Wiley's 'fake science' scandal is just the latest chapter in a broader crisis of trust universities must address
Wiley's Hindawi scandal offers a window into a thriving black market of fake science, corrupted research and bogus authorship. It also illuminates a much broader crisis of trust confronting universities and scientific institutions worldwide.
George MacgregorOf possible interest to folk here... The PM programme on #BBC Radio Four has been focussing on the crisis in #academic #research this week. Wednesday's episode focussed on the issue of paper mills (notably #Hindawi & #Wiley) and their impact on the number of retractions which, 10 years ago was small, but today exceeds 13K per annum.
Episode below -- though may only be available within UK. Fast forward to circa 40:00 to hear the discussion: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m001xdgd #scholcomm #RetractionWatch
Frottier#Hindawi follows a full #OpenAccess publishing model since 2007. They may just look bad in comparison because everyone actually *can* look at their stuff (no log-in required, OAI-PMH, web scraping is possible, there's a freely downloadable JATS-based XML corpus).
So, everyone, brace for the 2024 retraction crisis.

Tino Eberl#Wissenschaft: Über 10.000 #Forschungsartikel wurden 2023 wegen #Fälschungen zurückgezogen, ein historischer Höchststand. "Paper Mills" stehen im Zentrum des Skandals, produzieren gefälschte Studien und untergraben das Vertrauen in die Forschung. Die größte Quelle dabei war der Verlag #Hindawi, ein Tochterunternehmen von #Wiley.

Welcome to my four posts about the use of #AI in academic publishing.
This is part one, also known as the fuck around part.
Here is an early 2023 YouTube video from #Hindawi, advertising "writefull" an ai-based language tool on their platform to help authors rework their manuscripts, thus "creating time to focus on what you are trying to say, instead of how to say it".

jonny (good kind)If anyone wants to talk about "predatory publishers," youre looking at em. #Frontiers is nothing, they just play the game set up by the larger publishers. The call is coming from inside the house - #RELX is the one pushing higher article volumes every year. RELX is the one building the research intelligence platforms that set the value of research and researchers. Blaming #MDPI and #Hindawi and others not only misses the dynamics of the market, it plays directly into the big publisher's ad copy where they claim only they can protect Truth.

😳Scandal is huge because #Hindawi publishing house alone retracted
🎓📄9,600 papers, of which 8,200 had a Chinese co-author -85%-
Scope of the fraud in journals published in Chinese language is unknown.
