@fake_journals I think this is a really good comment, thank you for writing this. Some of those anonymous accounts are really aggressive, mocking persons directly and are too quick to judge. Not following those ones, they dont help on this bigger cause.

. If you are anonymous, consider revealing who is behind your account. Since 2018, I’ve been raising awareness about predatory and unethical publishing practices. For six years, I remained under the radar, but in 2024, I decided to go public and reveal my identity. In many ways, I wish I’d done this sooner, but my decision was informed by the challenges faced by others, such as those chronicled by Beall. Since going public, I have not faced any real aggression and I receive many messages of support, for which I thank you. While there are many anonymous accounts voicing concerns, I’ve noticed a disturbing trend: some of these accounts, though anonymous, adopt aggressive stances towards others, without disclosing who they are or who is backing them. I respect anonymity, but I believe that when an account is hostile or confrontational, there is a responsibility to at least be transparent about one’s identity and affiliations. If nothing else, so that others can make a judgement, not just those who are being highlighted, whether the comments are warranted. Importantly, it would also remove a large amount of the discussion about who is behind these accounts, which often dominates the discussion, at the detriment of the real issues being discussed. I do not (try not to) engage in aggression or personal attacks. My goal is always to foster open, honest discussions about the integrity of research and publishing. It’s important to remember that our efforts should be constructive, not divisive, if we are truly committed to making positive changes in academic publishing. If you operate an anonymous account, it is, of course, your prerogative to remain anonymous but I would encourage you to “go public”. Speaking from personal experience, people tend to take you more seriously if they know who they are talking to. If you remain behind that cloak of secrecy others will always wonder what you have to hide.

Very happy to meet @smnyla at @ICSEconf 2026, after great interactions for @ICSOBconf and now for @sesos2025 and @iwsib #humanaspects #SoftwareEngineering ☺️🚀

In this event I did not felt like I was the only woman in the room ❤️ WomenCafe at #ICSE2025 with ACM-W ACMs Women in Computing was full of discussion and advices how to get support and be stronger together 💪Thank you for everyone coming! @OfficialACMW @ICSEconf

@softwaronnie Yeaaaah, this is it… I’m not a perfect reviewer myself ether but stillllllllll :D

After having my grounded theory papers rejected—surprise, surprise—due to 'lack of' statistical generalization (addressed in the threats to validity section along with data saturation and transferability), I thought, why not share a few more insightful comments I've got?

@softwaronnie @ICSEconf Topic I love! Waiting to read the paper 💪🏻

Of course, we wouldn't miss the chance to discuss EDI in education during @ICSEconf! So, we are also happy to share that our paper has been accepted to the IEEE Conference on Software Engineering Education and Training.

@softwaronnie @ICSEconf Trolololol. Really, sounds too familiar.. But yeah! Super happy, like can’t even describe how happy I am!

@smnyla @ICSEconf Maybe I did, because it was a grounded theory paper. Anyway, the one we wrote together got a BIG acceptance, and I’m so happy! 😀😀

I woke up to reviewers asking about statistical generalization ... in our QUALITATIVE research or, more importantly, discussing how my abstract is too long. But hey, 2 out of 5 papers were accepted at @ICSEconf-SEIS, so I am celebrating with my amazing collaborators! Cheers!

Hello, @ICSEconf community! As part of our #EDI2025 initiatives, we’re seeking a passionate co-chair for DisabiliTEA@ICSE, a coffee-break networking event bringing together people with disabilities. Interested? Please reach out to me. ☕️

@softwaronnie @ICSEconf Great job and especially congrats for Matheus and Lucas (:!

Here is some great news to kick off the week! Both of our papers have been accepted at @ICSEconf - WSESE! Shoutout to my two new Master's students, Matheus and Lucas, who joined the SE-ALL lab just three months ago and are already making incredible contributions! 🚀

@JannedTikkanen @TUKLLU Ihana kuva, kimppu ja tuhannesti onnea!

We're running a study on how certain personality traits and cognitive abilities impact performance in typical "coding interview" tasks. Personality tests get more and more common in recruiting processes, so this study might be interesting if you are applying for jobs soon!

We heard you! A couple of extra days would be good to work on your submission, right? Well, you got it! The Fairness deadline has been extended until December 4th. That’s right! Almost a full extra week to finish writing your registered paper or even register a new one. Join us!
