Publishing with Integrity

According to Google Maps, this is where The International Journal of Case Reports and Therapeutic Studies (ISSN: 2689-310X), published by Herald Scholarly Open Access, is located. No problem with running a publisher from a house, but it seems a little strange nonetheless.…

‘Biased’ and ‘unethical’: Journal objects to Scopus delisting  buff.ly/b9c2tGH

I was recently interviewed by @ClaudiaCivinin, writing for @QSCorporate Insights. One of the things she mentioned was how I went public (as I used to post anonymously). I always said I would go public once my X /Twitter account got to 10,000 followers. I thought I had a couple…

This looks like a very interesting conference, with some great speakers: buff.ly/Wj4DpcX. Lisa Bero will be talking about "Hijacking research integrity: What can possibly go wrong and how can we fix it?" I wonder if she will talk about generative AI. I'm guessing yes…

Delighted to be able to contribute to this QS Insights article by CC which looked at how Gen AI is creating a zombie internet. Very happy to be mentioned in the same article as the likes of @jason_koebler | @slinacre | @aaronsnoswell | @ivanoransky | @RetractionWatch Thanks to…

In April 2024 I tweeted about two papers that had "Regenerate Response" as part of the article. These had actually been pointed out by @gcabanac who had raised the issue on #PubPeer. These papers were published in 2023, so that are now about two years old. Both papers are still…

We were sent this email, which had been received from International Journal of Clinical Studies and Medical Case Reports (IJCMCR). (ISSN: 2692-5877). We wonder how much the DOI and processing charges are? Note: Only the red highlight is ours. Journal URL buff.ly/yAXQYb5…

This article, published about two years ago is still online and still has "Regenerate Response" in the article. Either @ieeeorg should do something, or the authors should take action and ask for it to be retracted. This article is indexed by @Scopus, and is being cited. Should…

I have been fortunate enough to publish three articles on the work of Jeffrey Beall. If you are interested in #PredatoryPublishing and/or the work of Beall, please take a look. 1️⃣ Kendall, G. (2021) Beall's legacy in the battle against predatory publishers. Learned Publishing,…

In an article by @ClaudiaCivinin, writing for @QSCorporate Insights, I commented on why I started posting about Predatory Publishing. buff.ly/uYXrN0b One of the catalysts was reading about Jeffrey Beall, which led to writing my first article on this topic: 1️⃣ Kendall,…

This looks like a very interesting conference, with some great speakers: buff.ly/Wj4DpcX. Elisabeth Bik will be talking about "Images, fabrication and More". To be honest, this is not an area that I know about - at least from a medical/blot POV, but I have no doubts…
