🚨 In March 2025, Dr. Leslie McIntosh (@FauxSci), VP of Research Integrity at @digitalsci and Founder of Forensic Scientometrics (#FoSci), exposed a disturbing trend in academic integrity. Her article, "Fraud, Blackmail, and the Weaponization of Integrity", reveals how some individuals disguise unethical actions as efforts to uphold scholarly standards, using #intimidation and #deceit to advance personal agendas.
The case of Professor Jörg Rinklebe from the University of Wuppertal (@Uni_Wuppertal), Germany, is a chilling example. 571 of his publications have been targeted on #PubPeer, with over 100 records created in a single month, almost entirely by the anonymous account "Desmococcus antarctica". In total, Rinklebe has 587 records on Scopus, meaning nearly all his published works have been attacked on PubPeer.
Does it ring a bell? 🔔 As quoted in Dr. McIntosh’s article, “I will put all your papers on PubPeer in order to obtain their retractions.” – says the perpetrator.❗
This isn't just an attack on one scholar—it's a systemic issue where a malicious few exploit platforms like PubPeer to tarnish reputations without accountability. Such tactics #WeaponizeIntegrity to #Intimidate and coerce researchers into submission.
Despite the pressure, the @Uni_Wuppertal has cleared Rinklebe of any misconduct to this date based on our sources, standing by their faculty and thoroughly investigating these allegations. Academic integrity must not be hijacked by mob mentality or hidden agendas. Publishers, research integrity teams, and universities must take immediate action to ensure that these platforms are not misused for personal vendettas.
🔱 At ScienceGuardians™, we are proud to be the first and only fully verified journal club that #EmpowersResearchers through comprehensive guidelines, training, and post-publication peer-review. We aim to #ProtectScholars against the very threats being discussed here, promoting a #TransparencyInResearch and #AccountableScience ecosystem.
To researchers everywhere: your work and reputation deserve to be protected from these manipulative tactics. Universities must investigate claims thoroughly and support their faculty through these challenges.
