Wissenschaft ist nicht unfehlbar. In der sehr guten @artede.bsky.social -Doku “Betrug in der Wissenschaft“ geht es u.a. auch um die Ombudsarbeit. Mit dabei: Prof. Eric Steinhauer und - in einem Rollenspiel - die Rechtsreferentin der Stabi Hamburg, Dr. Ina Kaulen: www.arte.tv/de/videos/12...

there is a significant number of scholars/scientists who (still) blog. A lot of early semantic web and #openscience discussions happened on this open "platform". Rogue Scholar (@rogue_scholar) is archiving new and old blogs, and just passed the 50 thousand blog posts. All citable by @crossref […]

A notable near-absence of ROR ID coverage across most agreements highlights gaps that undermine institutional attribution in research assessment and bibliometric analyses, while CC BY licence adoption is highest where agreements mandate it as the sole permissible licence.

I’ve officially resigned as Associate Editor for Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience. It used to be a reputable journal, but became a case study in how forced automation destroys academic integrity. 👇
