One in five chemists have deliberately added errors into their papers during peer review, study finds

Conclusion is one of many in a report about how chemists handle errors in manuscripts

Offerta turistica, la Sicilia è la prima regione per imprese artigiane. La spesa dei turisti stranieri raggiunge 2.600 milioni di euro - hashtagsicilia

La Sicilia è la prima regione in Italia per imprese artigiane operanti in settori di attività interessati dalla domanda turistica. Si tratta di ben 14.886 aziende, pari al 21% dell’artigianato totale che danno lavoro a 35.836 addetti. È questa la fotografia scattata dall’Osservatorio economico di Confartigianato Sicilia che ha presentato il report sul turismo dell’estate […]

oh, sigh... @academicchatter, when are we actually improving our knowledge dissemination?

Are we going to be like "Linux on the desktop" here?

Sicilia, seconda regione per crescita del valore aggiunto

La Sicilia cresce nel 2023, seconda in Italia per valore aggiunto. Investimenti e turismo spingono, ma il divario con il Nord e i dati pro-capite restano critici.

I'm all for institutions to "take responsibility for conducting integrity checks and providing validation to the journals"

If they actually take over the journals as well via university presses or university led journals. If journals can't handle all of this (#AddedValue!) maybe we should give that responsibility back to where it belongs...

Putting Research Integrity Checks Where They Belong - The Scholarly Kitchen

Research journals and the peer review process should not be the first line of defense in identifying research integrity issues.

The Scholarly Kitchen

In a world where intellectual labor is increasingly outsourced to tools, the human aptitude for clear thinking and unique insights will become all the more valuable.
