AND an improvement in integrity education, and the main one - a change in the incentive structure within academia. As long as we equate citations with “quality”, there will be publication manipulation. Here endeth the lesson.

@Spottingthespot @timeshighered @C0PE Anyone can ask COPE to assess whether a member journal acted appropriately, whereas if the journal is not a member, no-one can really hold it to account.

@Spottingthespot @timeshighered @C0PE Any journal can investigate and retract, COPE member or not. By being a COPE member the journal agrees to abide by the guidelines, and is hence held to a higher standard, benefiting from COPE resources, advice and any perceived quality/approval by association.

Citation manipulation = fraud; should be retracted! It's time publishers start to retract more. They need to stop avoiding it at all costs. Why is retracting not an option for citation manipulation?? Makes no sense. Especially in clear-cut cases. @timeshighered

I hope this doesn't come across as a whine, we have come SO FAR in the last couple of years, but there is still such a long way to go, and despite our best efforts, fraud (or at least attempted fraud) feels to be on the increase.

🚨Apparently all NIH Study Sections have been suspended indefinitely. For those who don’t know, this means there won’t be any review of grants submitted to NIH Depending on how long this goes on for, this could lead to an interruption in billions in research funding.

Opinion: Publishers need more help to combat malicious academic networks Better tech alignment, industry guidance and identity verification would all help – as would meaningful and visible punishments, says Kim Eggleton ow.ly/2xOO50UEoB1

@Nature No. The major weakness, in my view, is poor stewardship and oversight of reviewers’ comments and authors’ responses to them by many editors. Currently, editors exercise authority and exert influence without accountability. Improved selection and training of editors is required.

Peer review is known to be flawed. Now, one of its major weaknesses - sheer bad manners on the part of the reviewer - has been highlighted by a UK-based publisher go.nature.com/4ewsVp9

@Nature Isn’t it the editor’s job to read and edit the reviewer comments?

@EddieRawlings @Nature @skdh Not at all. But “this is rubbish” isn’t helping anyone. How could the author make it better? What’s been missed? Is there potential for it to be improved? If so, how? You can be critical without being rude.

@Nature @skdh What is it suggesting? That if we can't say something nice about a piece of research we shouldn't say anything at all?

Other things we've introduced include: - anonymous peer review - publication of reviews with the article - reviewer feedback programme - co-review - free, detailed reviewer training As Publishers and Editors we have a responsibility.

@clhubes My twins only napped in the pram or car - had to be moving. I’ve not had any more children (I’m too traumatised!) but see friends with babies that take giant naps and I can’t relate. I never got a thing done, and never rested. My friends are completing Netflix!

some compassion to peer review. The most helpful reviews are not those that say yes, but those that constructively engage with the work. We help reviewers make the right kind of impact on a paper, because behind every paper is a person nature.com/articles/d4158… #PeerReviewWeek 2/2

Sadly there are times when a reviewer report crosses my desk and I’m struck by the thoughtlessness of how things are phrased. We’ve all had negative feedback but there’s a way to position things without tearing someone down. I’m super proud of @IOPPublishing’s work to bring 1/2
