Update: Editor of IEEE Sensors who refused to retract the plagiarized paper & insisted correctness, permit authors to publish corrections with new references to help them. Checking linkedin of Editor found him friend of main author. Typical @SensorsCouncil @IEEEorg corruption.

[Science Integrity @ScIntegrity]

Plagiarized paper prepared by #Papermill accepted in few weeks by collusion ring.Notified the editor more than 8 months ago &he still agree to publish it.Shame on @SensorsCouncil & @IEEEorg https://t.co/ETouisGtO3 #AcademicChatter #AcademicTwitter #phdchat @OpenAcademics #PhDlife

@CyberInfinite Hi, we are not experts in IT, but we are experts in science integrity... we found these links circulating between collusion rings as a resource https://t.co/acxwvhtoST
and https://t.co/q120RXLvna
We believe this is yours

The most parsimonious explanation seems to be that the author has plagiarised his own lead-authored article using synonym software to get a preprint, with hilarious results.

If u still publishing in #Elsevier,remember sharing ur own paper is restricted & use ur own paper in teaching only if library is subscribed to #Elsevier.Why do we do this to ourselves? #AcademicChatter #openaccess #AcademicTwitter #NoElsevier #PhDLife #profTwitter #ScienceTwitter

[Chris Banks (she/her) @ChrisBanks]

Brilliant summary by @SallyRumsey1 of the completely conflicting sharing advice provided by #Elsevier to researchers publishing in Elsevier journals. Also, authors can make *some* use of THEIR OWN WORK *if* their library has a subscription.

[Science Integrity @ScIntegrity]

@nickwizzo @IOPPublishing 90% of @IOPPublishing Conference Series are either trashy, fraudulent, or plagiarised papers. I never saw any good papers there for a while.

@dfflanders @rschconsulting @OASPA Whoever thought @OASPA was a neutral organisation is erred, @OASPA is just another clown in the pocket of legacy "for-profit" publishers, it was created & funded to protect them.

[Science Integrity @ScIntegrity]

@WimThiery @ResearchGate Apologize in advance for the sarcastic comment. Researcher was caught infringing copyright of specific content
Was it for a musical track,NO
Was it for a software,NO
It was for a paper that he wrote & a research he conducted,This is how publishing with for-profit publishers works

[Science Integrity @ScIntegrity]

When u devote life & time to publish research then u end up receiving threatening emails if u shared it."For-profit" publishers are willing to suck the life out of you to flourish their business #AcademicChatter #AcademicTwitter #profTwitter #icanhazpdf #phdfriend #ScienceTwitter

[Wim Thiery @WimThiery]

Dear @ResearchGate,

Thank you for your message and the threat to suspend my account. To avoid this from happening in the future, my group will never submit a paper to an #Elsevier journal again.

#OpenScience

Kind regards,
Prof. Wim Thiery

Want to retain the right to distribute your author's accepted manuscript (AAM)?

Step 1: Add the following text to the cover page or acknowledgements of your paper before submission to a journal: “A CC BY or equivalent licence is applied to the AAM arising from this submission.”

[jean-claude Guédon @jcdrg]

The impact factor is indeed a toxic indicator. It has been successful because it structures a commercial market under the pretense of addressing the evaluation of research results. Without the IF, no journal market, and no journal treated as a commodity!!!

[Science Integrity @ScIntegrity]

@rpotter_9 This is why, most of their co-authors/collaborators are from Chinese universities. This is the case of most universities in Australia. The Australian Research Integrity Committee is on extended leave (for years)

[Science Integrity @ScIntegrity]

@rpotter_9 The cybersecurity research department at Monash university is largely occupied by Chinese researchers, who have big research profiles built by Chinese #papermill industry & collusion rings to get hired & tenured smoothly, Most of their publications are ambiguous & unreproducible

[Science Integrity @ScIntegrity]

@SallyRumsey1 @petersuber if she mentioned the word "open" without coupling it with "APC" :) she will be the ex-Editor-in-Chief of Nature

[Science Integrity @ScIntegrity]

This is how #papermill works, fake papers in auction, You pay based on authorship preference. For ur department mention this canned justification "international collaboration" full list https://t.co/OBs6HbhrK9 #AcademicChatter #AcademicTwitter #profTwitter #icanhazpdf #phdfriend

@rmounce Who said Wiley paid twice, for friends, they implement "Pay for one logo, get another for free"

[Science Integrity @ScIntegrity]

@KlaasvanDijk5 @rmounce They are all playing their roles under different names and affiliations to protect the ecosystem of the legacy for-profit publishers, we just think they are neutral but the conflict of interests is obvious in their actions

[Toby Steiner @cmplxtv_studies]

APCs ranging from 1,149 to 4,479 USD (+surcharge) 🤦‍♂️

"In my view this level of APC is excessive, which is why I call this Fool’s Gold Open Access."

[Science Integrity @ScIntegrity]

We need to reduce our dependency on legacy for-profit publishers like #Elsevier, to start saying "that is enough",to decline the big deal &to use this money to invest in ethical approaches to academic publishing #AcademicTwitter #profTwitter #icanhazpdf #phdfriend #ScienceTwitter

[CORE @oacore]

How might we reduce our #dependency on legacy publishers such as #Elsevier? Just like a cable TV subscription, it is significantly cheaper and convenient to buy everything, than it is to just buy what you really need. More about it: https://t.co/utDqh7jIcT

[Peter Byard Davis @PeterByardDavis]

So much wrong here: an ad, yet masquerading as tweet. Open Science/OA being outmanoeuvered by legacy publishers. Gold OA a gift: it requires high APCs, promotes "double dipping", and allows legacy publishers to appropriate OA mantle. Elsevier makes monopoly returns. @openscience

[Science Integrity @ScIntegrity]

Received honorarium after reviewing several grant proposals,most don't encourage funding,doing this for last 3 years with same funding agency. Is paying for peer-review compromise integrity?acceptance /rejection depends on work not reviewer #AcademicChatter #icanhazpdf #phdfriend
