🤣 Actor Denzel Washington has reached out to me about a #freelance gig! And yes, I am indeed board-certified by the Board of Editors in the #Life #Sciences, in whose directory he says he found me. Fellow #MedicalEditors, watch out for this #scam email. It’s arriving under lots of different names.

Fellow #SelfEmployed #MedicalEditors, #ScienceEditors, & #AcademicEditors, you need to read this entire Bluesky thread about #reference list #fakery created by #AI. #Researcher–#authors aren’t verifying or reading what they cite as source papers. https://bsky.app/profile/benpatrickwill.bsky.social/post/3mae76wbmcs2n

Closing out my year with a journal editor shocker 🧵 Checking new manuscripts today I reviewed a paper attributing 2 papers to me I did not write. A daft thing for an author to do of course. But intrigued I web searched up one of the titles and that's when it got real weird...

I'm hoping that Oxford University Press's IT folks can fix this seemingly new issue for some of us #freelance #MedicalEditors who are longtime subscribers (personal subscription) to the press's online version of the 11th edition of the 𝘈𝘔𝘈 𝘔𝘢𝘯𝘶𝘢𝘭 𝘰𝘧 𝘚𝘵𝘺𝘭𝘦. Here is how one of my colleagues described the issue: "When I input a #search #term, I get results as I normally do. But clicking on a result just brings me to the table of contents. The problem is happening with both Chrome (my usual browser) and Edge, which I’d never used on this computer. "I emailed Oxford University Press (the owners), and they told me to clear the cache and cookies. I did so, but it didn’t fix the problem." After reading her description, I logged in to the manual of style under my subscription, and I experienced the same problem. Help, please, OUP?
