@SciGuardians The #uBiome scientist Elisabeth Bik runs #PubPeer / PubSmear as a kangaroo court: all of her victims are guilty until proven innocent

Hey @grok, in this post @SciGuardians says that
@Wikipedia has been infiltrated by #Pubpeer. In another post (referenced in this post), @lsanger
says of Wikepedia that
"an anonymous mob runs the show".
Is there evidence that i) #Pubpeer has infiltrated Wikipedia and ii) it is #Pubpeer that Larry Sanger is referring to?
🚨 In November 2025, we revealed how the PubPeer "PubSmear"* Network Mob had deeply infiltrated Wikipedia.
* (PubSmear — a term used to describe PubPeer, a post-publication peer review platform that has been extensively abused as a tool to harass, smear, and defame members of the academic community for personal, commercial, and institutional interests; the term was officially entered into the 🇺🇸 United States Congressional Record on 3 June 2026.)
⚠️ We documented what we described as a four-stage operation:
Fabrication ➡️ Defamation ➡️ Legitimization ➡️ Formalization
The final stage is amplification—using biased outlets, compromised journalists, and ultimately manipulated Wikipedia pages to cement defamatory narratives against their targets.
⚠️ When an encyclopedia can be used to reinforce coordinated campaigns rather than present balanced information, its credibility is called into question.
Enough is enough. Society deserves honest sources of information and knowledge—grounded in transparency, accountability, and intellectual integrity.
📌 The ScienceGuardians™’ November 2025 investigation documenting this operation is linked in the comments below. 👇
🔱 @SciGuardians 🔱
Accountability. Integrity. Empowerment.
In a CHD article, El-Deiry is quoted complaining that PubPeer has no “citizenship requirements.”
And they say he seems to be equating raising scientific concerns with being charged with a crime. 🚔

🚨My latest #PubPeer comment is up. 🧵
Original article finds neuroanatomical differences assoc' w/ e-cig use: https://t.co/zy1biqYHGX
The article acknowledges directionality is unknown and that "differences may precede or follow e-cigarette initiation"...
@jkelovuori @recoqnitions @jgitchell @GregTHR @cdoug @grove_mitchell @JMacNYC @ChaunceyGardner @LanceChurchill @imaracingmom Second PubPeer! This is exactly the situation it's for. And even better, for people who have the browser plugin, it flags any website that contains a reference to any and every paper that has a PubPeer comment, with a banner at the top of the page.
We recently submitted a brief research report to the Frontiers journal Environmental Engineering. There was a clearly unethical reviewer who was not dismissed by the journal editors. See a comment on what happened at #PubPeer: https://t.co/8QeWxeUWS5
@cjsnowdon I would encourage you to post a Rapid Response to @TC_BMJ and post to #PubPeer, Chris.
This would seem like an unfortunate lapse in the peer review process of this highly cited journal.
Over at the blue site, Dorothy Bishop shares a blogpost reporting a nice analysis of recent (2021-2025) retractions of highly-cited papers in relation to #PubPeer.

@mkeulemans ...uhh Maarten...
...je weet hopelijk ook dat #Pubpeer al is omgedoopt tot #Pubsmeer!
(zou er toch maar even wat dieper induiken...)

I know this one well. Just look at the link! It's targeted harassment.

Just days ago, this biskrensis creep did our paper.
And in just under 2 weeks, this same creep (just 1 of many) went after 33!! separate PUBLISHED journal articles in the ONCOTARGET journal ALONE, with nothing but BS and nonsense "critiques".
@weldeiry @Kevin_McKernan @KUPERWASSERLAB @SecKennedy @SenRonJohnson @brownstoneinst @chrismartenson @thevivafrei
I have posted on #Pubpeer about this paper, see https://t.co/AzgfOM7VgP.
You can see the original post here: https://t.co/J60IIGw0OE.
You might also be interested in https://t.co/YoN03jD0lt.
It's perhaps a little ironic that this recent (or should that be future, as it is being published in 2026?) is getting some remarks on #PubPeer.
The article is available here: https://t.co/0KlSGmWHwe
You can see the PuPeer comments here: https://t.co/RpRM4F3OT3, but I'll pick up on a few points.
1️⃣ Article 2, supposedly authored by Bik, E.M. (@MicrobiomDigest) does not seem to exist and Bik says that she did not author the article.
2️⃣ Article 3 does not seem to exist. This article was supposedly written by Ivan Oransky (@ivanoransky) of @RetractionWatch fame.
3️⃣ Article 4 does not exist. I looked at 23(5) of Science and Engineering Ethics (see https://t.co/3MhHKKh8fq), and this issue does not include the cited paper. Indeed, this issue only goes up to page 1459 (and not 1511, which is the start page of the cited article). And, yes, I looked at 23(6) and the cited article is not there either.
Not quite what to take away from all of this. #LLM hallucinations? Not checked by the authors?
Not sure what will be the outcome. Expression of Concern ? Retraction?
Take a look at the PubPeer comments to see what you think and let me know in the comments.
Readers of @NTR_Journal may find this #PubPeer post from @Clive_Bates responding to an LtE from Profs Bero and Cohen of interest.

Oh, look who’s talking ... trying to cover for her own #PubPeer whitewasher @allostericstate. The queen of harassment and cancel culture herself. Your crew, including that psychopath Leonid Schneider, has bullied and humiliated countless academics, and only the Lord knows how many lives you and your mob have ruined so far for your own gain.
@allostericstate is just a rookie learning your sick playbook. @UniofNewcastle @TheYueLab should investigate this rookie TJ McCorvie now ... before he grows into yet another serial harasser!!!
Interesting! The online harasser, bully and #PubPeer whitewasher @allostericstate has crawled out of his hole again. He was called out for misinformation and cowardly conduct a while ago and then went underground.
As always, report this fraud @allostericstate to his university and its management. @UniofNewcastle

@PatOMartin9 @BELLACI40670350 @UNC_Optics @xazalbert @raoult_didier @Pr_Chabriere_E @Olivierfente She was either directly involved in the #uBiome fraud or was not capable of seeing massive fraud taking place right under her nose. Either way, she has absolutely no credibility as an "integrity sleuth". We're amazed that she still has a cult following at #PubPeer
Something very significant quietly growing under our eyes. Sholto David @addictedtoigno1 has started to focus on Nature papers, and what he is posting on #Pubpeer is troubling. Not sure how he selects his target papers, but the number of “hits” every day suggests that a good proportion of what he is looking at contains manipulations (at least duplications). These papers are from highly diverse life science fields. Pls RT. @WCRIFoundation @RetractionWatch @lonnibesancon @mumumouse2 @cpiller
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 in print and no response has been made in Pubpeer.
I have downloaded both papers on 21 Jul 2025 - just so that there is a record. They both have the "regenerate Response" text still in them.
⭕ Paper 1:
Hexapod Robot Gait Switching Based on Different Wild Terrains: https://t.co/7eeWgA6qhD
PubPeer: https://t.co/mJBVAttIbo
⭕ Paper 2:
Comparison of Edge Computing Scheduling Algorithms: https://t.co/wQSoJLtcbE
PubPeer: https://t.co/iHQAHqmaul
⭕ IEEE Conference policies
IEEE does have a policy of using AI generated text (see third image).
You can see the full policy here: https://t.co/kKhaTKghs4 (archived at https://t.co/ouzyjuRabL).
As far as I can see, the authors have not made any declaration of using AI to generate any of the text in their article.
