🎩👀 Ah yes, because nothing says "ethical scientific progress" quite like turning a PDF dump into a bewildering mess of numbers and , right? 🙄 Of course, let's add some cryptic military jargon for good measure, because who needs clarity when you have chaos! 📄💥

Is there a trust index for journals. As in something scientists can use to select which journals should be preferred for submitting to based on their quality of edition, reviewing, and processing? Maybe throw in a bit about sustainable practices in as well, or gender equality? Asking for a friend who wants to turn the tables on the IF. #AcademicPublishing #OpenScience #ethicalscience

Research Integrity & the Future of Scientific Publishing

Heliox: Where Evidence Meets Empathy (E3 S6)

There's a crisis in scientific publishing that most people don't know about, but it affects everyone who relies on medical research, technological advancement, or scientific progress.

Fantastic new paper by @anneurai and @clarekelly: "Rethinking academia in a time of #ClimateCrisis." elifesciences.org/articles/849

The authors use Kate Raworth's "#DoughnutFramework" to identify where #academia is in shortfall and in overshoot, and propose a call to action fit for the climate and ecological crisis all around us.

Figure 2 in the paper. Figure caption: "Seven ways to think like a 21st century scientist. 1. Change the goal: from a business that produces papers and graduated students, towards a university that works towards the inside space of the academic doughnut. 2. Get savvy with systems: from feeling like a cog in the university machine, towards being gardeners of our academic system. 3. See the big picture: from academics who look out over the world from their ivory tower, towards scholarship which accepts its own embeddedness in (and dependence on) society and the planet. 4. Create to regenerate: from a rat race where we tread water, towards “slow scholarship” that values community building, deep thinking and rest crucial for intellectual work. 5. Nurture human nature: from the lone genius, towards team science. 6. Design to distribute: from a funding system where the rich get richer, towards a fair distribution of opportunities and resources. 7. Be agnostic about growth: from a focus on increasing numbers of papers, citations and students, towards rebuilding trust in our own academic communities and with society."

The Nuremberg trial established new standards for medical research ethics and reinforced the idea that scientists are morally and criminally liable for their actions. Science must be used for social progress and the protection of human dignity. #EthicalScience (4/4)
