That those papers have no review is generally a myth, esp. in journals with internal oversight. Would be curious to know which one rubbed you the wrong way, though #OverlyCuriousEditor
Editor Cat-mondo has been reading about the unearthed report from IHU investigation and pondering what it means for oh-so-many people and papers #OverlyCuriousEditor #ScientificPublishing #ResearchIntegrity #ResearchEthics 1/

Please can someone tell me what are the chimneys and gas tanks on the roof of the new LMB building in Cambridge, UK? #OverlyCuriousEditor #AcademicSky
Are you planning to unseat Lowry as the most cited paper ever? #OverlyCuriousEditor
Curious to see uptake from authors.
Is a bit like the idea of red teams in science (h/t @lakens.bsky.social ), but at a worse timepoint. But you gotta start somewhere! #OverlyCuriousEditor #AcademicSky #ScientificPublishing
Wait, who did you provoke this time round? #OverlyCuriousEditor
Cat would love to see that analysis though #OverlyCuriousEditor
But also: for every symptom of a papermill paper, there is at least one, if not more, legitimate reason why this symptom could occur. Which is why we don't call out papermills in retractions: it is actually very hard to prove... 1/
I hear editing research papers is really good for your health, is that true? #OverlyCuriousEditor
A hypothetical question, with I suspect no easy answer: if a journal shuts down, who is responsible for correction of errors uncovered after it shut down, and how does it happen (I mean, mechanistically)? #OverlyCuriousEditor
If I accidentally found myself in the vicinity of #EASP2023, can someone sneak me in for a lecture or two? #OverlyCuriousEditor
A study on 145 scholarly journals finds the is less gender bias in review than we thought. Interesting, esp. it echoes recent results of double anonymous pilot in one ecology journal, which found something quite similar #OverlyCuriousEditor ...
So I would be interested to know - given how many people have tried this already - whether the other side of a twin pair always report the same twin back (as you would expect from, you know, twins) #OverlyCuriousEditor I also found that there is another tool from it seems... 1/
And so cat can't help but ponder: what is the actual point? #OverlyCuriousEditor Beall's list felt a massive overstated dead-end, and you'd have to be either blind not to see it, or purposely feigning ignorance. And I just can't figure out which one is it. 7/7
Cat is wondering what was the longest #ScientificDebate conducted via a scholarly #journal, thru letters to editor or a similar mechanism.
Any ideas? #OverlyCuriousEditor
And what would be your testimonials? Please share! #OverlyCuriousEditor 10/10
Has anyone done "we're cancelling each other's publishing takes today" yet? That one would be a doozie #OverlyCuriousEditor
Interesting case from the latest @C0PE forum, which sounds awfully like Eysenck until you get to the resolution (which is that nobody so far did anything): #OverlyCuriousEditor publicationethics.org/case/appropriate-scope-r...
That has to happen, no?
Tell me you're an editor without telling me you're an editor.

Is metascience the science of science or the science of research? #AskingForAFriend #OverlyCuriousEditor
What's up with institutions asking for certificates confirming publication? Is like someone doesn't know how to use internet. I want to believe there is some rationale, and would love to hear what it is #OverlyCuriousEditor
I would love for someone to test the differences in risk aversion between professional and academic editors #OverlyCuriousEditor
Gilead says manuscript in review. Since most publishers require preprinting & code and data release as part of PHEIC response, why is this one not out, @GileadSciences? What are you hiding? And what is the journal hiding? #OverlyCuriousEditor...
So is Pottery Barn rule really so new @chrisdc77? I always assumed this is a thing that exists (just incredibly poorly implemented)... #OverlyCuriousEditor Btw, finished the book: I hope next edition comes with new examples (e.g. Wansink for HARKing).
Make of this what you want: second big CEO departure this month... #OverlyCuriousEditor scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2019/09/23/annette-thoma... via @rschon
Let's fight one bad metric with another only mildly less bad? #OverlyCuriousEditor Also, based on Scopus data. What could go wrong? journals.plos.org/plosbiology/article
Has ganging up on an editor on Twitter ever helped solve anything? I mean in the absence of any other attempts at interaction with the journal... #OverlyCuriousEditor
Don't quite understand where the idea that choosy journals are reputable comes from #overlycuriouseditor www.sciencemag.org/news/2018/09/open-access...
A bit sad to not have heard any news from @NatureTractors for a while. Is it harvest season or something? #overlycuriouseditor
So, if the point of alternative metrics is alternative engagement measurement, how useful is it that @PlumAnalytics is better at collecting @mendeley_com usage? #overlycuriouseditor link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11192-0...
