Sixteen years ago today, Ivan Oransky and Adam Marcus founded Retraction Watch. Happy birthday to us!
Celebrating Retraction Watch’s 16th birthday, how sweet it is
Suddenly, we’re 16. And what a year it has been. Our birthday (and annual birthday post) comes on the heels of one of the biggest stories we’ve told this year: The unreported death of a 6-yea…

"Dubious research tied to the company...". Once again 😡
The Examination@theexamination.org · 6d agoFor over a decade, @redbull.com funded studies that disputed the risks of consuming energy drinks and alcohol together — and research tied to the company has been used to roll back public health regulations in Canada and elsewhere. Read our latest investigation:
La masse (administrative) sombre de la recherche, à la fois sur- (empilement de règles, procédures etc.) et sous- bureaucratisée (délégation aux individus des tâches, disparition des personnels supports, etc.)
David Monniaux@monniauxd.bsky.social · last wk.blogs.mediapart.fr/david-monnia... Depuis vingt ans, les structures de la recherche scientifique française sont réorganisées. Dans le même temps, on a assisté à son décrochage. C’est donc, en toute logique, de nouvelles réformes de structure que l’on suggère pour remédier à ce décrochage.

Models for funding open access journal article publishing can be sorted into three categories, organized by who pays and what they pay for: transactional, collective action, and subvention.

OpenAlex just launched OpenAlex Query Language (OQL) in *alpha*. This is a powerful and expressive query language that allows you to run queries you couldn't do before. I think evidence synthesis is definitely one of the big use cases as you see big improvements e.g proximity, nesting and/or etc(1)

A few weeks ago I shared my view that prediction markets like Kalshi and Polymarket should be made illegal. Today it was announced that Kalshi is now taking bets on FDA drug approvals and clinical trial outcomes. These markets are metastasizing and nothing good can come of it.

Prediction market platform Kalshi will start taking bets on the outcomes of clinical trials and FDA regulatory reviews, it said on Thursday, making drug-development odds public for the first time.

Thought-provoking article that argues how AI in research doesn't remove the scholar's responsibilities (identifying good questions, interpreting results, being accountable for them) but changes the speed of execution. Via @timeshighered.bsky.social www.timeshighereducation.com/depth/ai-era...
In the AI era, the human struggle can no longer be the point of research
The rush to regulate the use of artificial intelligence in scholarly inquiry looks like a defence of intellectual craft. In reality, it’s an act of institutional self-preservation, says Ian Richardson
