😱 Depuis quand un gouvernement peut-il décider de ce que les scientifiques peuvent ou ne peuvent pas publier??
Since when can governments decide what should be published or not by scientists??
Resist the censorship!!

Here is a question for writers of scientific papers, or others who have to cite sources in their writing. If you have a situation where a person, in this case Alan Bartholomai, who writes a personal communication to an author, in this case Eugene Gaffney, and that author then reproduces the letter in a publication, how does one correctly cite information contained within the letter?
Would it be "(A. Bartholomai pers. comm to Gaffney in Gaffney, 1981)" ?
"To further boost online engagement, scientists may also be incentivized to review pre-prints. Recent reports suggest that scientists are more motivated to review if they are credited for it, especially if these efforts are recognized by their employers; monetary compensation ranked only sixth"

"Importantly, being an author is not only about credit but also about accountability. Typically, an author will be accountable for the quality and integrity of their own contribution, but also for the work as a whole by ensuring that questions arising post-publication are investigated thoroughly and that materials and data remain available."

Bernd has been pushing this point for a while, and I think he is right. Self correction is an important part of the scientific process and journals, funders, and institutions need to do more to encourage it.
'What can journals do to support both self-correction by authors and by the community? We have discussed this matter for a decade at EMBO Press, culminating in a workshop that recommended to make an explicit distinction between an author initiated- and an externally initiated- or even forced retraction. We use the term “withdrawal” for the former and reserve “retraction” for the latter.'

PNAS commentary on the first year of their Consultative Peer Review Pilot
'The pilot is designed to encourage the submission of research that is sufficiently multidisciplinary and presents a challenge in finding reviewers, is counter to a prevailing view, or is too far ahead of its time to receive a fair review. Authors whose work qualifies for this review option can submit through the pilot to have their work thoroughly and efficiently reviewed by experts in the fields most relevant to their research.'

A privilege to work with @richardsever on this brief commentary piece on preprints, peer review & the special problems posed by medical/clinical manuscripts.
(it should be open access).

"The ideal of self-correction in science is not well served by the current culture and system surrounding amendments to published literature. Here we describe our view of how amendments could and should work by drawing on the idea of an author-led version control system."

Focused on STEM research, not social science, but a worthwhile critical examination of whether or not peer review is really everything it is cracked up to be.
"Why don’t reviewers catch basic errors and blatant fraud? One reason is that they almost never look at the data behind the papers they review, which is exactly where the errors and fraud are most likely to be."

Place your bets
"To try to prove our own brilliance scientifically (before we are replaced by machine learning) is a challenge few editors would be able to resist, and we were no different. We thus set out to test our ability to predict citations of unpublished research papers submitted to The BMJ."
'Fifteen scientific journals published a total of 812 (68.7%) of all 1182 papers retracted for being paper mill papers, and 166 (14.0%) were published in one journal, the European Review for Medicaland Pharmacological Sciences. Of these, all journals appear to be non-predatory journals.'

#ResearchPaper #scientificpublication #publishers At some point we will have to talk, seriously, about all those papers published by invitation, special issues, and all the rest, whose messages are constantly flooding our incoming folders. Sooner or later we will end up coauthoring one or few of them. But, IMHO, we should be very careful about founding a scientific career on them. You might be caught by surprise if a given assessing committee does not value them as you might have expected.
