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...

I feel like it’s time to share this again. I haven’t had a thread on here that got this little traction. A bit better on LinkedIn. I actually doubt very few disagree, but assume they don’t want to show support (publicly). What are you all afraid of?

This week the #ScholCommLab has made its support for the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI) public. We do so in response to the genocide in Gaza and the deliberate destruction of its education system—what scholars now identify as scholasticide. [1/x]

Today, the #scholcommlab published a Statement of Support for PACBI Principles. With it, I reject my university's (SFU's) complicity in the ongoing genocide in Gaza, and call them out for restricting my ability to direct the work of @pkp.sfu.ca in a principled way. www.scholcommlab.ca/pacbi/

Dutch universities will need a year to properly evaluate their ties with IL institutions. After all, it is a complex situation that requires careful analysis. We wouldn't want to threaten academic freedom. Also, look at all the social impact of our projects, we're so good. 😬

The paper in Profesional de la Información raises further concerns: its DOI, apparently recently registered by the journal’s previous owner, not the current one, shows conflicting metadata in Crossref.

Scoping review of 660 articles finds research on research integrity now focuses more on systemic issues than on the previously dominant “bad apple” hypothesis.

Open Access: doi.org/10.1186/s410...
Abstract Background Research on research integrity (RI) has grown exponentially over the past several decades. Although the earliest publications emerged in the 1980 s, more than half of the existing literature has been produced within the last five years. Given that the most recent comprehensive literature review is now eight years old, the present study aims to extend and update previous findings. Method We conducted a systematic search of the Web of Science and Constellate databases for articles published between 2015 and 2023. To structure our overview and guide our inquiry, we addressed the following seven broad questions about the field:-What topics does the empirical literature on RI explore? What are the primary objectives of the empirical literature on RI? What methodologies are prevalent in the empirical literature on RI? What populations or organizations are studied in the empirical literature on RI? Where are the empirical studies on RI conducted? Where is the empirical literature on RI published? To what degree is the general literature on RI grounded in empirical research? Additionally, we used the previous scoping review as a benchmark to identify emerging trends and shifts. Results Our search yielded a total of 3,282 studies, of which 660 articles met our inclusion criteria. All research questions were comprehensively addressed. Notably, we observed a significant shift in methodologies: the reliance on interviews and surveys decreased from 51 to 30%, whereas the application of meta-scientific methods increased from 17 to 31%. In terms of theoretical orientation, the previously dominant “Bad Apple” hypothesis declined from 54 to 30%, while the “Wicked System” hypothesis increased from 46 to 52%. Furthermore, there has been a pronounced trend toward testing solutions, rising from 31 to 56% at the expense of merely describing the problem, which fell from 69 to 44%. Conclusion Three gaps highlighted eight years ago by the previous scoping revie…

Universities in Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union thought that complying with authoritarian demands would protect their independence. It didn’t—and history is warning us again.

Before the Nazis, German universities were among the best in the world. Step by step, the universities gave up their independence until they were instruments of the state.
