#Clarivate wants me to review 7 publications added to my #WebOfScience profile, so tried to log in. Figured I'd login via my #OrcidID, but Clarivate want permissions to:

* Add/update your research activities (works, affiliations, etc.)
* Add/update information about you (country, keywords, etc.)
* Read your information with visibility set to Trusted parties

None of those are acceptable to me, denied. Signed in with Google - all they get that way is read access to my name, profile picture and email address.

Where art thou, academic integrity? Musings here from @hugh about incoherence at the centre of Clarivate Nexus.

El Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas CSIC abrió expediente disciplinario a 5 investigadores que cambiaron su afiliación principal a una universidad de Arabia Saudí

En abril, el informe El juego de afiliación entre las instituciones de educación superior e investigación españolas y saudíes, realizada por la consultora Siris, reveló que

A 2020 paper on using jade amulets to cure COVID has had quite some fallout.

Three years on, the first author sued his institution, Pittsburgh, because he said their response was discriminatory: https://retractionwatch.com/2023/08/11/author-of-paper-on-covid-19-and-jade-amulets-sues-employer-for-mental-anguish-discrimination/. He left the same year and has since founded his own institute for "paradigm shifts".

Five years on, this case and other problems led Clarivate to delist the journal, Elsevier's Science of the Total Environment, from the Web of Science. https://english.elpais.com/science-tech/2025-11-28/the-fall-of-a-prolific-science-journal-exposes-the-billion-dollar-profits-of-scientific-publishing.html
