Spinger Nature Discovers MDPI – The Strain on Scientific Publishing Home page for the paper ‘The Strain on Scientific Publishing’ by Mark A Hanson, Dan Brockington, Paolo Crosetto and Pablo Gomez Barreiro

New from The Strain Team:
🎊 Springer Nature Discovers MDPI 🎊

Springer Nature has spawned a copycat journal series called "Discover" mimicking #MDPI journal titles and citation behaviours. We even made a browser game to prove it (see 🔗).

Gross! 😀 1/n

A large podium in an auditorium with a table and empty chairs. Some decorative plants. Over it is projected the title of the meeting, sponsors, organizers

Une diversité de présentations et de méthodes fantastique !

Public Statement on Recent Attacks on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Initiatives On 10 February 2025, the ASIH Executive Committee voted in support of the following statement: 11 February 2025 The Executive Board of the American Society of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists (ASIH) is concerned about recent turmoil at the United States federal governmental agencies established to promote the advancement of science. Many of our members are supported by federal funds in their scientific pursuits, and this funding is paramount for better understanding the diversity of our natural world. Inquiries into amphibians, reptiles, and fishes have resulted in major breakthroughs in the medical industry, serve as models for our understanding of ecological and evolutionary processes, and have even been used to better prepare our armed forces for international conflicts. Federal funding has supported many of these endeavors. While we understand that funding models change over time, we adamantly condemn any model that does not incorporate cooperation between politicians and the greater scientific community. We also condemn any model that does not fairly provide funds to scientific investigators through peer review by experts in the scientific community. The suggested changes in governmental funding practices centered around diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) have resulted in confusion amongst members of ASIH, and the greater scientific community. The Executive Board of ASIH fully supports the idea that diversity and inclusivity of the scientific community leads to greater discoveries in ichthyological and herpetological research and ultimately strengthens us as a community of scholars. Similar to DEI initiatives at ASIH, these initiatives at the federal level are designed to foster and protect diversity in STEM education and research. We want to reaffirm our mission and commitment to all of you: ASIH condemns the recent attacks on diversity, equity, and inclusion initia…

Meta-🧵 (🧵 made of 🧵) on our last paper in @plosbiology.org with @constantvinatier.bsky.social, @ingestegeman.bsky.social, @hynekczu.bsky.social, L. Caquelin, @veerlevde.bsky.social & M. Kozula about meta-research. Please repost if you find it meta-enough or just in case you like Xmas spirit.

It is a story about our ability to correctly and reliably review information for mistakes.

We made one deliberately in the first post.

Who spotted it?

Review is hard - busy, distracted humans, skimming information, can miss errors right in plain view.

Did you know that you can get trained in IUCN Red List assessment for free online?

I have my undergrads do this as a semester-long assignment to understand policy-relevant science. You can do it too! 🧪🦑🌎
