Overpublishing puts enormous stress on students and PIs.

And brings tons of money to publishers in STEM.

A new study shows that the number of papers is increasing FASTER than the number of #PhD graduates.

It’s an amazing work with very useful statistics. Huge kudos to the authors!

▫️

Main outcomes:

1️⃣ In 2022 the number of articles is 47% higher than in 2016. The amount of writing, reviewing and editing workload per scientist is increased enormously.

2️⃣ “Special issues” is a strategy for publishing lots of papers with reduced review time. This is possible due to the “publish or perish” pressure and clearly benefits the publishers.

3️⃣ The publishing time varies widely!
MDPI = 37 days. Frontiers = 72 days. Elsevier = 134 days. Springer = 157 days. Nature = 185 days.

4️⃣ The article rejection rates do not seem to correlate with publisher growth. However, rejection rates decline with increased use of special issue publishing.

5️��� Certain for-profit gold-open-access publishers create an increasing number of special issues, with uniquely reduced turnaround times, and in specific cases, high impact inflation and reduced rejection rates.

6️⃣ The authors suggest a new metric - Impact Inflation, which is reflected in self-citation within the same journal. For example, MDPI has a high impact inflation due to excessive self-citation compared to other publishers.

Conclusions and my opinion:

- Scientists have to spend a lot more time on reviewing and writing than before (on average).

- The more papers are published, the more the quality is compromised.

- Scientific progress has become partially bound to the business models of publishers and their revenue (a sad reality today).

- There is a huge lack of transparency. Much of these data had to be ‘web-scraped’ from numerous sources in order to get a full picture. We clearly need regulators to mandate open access to publisher’s statistics.

- Reduce the number of special issues! Those typically have low standards.

▫️

Science, publishing and funding make a trio that is very hard to disentangle.

However, research quality is controlled by the community.

This is why preprint + community review can make a big difference.

امروز با حضور در اداره پلیس آلمان رسما شکایت خودمان را علیه نفرت پراکنی و تروریزم ثبت کردیم،نزدیک به دو ساعت پیگیری نهایتا به این نتیجه رسیدیم که بخش های مختلف پلیس اعم از جنایی و مدعی العموم از این ماجرا باخبر شده اند؛ اشخاص زیادی فیلم مورد نظر را ارسال کرده و خواستار رسیدگی شده اند.کشورهایی که در آن حاکمیت قانون وجود دارد مجالی برای فاشیست ها نمی دهد که نابودی و نسل کشی هزاره ها را تبلیغ کنند.
دولت های اروپایی و کشور آلمان باید مراقب این انسان نماها باشند زیرا هر لحظه خطر افراطیت در جامعه شان فاجعه آفرین می شود.

نمی توانیم نسبت به این انسان نمای درنده خو بی تفاوت بمانیم.

[Asif Ashna @AsifAshnaa]

به سر و صورت این انسان نما که نگاه کنیم، فقط تعجب روی دست آدم می‌ماند و بس. یعنی آدمی تا این حد می‌تواند درنده‌خو و شرارت پیشه باشد؟

در ضمن دوستی نوشته این شخص هارون عزیزی نام دارد و تازه در کشور آلمان پناهنده شده‌است. از ��وستانی که در آلمان زندگی می‌کننده انتظار می‌رود این مساله را پی گیری کنند و ویدیو را به اداره مهاجرت آلمان بفرستد.

@wahidhaidari95 @ABaerbock @GermanyDiplo Germans have to take full control of the process themselves. No single Afghan or Afghan NGOs should be allowed in the process. This is heartening to me as an Afghan myself, but let the truth be told.

[Mustafa Nasiri @NasiriMustafa]

@wahidhaidari95 @ABaerbock @GermanyDiplo Therefore this is the second time Germany has spotted this sort of corruption in their evacuation task force team and stopped the process. Whenever there are Afghans involved in a system, it would be very naive not to expect corruption there.

زمانه ای ما، زمانه ای بدیست. در زمانه ای بسر میبریم که مدعیان حقوق بشر و حقوق زن، سی و پنج میلیون بشر و زن را تحویل یک گروه تروریستی میدهند تا سلاخی شوند. سپس یک حامی و لابیگر آن گروه را نامزد جایزه صلح میسازند.

Taliban militants have shot dead two men in Kabul Pul-i Sukhta area accused them of being NRF members.

The men were shot in their car while they were traveling. There is no court or judiciary in Taliban militants govt, they kills civilians even if they are not proven guilty.

Professor Sachs is a remarkable truth-teller. I wish the west had such conscious leaders, who would be concerned about global harmony and peace.

Cistern: Effective practice for farmers and households in arid areas is to catch rainwater, store it, and use it through efficient irrigation practices, like drip irrigation methods for small farming, kitchen gardening, and even irrigating small-sized orchards.

Farming in the Sahel isn’t easy. It’s an area that suffers from degraded soils, erratic rainfall and is subject to long periods of drought.

See how @FAO is helping farmers across the region to produce food and thrive despite the changing climate.

@HarunRozbehB در پیوست با همین تاریخ، دیروز طالبی بر چند سرباز پاکستانی در مرز اسپین بولدک آتش گشود و سبب درگیری میان دو طرف. این موضوع را دیگر اقوام غیر پشتون جزئی می پندارند، در حالیکه یکی از عوامل مهم مداخلات آی ایس آی، تضعیف و بلاخره شکست دولتها در افغانستان همین خط است.
