Stocking the Librarian’s Publishing Integrity Toolkit The number of tools available to help library staff identify potential research misconduct is rapidly expanding. Here are some recommendations. By Matthew Goddard and Zachariah Motts katinamagazine.org/content/arti...

Fraudes, biais, manipulations… Cette table ronde de 2024 avec @lonnibesancon.bsky.social Amira Barhoumi et @elisabethbik.bsky.social décortique comment la pression du « Publish or Perish » déforme la recherche scientifique et fragilise son intégrité. youtu.be/yjyj-EyIs5M

🤯 Tortured phrases in ‘ACM Computing Surveys’ a top journal in my field (JIF 28 and SJR Q1, FWIW). @acm.org tell us it's a bug in the editorial system. Did any of the reviewers recommended acceptance? Please make their reports public with the upcoming retraction notice. pubpeer.com/publications...

#ISHPSSB is over. I presented my preliminary work on hype, distortion and reproducibility in #microbiome science. This work would never have been possible without my collaboration with scientists from various labs and my participation in the @nanobubbles.bsky.social project on science correction.

Exclusive: A major scientific publisher, Taylor & Francis, said it has paused submissions to its journal Bioengineered so editors there can investigate some 1000 of its papers that bear signs they contain manipulated results or came from paper mills. scim.ag/4kjR4la

"Data leakage" occurs when a statistical or machine learning model has access to data it shouldn't during the training process. This can lead to severe overestimation of a model's predictive performance. Data leakage is the subject of COSIG's 30th guide! Read here: osf.io/d8mzb

In 2024, a surgical journal published a case study set on Saturn. This thought experiment sparked debate among science sleuths: What counts as a legitimate correction to the scientific record? Read our latest blog post by Mady Barbeitas: blog.trialanderror.org/cultures-of-... JOTE x NanoBubbles

How about a podcast on research integrity featuring big names in the field (e.g., @elisabethbik.bsky.social) and, incidentally, yours truly? Go listen to open.spotify.com/show/2AuVl4w...

One excellent place to get started is with the Problematic Paper Screener, which automatically scans the scientific literature for various problematic fingerprints. www.irit.fr/~Guillaume.C...

What fuels metascience? STS-scholar @penders.bsky.social explores how the movement is shaped by Wissenschaftschmerz - a nostalgia for lost modernist ideals - as well as the hope to ‘rebuild’ science Presented by JOTE x @nanobubbles.bsky.social Read it here: blog.trialanderror.org/wissenschaft...

“Peer reviews cause unnecessary delays to breakthroughs.” This idea led to some research being available pre-review during the COVID pandemic. But new perspectives suggest preprinting is a bad idea: journal.trialanderror.org/pub/preprint...

A very important initiative. it's useful for all scientists to be aware of what kind mistakes and fraud can be found in scientific papers when one reads them, cites or peer reviews.

We hope that you enjoy using COSIG! Suggestions to improve COSIG and contributions to the project can be submitted by opening an issue on COSIG's GitHub repo (github.com/cosig-pppr/c...) or by emailing [email protected].

COSIG currently hosts 27 guides on a wide range of topics. Guides can be downloaded as individual PDFs or as a combined PDF with all guides included at cosig.net.

Anyone can do post-publication peer review. Anyone can be a steward of the scientific literature. Anyone can do forensic metascience. Anyone can sleuth. That's why we are launching COSIG: the Collection of Open Science Integrity Guides, an open source resource for all of the above. cosig.net

💡 Recherche Responsable : lancement d’un cycle de séminaires à l'ENPC @ecoledesponts.bsky.social 📅 12 juin 2025 – 14h-17h |📍Amphi Navier, ENPC 🎙️ Avec Lonni Besançon @lonnibesancon.bsky.social 🎙️ Catherine Guaspare & Michel Dubois @ejsmdubois.bsky.social 🎙️ Marlène Jouan bit.ly/RR_ENPC_1

🎧 We are happy to announce that Season 2 of our podcast "Science in the Grey Zone is now out! 🔎 In this season, we interviewed 17 sleuths at the “Scientific Literature Decontamination” symposium held in Paris in September 2024. 🔗 open.spotify.com/episode/7j8Y...

I have a new article out in Science & Education (journal of the Int'l History, Philosophy & Science Teaching Group) that should eventually be part of a special issue surveying common ground in the recent-ish history of science and science education literatures: link.springer.com/article/10.1...

📰 Take a look at our newest blog post: The (in)visibility of corrections in scientific literature databases and tools – Feedback for the EASE conference 🔗 nanobubbles.hypotheses.org/2914 @wytskehepkema.bsky.social

I presented our work at @easeeditors.bsky.social conference. We looked how visible corrections are across different platform where researchers can get their literature. Because if a paper has been corrected, the goal is that the reader actually sees the correction. #correctionofscience

🎧 Get your headphones ready 👂 We are proud to announce that our podcast "Science in the Gray Zone"’ is out! In this first season we talk about the obstacles to the self-correction of science in academia and industry from Science and Technology Studies standpoint. open.spotify.com/show/2AuVl4w...

Hi, I'm a bit late to the party but I just joined BlueSky🦋. I am working on my PhD project about scientific error correction within @nanobubbles.bsky.social at @isis-radboud.bsky.social. I'm interested more broadly in scientific knowledge production, #researchintegrity, and #scholarypublishing 🔬

We’ll explore how the Problematic Paper Screener leverages @crossref.bsky.social API and Retraction Watch metadata to identify unreliable research. Date: May 9, 2025 08:30 UTC Registration link: crossref.zoom.us/webinar/regi... (2/2)

Webinar Follow-Up: Detecting Problematic Papers with #Retraction Watch #Metadata. Join us for the next instalment in our webinar series, featuring @gcabanac.cpesr.fr (1/2)

🇦🇹 NanoBubbles PhD candidate Stefan Gaillard's poster on publishing null and failed results in the European Geosciences Union General Assembly 2025! @trialanderror.org

JOTE presents at the EGU in Vienna today! Today, co-founder of JOTE Stefan Gaillard will present about the importance of publishing failed studies in the European Geosciences Union general assembly in Vienna. If you’re there, say hi to him! (Session EOS4.8)

Did you—or a colleague—publish a paper about failure, a null or negative result, or research that didn’t go as planned? Nominate it for the 2025 Trial and Error Award—organized w/ the @museumoffailure.bsky.social, Utrecht Young Academy & Young Academy Twente Link: trialanderror.org/awards-2025-...

Guest lecture by prof. Raphaël Lévy 🗓️ May 13 2025, 2-3PM, Radboud Universiteit, HG00.303 Science is supposed to be self-correcting, but what happens when scientists attempt to correct the scientific record? #STS #philsci #metascience

📣 Registration for the IACAP-AISB 2025 (Conference on Philosophy of Computing and AI) at the University of Twente is now open! 🗓️ 1-3 July 2025 🔗More information: www.utwente.nl/en/bms/phil/.... 🐦Note: early bird closes 31 May 2025. @yjerden.bsky.social

The first @crossref.bsky.social #metadata sprint concluded successfully! We spent two days in the National Museum of Natural Sciences in Madrid working on different questions, problems, challenges, and gaps in the scholarly record.

escaping the chaos for a day to go to Wuppertal to ride the Schwebebahn. oh, & to discuss happier things (scientific fraud & Questionable Research Practices!) w/ my @nanobubbles.bsky.social & IZWT colleagues

We're on the second day of the first @crossref.bsky.social metadata sprint! Lots of ideas, lots of enthusiasm! We definitely love #metadata!"

Read our paper in JAMA Internl Med with a great editorial. Wonderful collaboration with @gcabanac.cpesr.fr Retracted papers are included in meta-analyses published in HIF journal. Inclusion of the retracted studies changed effect estimates. doi.org/10.1001/jama... doi.org/10.1001/jama...

'...since publishers do not always report corrections and retractions effectively, open repositories could fill this gap ... and establish clear, bidirectional ... links ...' bit.ly/3FokLTl @peerreviewcongress.bsky.social @retractionwatch.com @opensciencenl.bsky.social

😵‍💫 Tortured phrases by a Google employee in an @arxiv-cs-cv.bsky.social preprint, really? Or an impersonation, or a bad joke? pubpeer.com/publications...

I'm delighted to share our opinion on #papermills published in Nature. Science is flooded with papers from paper mills.Certain steps can be taken, but this is a challenge that neither universities nor journals are ready to face.Some use paper mills to their advantage. www.nature.com/articles/d41...
