So happy our paper is finally out!!! thank you everyone in the #ScreenIT group. This effort involved at least 12 people curating 1500 papers for various criteria. Thank you all for pulling it off. doi.org/10.1371/jour...

Join ReproducibiliTea Melbourne journal club this Thursday 4pm AEDT, to discuss "Oversight of Research Outputs by Public Organisations as a Threat to Research Integrity” by C. Brandenburg & @aidybarnett.bsky.social
Zoom: uni-sydney.zoom.us/j/83909186903
#ResearchIntegrity @reproducibilitea.org
📣 Call for replicators: The NanoBubbles initiative aims to evaluate reproducibility of influential experimental claims in nanoscience. Independent research teams from nano or physical chemistry may apply. Participants receive financial support.
Deadline: March 16
The volume of AI-enabled decent scientific work will overwhelm scientific journals and reviewers. Good post about this except it ends on a strange note, that Wiley and Elsevier AI tools might save us, which is both unlikely and would give even more power to them.

As terrible as this is, I have also heard people suggesting to take advantage of their lax hiring policies to join and be as incompetent as possible to slow things down while collecting a pay check. Valid form of resistance.

A journalist recently decided to apply out of curiosity. She has critiqued ICE, did not fill out their background check questionnaire (self-report your crime history), failed the drug test, and still received an offer. So no, they’re not really vetted it seems. www.klcc.org/podcast/oreg...

TW: police violence.
Last night in Sydney. You may argue at least it’s not as bad as USA or Iran but if we don’t speak out against it now it could be. I cannot fathom what context could possibly justify assaulting people praying or beating a man with his hands up and backing away.

I’m impressed.
A nice example of how to handle this with transparency and honesty. Carroll makes a strong case for accountability.
This thread makes clear that it’s reasonable to expect some explanation and soul-searching from those who were connected with Epstein.
striking results!

If you saw it last week, you’ll likely see even stronger over the next couple nights. We might even see in lower latitudes of Australia. You can check NOAA 30 minute forecast for predictions #spaceweather #aurora

“If fabricated studies make their way into the evidence base, they can mislead real scientists and ultimately slow progress for patients."
Published in The BMJ, a new AI tool developed by @aidybarnett.bsky.social and colleagues has exposed the scale of fake studies flooding cancer research.
New paper mill detection model flags 10% of all cancer articles as potentially coming from paper mills.
Huge congratulations @baptscc.bsky.social on an incredible first published paper with @aidybarnett.bsky.social @jabyrnesci.bsky.social

Pleased to share that we were awarded a 2026 #NHMRC Ideas grant via @sydney.edu.au to study/ raise awareness of published human #CellLines that may not exist. It was a tough year, but this outcome shows that NHMRC can fund topics in #metascience, as well as laboratory & clinical research

Just finished this gripping read on scientific fraud by @eugenie-reich.bsky.social
Had to tab the quote:
“In comparison to the mythical picture of researchers as an army of self-correctors marching in an organised way toward the truth, science is more of a guerrilla war.”
#researchintegrity
To bring in the New Year, here's a proposal for external regulation of academic publishing, through a voluntary system of journal certification to the ISO 9001 quality management standard. 🧪 #ResearchIntegrity (1/2) www.nature.com/articles/d41...

This is the last case of 2025. I hope you enjoyed the calendar as much as I enjoyed preparing it, and I wish you warm seasonal greetings!
Science is a collective effort, but @simine.com is a singular force. She is an exemplary model for all of us to follow in her commitment and action to improving science, on every dimension.
She is so deserving of the award. The only uncertainty is whether the award deserves her!
Hey folks! We're running a big repliCATS workshop in Melbourne on 16 Dec, evaluating of replicability of published papers.

At the past two AIMOS conferences, we have had a free public lecture for the local community. #AIMOS2025 follows suit! Join us for Ivan Oransky's public lecture: events.humanitix.com/public-talk-... but do so soon, seats are limited!
