Hey Siri, show me a system that looks to filter out the scientific discoveries of women with seniority. The paper confirms the hostility many of us feel is baked into the editorial & peer review community (sitting behind a veil of anonymity) that prefer to see papers led by women thrown out.

Excerpt from the paper: Gendered effects in peer review At Science and Science Advances, manuscripts with women corresponding authors make up a gradually declining share from submission to review to acceptance (20.9% → 20.8% → 19.7% → 17.9% and 22.3% → 21.4% → 21.3% → 20.1%, respective-ly; Fig. 2B). Accounting for available covari-ates via multiple logistic regression reveals a small but statistically significant association with corresponding author gender in being sent to review or accepted after review (B = -0.08, P < 0.001 for sent to review; B = -0.13, P = 0.011 for accepted; tables S8 and S11).% plot of women’s representation among first authors (solid symbols), corresponding authors (open symbols), and among first-round peer reviewers (crossed symbols) over the evaluation process.

"don't cite what you haven't read" remains the basic entry level academic responsibility; & if your discpline "doesn't have that as a norm" then sorry, your discipline needs reforming for this new world. Citations are structural parts of trust and knowledge building, not trinkets or optional extras

Academics and technologists are sounding the alarm about a growing crisis in scholarship as we know it: AI-generated citations of nonexistent papers that have infested real journals. Despite being fake, the sources are widely assumed to be authentic the more they appear in published literature.

The anatomy of an AI-supported academic article is becoming more apparent. I desk reviewed ~70 manuscripts this week for our journal. Reckon 20ish had significant AI assistance. On top of hundreds of others recently I'm starting to see patterns. Are other editors are seeing the same or similar? 1/

The Interior Department has canceled a rule meant to protect plants and animals that are determined to be threatened with extinction, the latest step by the Trump administration to dismantle key provisions of the landmark Endangered Species Act at the behest of industry. https://to.pbs.org/4f5A17a

U.S. cancels automatic protections for imperiled animals as critics warn of extinctions

Instead of receiving automatic protections, imperiled species will need individualized protection plans once they are added to the threatened species list.

Two years ago, I covered the story of Critically Endangered sawfish mysteriously swimming around in circles until they die. Today at the American Elasmobranch Society meeting, there’s a whole symposium about this topic. www.southernfriedscience.com/critically-e...

Critically Endangered sawfish are spinning in circles until they die. What the heck is going on?

An epidemic of spinning disease is killing these Critically Endangered animals in a horrifying way. I spoke to experts to help understand what’s going on and what’s being done to help. …
