Misuse of power in research. It's a huge problem in Germany.

I've observed it many times. At all institutions that I worked at.

My observations are consistent with a new documentary by @ZDF

Speak German? -> watch it: https://www.zdf.de/dokumentation/die-spur/diespur-metoo-machtmissbrauch-tatort-uni-102.html

Here's a post I recently wrote about misuse of power and my personal struggles with it (no connection to the documentary):

The preprint revolution - Implications for bibliographic databases https://upstream.force11.org/the-preprint-revolution-implications-for-bibliographic-databases/

Bibliographic databases are increasingly recognizing importance of preprints. How do they index preprints?

@neesjanvaneck and I offer 6 recommendations for preprint indexing. We show to what extent #Dimensions, #EuropePMC, #Lens, #Scopus and #WebOfScience meet these recommendations.

Improving preprint indexing requires joint action by many players in scholarly publishing infrastructure ecosystem!
