»Wir leben in einer totalen Reputationsökonomie, in der Karrieren weniger über wissenschaftlichen und damit gesellschaftlichen Impact, sondern über Surrogate wie Zitierhäufigkeit des Publikationsorgans (sprich: Impact Factor), Zahl der Publikationen und eingeworbene Drittmittel gesteuert werden.«

Let's get negative about scholarly publishing – a new paper (first in a long time for me!) on proposals to tackle the problem of publication bias that emerged from a NINDS workshop held in May last year.

Sharing knowledge is a fundamental principle within the scientific community, yet null and negative results are still being underreported. @scurry.bsky.social &co present a roadmap to a solution that has a role for everyone in the scientific community 🧪 #Academicsky #reproducibility

Publication bias continues to skew academic literature. In our new @plosbiology.org article, we outline actionable steps for journals, funders & researchers to ensure all results—not only “positive” ones—are valued. A roadmap for more reliable science: journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...

Today @researchdataall.bsky.social conference in Potsdam. Stefanie Seltmann could not be here but her poster is on the @berlinualliance.bsky.social CARDs project for the Berlin Excellence Clusters.
Hate that it has come to this, but it's time to consider PubMed vulnerable to enshittification. My latest post @plos.org discusses the lines we need to fight to hold – and alternatives we can rely on internationally:
