My latest article has been published in Research Integrity and Peer Review. The paper examines how scientific misconduct, questionable research practices, research climate, and supervision are studied across disciplines & research systems.

One key takeaway: research integrity risks are shaped not only by individual behaviour, but also by research environments, supervision, evaluation systems.

Is difficult peer review a hidden signal of high-impact science?

Data from Nature Communications suggests that stronger reviewer criticism correlates with more influential papers later on.

Tough peer-review process? Your paper might end up being more highly cited

An AI-led analysis of publicly available peer-review reports links requests for major revisions with papers that end up having high impact.

Researchers and journalists are sometimes seen as opponents, but they may be strongest as partners.

In a Nature commentary, science sleuth Lonni Besançon reflects on how both communities can work together to safeguard research.

A conference taught me that scientists and journalists must work together to protect research

Science sleuth Lonni Besançon realizes that he has sometimes misunderstood what the media want from him and his researcher colleagues.

AI-enabled paper mills and fabricated citations now threaten the integrity of biomedical literature, risking patient safety and undermining trust in evidence-based medicine. The challenge is structural, urgent, and demands cross-sector reforms.

‘Student Geng’ ignites research-integrity scandal in China after calling out senior academics

Video blogger’s viral accusations of data manipulation in Nature journals have sparked intense debate and speedy institutional investigations.

@khinsen It makes sense that there should be a deductivist (critical rationalist) counterpart to the inductivist programme of #ResearchIntegrity, and that's how I'd say #OpenScience aligns, epistemologically.

A new preprint introduces SI-hacking (Special Issue hacking): when guest editors turn a special issue into a publication venue for themselves.

 https://arxiv.org/abs/2601.07563

Yet over 1,000 "hacked" special issues are still published every year. Strikingly, #MDPI accounts for 85% of all SI-hacked special issues in the dataset, while #Frontiers contributes another 13%.
