In the discussion about author behaviour when it comes to predatory journals, poor university / employer support and training isn't talked about enough

Very much on the theme of our conference this week.

#EASEoslo

I’m thinking of putting a working group proposal together for NISO to standardize the terminology @nicolinevdl.bsky.social @nisoinfo.bsky.social

Malinformation is information based on fact that is intended to do harm. Phishing is an example of malinformation, as is mislabelling a photo with the wrong time, place, or subject to fuel a false narrative.

Why is it so urgent to act against misinformation?

Nicolien van der Linden shared:

"If we can’t agree on what disinformation is, how can we fight it? What exactly are we combating?"
