AND an improvement in integrity education, and the main one - a change in the incentive structure within academia. As long as we equate citations with “quality”, there will be publication manipulation. Here endeth the lesson.
@Spottingthespot@timeshighered@C0PE Anyone can ask COPE to assess whether a member journal acted appropriately, whereas if the journal is not a member, no-one can really hold it to account.
@Spottingthespot@timeshighered@C0PE Any journal can investigate and retract, COPE member or not. By being a COPE member the journal agrees to abide by the guidelines, and is hence held to a higher standard, benefiting from COPE resources, advice and any perceived quality/approval by association.
🚨Apparently all NIH Study Sections have been suspended indefinitely.
For those who don’t know, this means there won’t be any review of grants submitted to NIH
Depending on how long this goes on for, this could lead to an interruption in billions in research funding.
I hope this doesn't come across as a whine, we have come SO FAR in the last couple of years, but there is still such a long way to go, and despite our best efforts, fraud (or at least attempted fraud) feels to be on the increase.
Opinion: Publishers need more help to combat malicious academic networks
Better tech alignment, industry guidance and identity verification would all help – as would meaningful and visible punishments, says Kim Eggleton

For #PeerReviewWeek this week, we released over 1,600 historical peer review reports on our #ScienceInTheMaking platform for the years 1949-1954, a significant period that marked the arrival of female scientists into the refereeing process. Read more on our blog: https://t.co/n8aRsaihGt
At @ioppublishing we're working hard to make bad-mannered reviews a thing of the past. Among other things), we have dedicated, internal Editors who screen out problematic comments BEFORE they get to authors #PeerReviewWeek#PeerReviewWeek24

@EddieRawlings@Nature@skdh Not at all. But “this is rubbish” isn’t helping anyone. How could the author make it better? What’s been missed? Is there potential for it to be improved? If so, how? You can be critical without being rude.
Other things we've introduced include:
- anonymous peer review
- publication of reviews with the article
- reviewer feedback programme
- co-review
- free, detailed reviewer training
As Publishers and Editors we have a responsibility.
