What is a "calculation chain" file? How can I easily identify duplicated values in a table?

🤯 Tortured phrases in ‘ACM Computing Surveys’ a top journal in my field (JIF 28 and SJR Q1, FWIW). @acm.org tell us it's a bug in the editorial system. Did any of the reviewers recommended acceptance? Please make their reports public with the upcoming retraction notice. pubpeer.com/publications...

#ISHPSSB is over. I presented my preliminary work on hype, distortion and reproducibility in #microbiome science. This work would never have been possible without my collaboration with scientists from various labs and my participation in the @nanobubbles.bsky.social project on science correction.

Exclusive: A major scientific publisher, Taylor & Francis, said it has paused submissions to its journal Bioengineered so editors there can investigate some 1000 of its papers that bear signs they contain manipulated results or came from paper mills. scim.ag/4kjR4la
Journal plagued with problematic papers, likely from paper mills, pauses submissions
The halt will let Taylor & Francis focus on checking Bioengineered’s papers for fraudulent works and paid authorships

"Data leakage" occurs when a statistical or machine learning model has access to data it shouldn't during the training process. This can lead to severe overestimation of a model's predictive performance.

Data leakage is the subject of COSIG's 30th guide! Read here: osf.io/d8mzb

In 2024, a surgical journal published a case study set on Saturn. This thought experiment sparked debate among science sleuths: What counts as a legitimate correction to the scientific record?

What fuels metascience?

STS-scholar @penders.bsky.social explores how the movement is shaped by Wissenschaftschmerz - a nostalgia for lost modernist ideals - as well as the hope to ‘rebuild’ science

“Peer reviews cause unnecessary delays to breakthroughs.” This idea led to some research being available pre-review during the COVID pandemic. But new perspectives suggest preprinting is a bad idea: journal.trialanderror.org/pub/preprint...

A very important initiative. it's useful for all scientists to be aware of what kind mistakes and fraud can be found in scientific papers when one reads them, cites or peer reviews.

Anyone can do post-publication peer review.
Anyone can be a steward of the scientific literature.
Anyone can do forensic metascience.
Anyone can sleuth.

That's why we are launching COSIG: the Collection of Open Science Integrity Guides, an open source resource for all of the above.
