Today's post summarizes STM's data-sharing guidance for medical and health science publishers, where privacy, regulation, and ethics make generic policy language especially hard to apply.

"They then often had 2–3 days — and in some cases just 24 hours — to assess a manuscript and submit their report to the platform. Most interviewees reported receiving payments of €30–40 (around US$35–45) per review." This right here is why peer review micropayments are a bad idea.

This professor "wrote" over 200 academic papers and 14 books in one year. This is ridiculous. Most people don't even have time to read this many papers and books carefully in a year, let alone write and edit it. This feels like peak AI slop. I'm curious what other people think about this?
SCOOP: Top researchers at Columbia, Stanford, and others thought they were elected to elite scientific societies alongside Nobel laureates. The catch? The organizations are a sham. I spent the last month diving deep into a massive academic scam spanning continents, for @nature.com
