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

Hey again, Fediverse scientists! Are you a science sleuth or do you happen to know one? I would need a bit of help to investigate some dubious journals.

I'm looking forward to have an expert opinion. If you want to contribute please write a private message to me! Thanks in advance 😄😄
