My @morebrains.coop colleague @alicemeadows.bsky.social, @irfanullah.bsky.social, and I were all lucky enough to be in Oslo a couple of weeks ago for the @easeeditors.bsky.social #EASEconference
We talk about some of our personal highlights and insights in today's @scholarlykitchen.bsky.social post
The closing debate of #easeeditors #easeconference @irfanullah.bsky.social fighting an uphill battle but doing a great job of arguing that editors should not worry about disinformation.
Really important points by Sofie Wennström, speaking about @thinkchecksub.bsky.social at #easeconference.
In the discussion about author behaviour when it comes to predatory journals, poor university / employer support and training isn't talked about enough
Iryna Izarova of University of Ukraine is presenting on the challenges of conducting scientific publishing in an occupied country.

Day 3 at #easeconference. My colleague @morebrains.coop, @alicemeadows.bsky.social giving the keynote on author identity in the age of misinformation
A slide of free tools and resources for journal editors
Handy slide from Daniel Stuckey of @elsevierconnect.bsky.social with a list of free research integrity tools and resources for journal editors. #easeconference
Madhura Amdekar of @crossref.bsky.social highlights the Xref research nexus (essentially a knowledge graph for research) and Crossmark, which is about retraction and correction metadata.
Crossmark needs greater adoption, given how serious a problem retracted articles has become. #easeconference
Funder and Grant identifiers are important because they enable the linking of articles to grants. This is a key trust signal. So funders, please, adopt grant DOIs and if you don't have a ROR, request one.

Editors have a key role in encouraging the adoption of PIDs for things like grants, funders, data, people. #easeconference
She continued: "Scientific uncertainty doesn't mean we are uncertain ourselves. We may be relatively certain about how uncertain science is."

If you want to look at the interactive infographic that @alicemeadows.bsky.social just showed at #easeconference @easeeditors.bsky.social , here it is:
80% of disinformation on social media is shared by 0.05% of users.

Malinformation is information based on fact that is intended to do harm. Phishing is an example of malinformation, as is mislabelling a photo with the wrong time, place, or subject to fuel a false narrative.

One reason it's so hard to fight disinformation is that experts don't agree on the definition -
