Girl, it's a tiny field compared to the rest.

Leave it.

In terms of volume of publications, quite fringe.

Most fields put PI last tbh. So strange the see others do it differently. Still a broken metric anyway.

My mind immediately went to all the particle physicists! Shows how broken this metric is.

Next Nobel Prize winner?

This tweet is still up btw

Only 1215 days of this administration left...

Meanwhile Nature is bombarding us with all these models that can predict what diseases we will have in the next few decades. Even branding it the "oracle of health".

Can they please put something not AI related on the front cover? I am so bored by this. @nature.com

I don't understand what I am reading here?
Can the editor not read the article? I have never seen a requirement like this before.

This was the plan from the start.

How do we solve these issues?

Not a lot of subscriptions will be left. I am expecting all media corporations to bow down to the orange in the coming years.

Let's make some unsupported assertions and embolden health insurance companies to deny innocent people's insurance claims.

Have they completely lost the plot @nature.com?
We are use bombastic language and broadcasting unsupported claims to astronomical levels when it comes to AI.

Cool tech. Hopefully one day we can do this in a much more energy efficient way with faster read and write.

Scientific fraud has become an ‘industry,’ alarming analysis finds Sophisticated global networks are infiltrating journals to publish fake papers

"They focused their investigation on PLOS ONE, because the megajournal allows easy access to bulk metadata and publishes the names of the editors..."

We need more publishers to release this information.

You make the claim = your job.

Lack of evidence. Bring proof to the table.

Why would I assume corporate level fraud for something that can be organised by a few individuals?

Who will pay for this investigation? Is this a political priority? Across jurisdictions and Ukraine is a little busy.

We see many countries cracking down on buyers, but sellers will be hard to catch.

Articles are the crack of academia. As long as you have sufficient desperate buyers, an organisation will form to produce.

From a buyer's perspective, individual demand is for sure clear and sufficient.
We know certain universities have bought scientists with dubious records for their h index before. Wholesale selling of articles is hard to prove and imo not even required.

What do you define as sufficient profit? It doesn't take too much funds to operate a paper mill. The profit margin is often 100s of dollars. In many countries, this gets you very far.
There are 10.000s of academics in publish or perish conditions. Big market, low effort, big margins.

PhD students? The most egregious examples of citation and paper fraud are professors with the funds and time to do so. A PhD student has a much harder time getting away with this.

How odd

Time for a more systematic way of funding and doing replication studies. Perhaps even directly linked to the original papers in a way.

Can relate to this so hard right now

Preprints are not the latest versions of articles. You might miss key late stage Peer Review changes. People might be citing or interpreting data or results differently based on the version they have been read.

Since the final version is owned by the journal, you often cannot release it.

It is also not easy to predict how bad a new virus causing a new pandemic would be. Especially during the early days, we were not sure what the exact consequences of infection were. (We still don't considering Long COVID)

Please let this be fake... Surely people are not doing this.
