And here we get in to where he admits he has no experience with peer review and sees no problem with men in their 20s overturning the research proposals and peer-review decisions of experts with between 10 and 50 years more life experience. youtu.be/UDwAOrDi1wk?... /3

Des millions de livres et d’articles potentiellement indexés dans les LLM, dont : Elsevier, Wiley, Pearson, McGraw Hill, Taylor&Francis, Macmillan Learning et Hachette (Dunod, A. Colin...)
Today, a study was published on Science Detective featuring case studies of datasets published on Dryad.
The study is a testament to the importance of #opendata in supporting research integrity by enabling validation.

Picture of DOGE guy Nate Cavanaugh
Screenshot of my DOGE letter “Dr. Joseph Rezek Dear NEH Grantee, This letter provides notice that the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) is terminating your federal grant (Grant Application No. FEL29509824) effective April 3, 2025, in accordance with the termination clause in your Grant Agreement. Your grant no longer effectuates the agency's needs and priorities and conditions of the Grant Agreement and is subject to termination due to several reasonable causes, as outlined in 2CFR§200.340. For instance, NEH has reasonable cause to terminate your grant in light of the fact that the NEH is repurposing its funding allocations in a new direction in furtherance of the President's agenda. The President's February 19, 2025 executive order mandates that the NEH eliminate all non-statutorily required activities and functions. See Commencing the Reduction of the Federal Bureaucracy, E.O. 14217 (Feb. 19, 2025). Your grant's immediate termination is necessary to safeguard the interests of the federal government, including its fiscal priorities. Any objections or appeals to this termination will be managed in strict accordance with the President's Executive Orders,
Last year, this guy (left) from DOGE used ChatGPT to find NEH grants that were too “DEI” for Trump, and canceled them, including mine, as shown by the letter I received last April (right). Huge new NYT article on the back story link below

Two new papers from the lab on research practices in security & privacy research: 1) Reliability of measures and the use of Cronbach's α osf.io/preprints/ps..., 2) Practices around retraction and correction notices by ACM and IEEE (osf.io/preprints/ps...)
I have seen a lot of cursed stuff in my time in academia but this is among the *most* cursed.
Grammarly is generating miniature LLMs based on academic work so that users can have their writing ‘reviewed’ by experts like David Abulafia, who died less than two months ago.

To be fair, the publishing fees for journals in the Nature stable are so low that they probably can't afford proof-readers or copy editors.
Papermillers: Whoops, we forgot to copy-paste into all the columns of the spreadsheet when inserting the paid-for, irrelevant citations into the manuscript.
Scientific Reports editors: Do we look like we care?

Research integrity isn’t a compliance exercise. It’s foundational to the credibility, sustainability, and future of #ScholComm and #Science
But policies don’t operationalize themselves. If integrity is a priority, it’s time for a plan.
We unpack what that takes:

Yes. Studies like www.fhi.no/en/publ/2023... and onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... need to be redone now you can do proximity and wild cards?

Are #openaccess fees that some journals charge authors too high? The Chinese Academy of Sciences, the world’s largest research institution, reportedly thinks so and plans to stop funding some, a move that could shake up #scientificpublishing. @science.org www.science.org/content/arti...
My first piece on Leiden Madtrics comes out from a triple joy:
1. Joy of reading a thought-provoking book and listening to the presentation from @samuelmoore.org
2. Joy of discussing with others who actually care the research commons
3. Joy of writing together with Tanya, a PhD colleague at CWTS
