"Fact-checking is how journals could add real value at a time when the academic community — which is also carrying out peer review, usually as a labor of love — are questioning what publishers bring to the table apart from typesetting and copy-editing articles and making them look pretty."

Scientific Journals Need Dedicated Fact-Checkers

Opinion | An additional layer of quality control could help academic publishers weed out problematic content before it propagates.

Put pressure on publishers to follow best practice — external regulation is the answer www.nature.com/articles/d41... Many probs: Predatory journals, slow retraction, paper mills, faulty studies... "...external oversight could push journals and publishers to work harder to reduce integrity..."

Put pressure on publishers to follow best practice — external regulation is the answer

Journals that work hard to meet the needs of both authors and readers should be acknowledged publicly — encouraging others to follow suit.

»Wir leben in einer totalen Reputationsökonomie, in der Karrieren weniger über wissenschaftlichen und damit gesellschaftlichen Impact, sondern über Surrogate wie Zitierhäufigkeit des Publikationsorgans (sprich: Impact Factor), Zahl der Publikationen und eingeworbene Drittmittel gesteuert werden.«

Der 77. und leider letzte Streich unseres „Wissenschaftsnarren“ Dirnagl vorab online: „Der Narr tritt ab!“ — Ein letztes Mal noch spießt er die Schwächen und Probleme im Wissenschaftssystem auf, vor allem dessen pervertierte Bewertungs- und Karrierepraxis. 👉 www.laborjournal.de/editorials/3...

Gezeichnetes Hofnarrenporträt als Logo des Wissenschaftnarren. Rechts daneben Überschrift "Der Narr tritt ab!" des im Post verlinkten Artikels, gefolgt von dessen Vorspann mit dem Text: "Sie lesen die 77. und letzte Folge der Einsichten des Wissenschaftsnarren. Ist im Wissenschaftssystem etwa nichts mehr aufzuspießen? Weit gefehlt."

Hate that it has come to this, but it's time to consider PubMed vulnerable to enshittification. My latest post @plos.org discusses the lines we need to fight to hold – and alternatives we can rely on internationally: absolutelymaybe.plos.org/2025/02/14/w... #medlibs

What if We Can't Rely on PubMed? - Absolutely Maybe

PubMed is incredibly reliable. And a lot depends on it. It’s an ecosystem built around MEDLINE, the steady feed of new publications…
