EASE 2025 Welcome to the website of the International Conference on Evaluation and Assessment in Software Engineering (EASE), 2025 edition. EASE is an internationally leading venue for academics and practitioners to present and discuss their research on evidence-based software engineering, and its implications for software practice. EASE is ranked as A conference in CORE. The 29th edition of EASE will take place in Istanbul, Turkey. EASE 2025 welcomes high-quality submissions, describing original and unpublished research for the following tracks: full research papers, short papers & emerging r ...

On my way to Istanbul for EASE 2025 to give a keynote at the doctoral symposium, act as session chair, and discuss the research track as co-pc chair together with my wonderful colleague Viktoria Stray. #ease2025 https://conf.researchr.org/home/ease-2025

Can't agree with you more, @alicemeadows.bsky.social!
It was a superb @easeeditors.bsky.social Conference #EASE2025 indeed!
It was so lovely to see you at last! 😄

Shining a critical light at realities of #Ukrainian journals in occupied territories was Iryna Izarova, chair of Ukrainian chapter @easeeditors.bsky.social, and the crucial work they have been doing to develop strategies against mis-appropriation.

Great point made at @easeeditors.bsky.social #easeoslo #ease2025 that it is unethical to upload private manuscripts submitted to a journal with a public LLM like ChatGPT or DeepSeek for the purpose of creating a peer review report. I don't think that this has been communicated widely enough.

Nice presentation of the new #preprint server VeriXiv by @georgecoops.bsky.social at @easeeditors.bsky.social conference #EASE2025 #EASEOslo

At the @easeeditors.bsky.social conference #ease2025 #easeoslo I really appreciated the presentation by @mikethelwall.bsky.social about the dangerously plausible #peerreview reports generated by #ChatGPT - even for fictional articles about squirrel surgeons.

A celebration of #metadata at @easeeditors.bsky.social conference #ease2025 #easeoslo. @nintscheke.bsky.social is our metadata guru at @scienceopen.bsky.social. You can check out www.scienceopen.com to see what your Crossref metadata looks like in the wild.

One intesting takeaway: Only a tiny number of super-users are swamping social media with disinformation in a broadly concerted way. We need to develop better, broader alliances to counter-effect those and uncover the mostly monetary(+power) motives driving this deliberate division

She continued: "Scientific uncertainty doesn't mean we are uncertain ourselves. We may be relatively certain about how uncertain science is."

”You are needed as gatekeepers today more than ever,” said the Mayor of Oslo, Anne Lindboe, to us scientific editors at the 18th #EASE2025 Conference, hosted by @easeeditors.bsky.social. Deeply resonant. #scienceediting #researchintegrity #academicpublishing

Why is it so urgent to act against misinformation?

Nicolien van der Linden shared:

"If we can’t agree on what disinformation is, how can we fight it? What exactly are we combating?"
