The Medical Evidence Project, a venture of The Center for #ScientificIntegrity, aims to reduce harm to patients & improve outcomes by finding & publicizing serious errors in the medical literature. Under the directorship of James Heathers, PhD, the Medical Evidence Project uses forensic meta-analytical techniques to detect & then shine light on errors arising from low-quality science & fraudulent work in areas that involve large numbers of patients

This is a punchy take on the state of science as an industry.

With respect to the specific quote below, it shows what most scientists don't realise about the following three things: the gouging by "reputable" commercial publishers, the "predation" by scam publishers, and the fraud of the shadiest scientists.

These all lie on a continuum.

Am I the only one who considers that using this tool (LLM that "summarizes" paywalled scientific papers to which you don't have access) basically amounts to scientific fraud?, ignoring basic rules of scientific integrity that you don't cite papers that you haven't read yourself?

Joining a new instance, posting a new #introduction.

After three years in the Fediverse, including two wonderful years at https://fediscience.org/@fresseng, I’m joining the first French instance that is both dedicated to and hosted by the academic community.

Academic and physicist, I also dabble in politics.

I will be posting about #openscience #fairdata #freesoftware #foss #CoARA #researchassesment #scientificintegrity #digitalinfrastructure ... and #Fediverse
