Just a reminder, we not only wrote about the profiteering nature of the Springer-Nature Discover journal series, but we made a "guess the publisher" game! hal.science/hal-05113253 Game by @[email protected] pagoba.shinyapps.io/publi_guess/ #OpenAccess #AcademicSky #FoSci #MDPI #SciPub

Spot on stuff here. Nicely done both. Also a seeming endorsement that paying peer reviewers is worth a shot to salvage peer review as an institution. My experiences with @[email protected] from @[email protected] have been very positive so far. #ResearchIntegrity #AcademicSky #FoSci

PISS is easy to spot & easy to police with special issue tags & editor/author metadata. Journals could include these in xml reported to OpenAlex or CrossREF. Indexers can require them to do so. Efforts like ours and #ScienceSleuths & #FoSci shouldn't have to be the vehicle for essential data. 14/n

This completely fake university was recently uncovered by @[email protected] - it’s fascinating. #FoSci #ResearchIntegrity

An image from a 2003 scientific paper, where one of the researchers has been found guilty of science misconduct in that same year. This paper was not mentioned in the misconduct report. Can you spot some problems? #ResearchIntegrity #ImageForensics #FoSci

Interesting post here on the possible emergence of a new field of research - Forensic Scientometrics (or #FoSci for short) - bringing together lots of different #ResearchIntegrity strands into one community of practice:

The TL;DR is that
1. The top research on the drug was not used in the court case.
2. There is a way to understand quality science.

Also a note, finding which scientific publications were used in court cases is archaic. The US courts need to make these exhibits digitally findable and accessible.
