleuth that started during the COVID-19 pandemic and facing online abuse, threats and legal challenges because of it. #Academicsky 🧪

La haine et véhémence de mes harceleurs (qui prouvent malgré le point exact de l'article) est l'un des premiers moteurs de: - ma motivation à ne pas flancher face à la mauvaise science - mais aussi de la réussite de cet article (nature.com/articles/d41...) 🤣 Changez rien :)

Jana Christofer and I wrote a piece on #papermills for Laborjournal. We discuss challenges of paper mills and AI for scientific publishing. Science needs immediate solutions to correct it and prevent it from massively produced fraud. @image-integrity.bsky.social www.laborjournal.de/rubric/essay...

Great initiative by Wiley! The publisher has started marking retracted papers in reference lists. When you click on the retraction notice, you can also see the date and reason for the retraction. All publishers should adopt this practice. But also screen references during submission.
