Truly grateful by the interest our presentation on stealth journal takeovers generated at the STI in Bristol last week. Thanks to everyone who approached me to discuss it during the conference! @stienid2025.bsky.social read the whole story at zenodo.org/records/1476... and zenodo.org/records/1521...

First conference in my PhD life was @stienid2025.bsky.social ! With my supervisors, @willemhalffman.bsky.social and Serge, we looked at the behaviour of journal peer reviewers under the practice of open science. #STIENID2025

ISiS Radboud @isis-radboud.bsky.social · Sep 8

@chinghank.bsky.social, @willemhalffman.bsky.social and Serge Horbach at #STIENID2025 in Bristol. They presented work on the DISAPEER project, perspectives on the research literature as infrastructure, and the tensions between standardisation and disciplinary diversity in research policy.

The panel was fun, the audience seemed to like it and I got to say some controversial things about peer review as the last word 😂

"Peer review is built, fundamentally, on trust and routine. As an institution, peer review calls into being a horizontal community of inquiry. The system is flawed in too many ways to list, and subject to all kinds of abuse, but — ideally — it’s quite astonishing."

Peer Review Paranoia

The system is built on trust between scholars. AI is undermining that.

Really enjoying this case study about Mauritius - I often talk about how our current scholarly communications landscape doesn't support vital local research. This is a great example showing that.

Can LLMs identify a fake article about squirrels doing surgery and writing articles about it?

Not most of them, although GPT o3 says its satirical. Most still assesses it as if it's a real article.

Gemini gave it 3* and said it had also been studied in Maths.

Not good enough for individual judgement. Don't use for peer review!

You can use it alongside your own judgement for large assessment exercises.

Pretty fancy venue #STIENID2025

A procenium arch style lecture theatre with lots of wood paneling. The arch is made of light coloured stone blocks.

Keynote at #STIENID2025 about to start.

Prof Keri Facer talking about Measuring what Matters, and particularly about anticipating rather than sitting back and measuring after the fact.

Black elephant problem - a big thing that's new and different that no-one wants to talk and think about it.

Too difficult to think about things that are completely different.

What are we ignoring?

I've ended up in a theory heavy session at #STIENID2025 - I have no formal background in sociology and I'm already feeling lost!

I always end up in the wrong session in a multitasking event...

First paper is form the #MetricsLiteracy project. They tested the use of videos to educate on the h-index. You can see one here:
