Some of you may have noticed that we’ve had a bit of a problem with bots posting comments en masse on @crimrxiv.com pubs. It’s taken a while to sort this out, but thanks to the leadership of Knowledge Futures and the PubPub team, we are finally beginning to resolve it! Thanks all for your support

Key Dates:
Abstracts: June 1, 2026

More info: link.springer.com/collections/...
Reviewer: The authors misquote Smith et al. (2000) and this shows a lack of understanding of the topic.
Editors: This is not acceptable; the article must be rejected.
Me: What the fuck... I didn’t even cite Smith et al. (2000)!
😂

Narcissists are noisy. In academia, politics, and elsewhere
Meaningful research. Collegial team. A pretty remarkable place to live.
We’re recruiting two Lecturers (tenured Assistant Professor equivalent) to join us.
Reminder! We are seeking discussants for a roundtable on repeatability of criminological research at #eurocrim2026 @esc-eurocrim.bsky.social Inform us before 20 March if you are interested @asiermoneva.com @alextrinidad.eurosky.social @isabellevdv.bsky.social
What if some of our fiercest public debates are being shaped not by lies, but by simple mathematical misunderstandings? @lisatompson.bsky.social reveals how using the wrong denominator can dramatically distort our picture of racial disparities in policing.

Yet another criminology article with hallucinated references published in an @elsevierconnect.bsky.social journal. I reported it over a month ago to the journal, but the paper is still online and not retracted

And a different password for every journal as well.
Machi Tseloni has just donated @criminologyuom.bsky.social the entire series of Home Office Crime Reduction Research papers. What a present❤️ I’ll get in touch with our Library to explore ways to digitize all this and make it publicly available and machine-readable (probably through @crimrxiv.com)
📢 Hiring: Postdoc in Criminology / Sociology at UPF
Join @demosocupf.bsky.social as a Postdoc:
📊 Focus: Evaluating penal interventions in Intimate Partner Violence (IPV).
📍 Location: Barcelona, Spain.
🗓️ Deadline: March 15th, 2026.
www.upf.edu/web/politiqu...
Other interesting things: China is now the second country with most accesses to pubs (it used to be UK; now third). Philippines has surpassed Canada as fourth. India has surpassed Germany and France. And Nigeria and Kenya have surpassed Netherlands. This is truly a service to global criminology 🌎🌍🌏
Every now and then I like to have a look at the stats for @crimrxiv.com to see how we’ve been doing. ChatGPT has now solidly surpassed LinkedIn, X and Bing as the third top referrer (behind Google and Google Scholar). One can only assume it will continue to climb the rankings in the coming years
Our first newsletter is out! Read it here: mailchi.mp/d6127976d232... Including a call for a roundtable on replication at #eurocrim
And here is the call for abstracts for the 2026 Cars & Crime Symposium: jmpinasanchez.github.io/static/call%...
Taking place in Ilkley (West Yorkshire) on 30–31 July.
If your work explores the intersection of crime and road traffic (see examples below), send us your abstract.
🗓 Deadline: 17 April
I asked these same questions. I haven’t seen the data but these were roughly the answers: They think this is because Gold OA stored in 1 “scrapable” environment, while Green OA stored in multiple places (closed journal, original repo, connected hubs). They compared non-OA, Diamond, Gold and Green OA
Last week an open access librarian told me they’ve been tracking a trend showing that Green OA (repositories, OA hubs) may be more clearly associated with increased citations than Gold OA (publisher APCs). I know: I haven’t seen the data and citations don’t matter, but isn’t it interesting?
