Widespread signs of paper milling discovered in materials science and engineering papers | News | Chemistry World chemistryworld.com/news/widesprea…

"It appears the term ‘paper mill’ may fail to fully capture the diversity and scale of activities overseen by these hydra-like conglomerates." Important and, frankly, scary post by Reese Richardson et al. from Amaral Lab retractionwatch.com/2024/10/01/hid…

Y'day I said that 'Cureus ‘academic channels’ appear purpose-built to be abused by papermills'. Today, Reese Richardson and Amaral Lab report that a papermill published 131 papers in its own Cureus channel from Feb 23 to Sep 24. retractionwatch.com/2024/09/30/web… retractionwatch.com/2024/10/01/hid…

In this piece, our own Reese Richardson, spencer hong (he/his) and end colonialism and exploitation✊🏽✊🏿✊🏾🌈 construct an ego network around one shady business and uncover a massive hydra. Check it out at the link below!

Congratulations to Reese Richardson on his successful PhD defense. For a youngster 😛 he’s already had a huge impact on research integrity. 🥂 reeserichardson.blog/2024/10/15/the…

Our own Reese Richardson just defended his PhD thesis and received his program's Outstanding Dissertation award! Way to go, Dr. Richardson! 🎊 Thanks to the big event, we finally have an updated lab photo! Some people could not make it and were scaled up by 1000% as penance. 😊

Scientists Develop Approach to Accurately Predict Pneumonia Outcomes - Machine-learning approach using health records identifies five pneumonia ‘states’ with predictable prognoses. news.feinberg.northwestern.edu/2024/11/06/sci…

Often find myself thinking of this great paper by Amaral Lab back in 2018 on why most of the genome is ignored journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar… And came across this gem from last year on 'unknowmics' by Sean Munro MRC-LMB Cell Biology x.com/MRC_LMB/status…

"Science Magazine and Retraction Watch’s investigation suggests authors, journals, and institutions all benefit from the scheme, which floods the literature with poor-quality publications and casts doubt on metrics of scholarly output and impact." science.org/content/articl…

Congrats spencer hong (he/his) on a great thesis seminar!
