I rarely do content warnings but this is very bad. Like with some movies, I had to take breaks. Why this is so bad is the core of all traumatic events: the impossibility to understand the why.

The Future of Archives of Science: An Interview with Polina Ilieva

"Contemporary science is evolving at a breathtaking pace, but archival practice is struggling to keep up—especially when it comes to capturing not just the final products of research but the full, dynamic process by which science is made."

“the move seems to be a case of austerity dressed up as ethical decision-making, withdrawing support for the idea of #OpenAccess while claiming it’s all about profiteering” (ouch!) Some hard truths in the linked article below - both it and @richardsever.bsky.social’s commentary well worth reading👇

Six overlapping circles illustrating the six types of openness in the MORPHSS typology: epistemic openness, participatory openness, process openness, evidentiary openness, availability of outputs and the accessible communication of research.

Figure illustrating the MORPHSS typology's six forms of openness and their audiences, participants and publics (participants and communities, academic audiences and non-academic audiences)

We present and unpack the MORPHSS typology of forms of openness in the arts, humanities and qualitative social sciences, and the range of actors and audiences to whom these forms and practices of openness "open up" research:

65th and 66th retractions for the IHU in Marseille.

The 53rd and 54th for Didier Raoult.

Lack of ethical approval or repurposing of ethical approval.

As usual, the authors are not responding, and the university is clumsily attempting to cover it up.

I’ll be leaving PCI in May to begin a new postdoc, which means my current position will soon be open!

INTERVIEW David Boilley Physicien à l’université de Caen Normandie, David Boilley traque depuis plusieurs années la piste d’une équipe indienne inondant la littérature scientifique de publications frauduleuses.

Quels sont les risques de laisser des articles faux dans la littérature ? Les conséquences sont évidemment moins lourdes en physique fondamentale qu’en oncologie où une récente étude montre que 10% des articles proviennent de paper mills, alors que des vies humaines en dépendent… (...) Cela nuit à la confiance dans la science.

🟢 Le marathon de la rétractation

Depuis plusieurs années, David Boilley bataille auprès d’éditeurs, parfois très frileux, pour que des articles de mauvaise qualité voire frauduleux soient rétractés

Our two Iranian co-authors, Saeed Shafiei Sabet of the University of Guilan and Marziyeh Amini Fard may not know about these positive reviews for our manuscript, because my emails to them continue to bounce. I wanted to recognize them here because I'm very concerned about their future.

Nouvelle coupe dans les subventions publiques au CNRS : pour les chercheurs, «des budgets éternellement en baisse» Le Premier ministre demande 20 millions d’euros d’économies supplémentaires au Centre national de la recherche scientifique, parmi lesquels 13,5 millions d’euros de crédits déjà alloués à ses laboratoires, qui seront retirés.

La nouvelle a fait l’effet d’un choc dans les labos.
