Great initiative by Wiley! The publisher has started marking retracted papers in reference lists. When you click on the retraction notice, you can also see the date and reason for the retraction.
All publishers should adopt this practice. But also screen references during submission.

Spent the last two weeks, first, making this mess and now, building up something that already looks like a room. 💪 Of course not alone... And quite a welcoming change to working only on the computer... Still quite some screen time, reaching about insulation, cable thickness, and network cables...

I've seen this phrase used before to describe papers that have vast supplements with many sub-analyses that supposedly address every concern. Would take a year to review it all, so no peer review was done in effect.

The report doesn’t mention the Netherlands - there’s no official PEF set, so the conservative default of 1.0 is assumed, making wood ovens seem worse than gas, and therefore ignored in the energy label. Same problem btw with district heating. Who knew energy labels could be such a rabbit hole? (2/2)

🔥🪵🤯 It started with a simple question about how a wood oven would affect our energy label. Next thing I know, I’m deep into an EU study, comparing reasons for Primary Energy Factors. Turns out, Germany assigns wood ovens a PEF of 0.2, making biomass look fantastic. op.europa.eu/en/publicati... (1/2)

Looking forward to the #SPT2025 conference in Eindhoven, starting tomorrow. This year, I won't be presenting a paper but have the honor of joining a SIG panel discussion on the limits of language & technology narratives. But mostly, I'm looking forward to seeing many friends and colleagues. 🥳☕😀

22 Only if journalists and other parties shift attention to more pressing issues (at best, within their party's ascribed expertise) right-wing populism will decrease. And there are enough more pressing issues on which Populists quickly look incompetent, losing votes.

For me it's largely an agenda setting issue of the next few months:
1/2 Populists will keep demanding the impossible (against European law). Others will try to follow and take up the topic ("take people's concerns seriously") but only deliver a compromise. Here right-wing Populists will always win.

interesting how only Al Jazeera comes close to covering it correctly... #poland
