Did you know that 2025 Nature papers are not as hot as 2025 papers in... Separation and Purification Technology?
Congratulations, @ElsevierConnect - shameless fraud pays off!

3) IMPROVED core dataset, in a NEW GREAT FORMAT, with NEW FIELDS and MORE ENTRIES, to water down what really matters and say good luck to those who try to download and index it on their own.
4) Biggest payers become "STAKEHOLDERS" and assume control.
Welcome new Scopus.

Hey scum, do you have anything on the table except fraud and wordwooze?
Jaffar Abbas, of all people on the Earth, rofl.
Every @UN structure is a corrupt, incompetent, expensive shitshow.
@maoviedogarcia will have a laugh, too.

⚖️ On World Day of Social Justice, we’re reminded that climate justice is about fairness in action. A just future needs transformative policies & fair access to finance and technologies for communities facing climate inequalities. 🎥 Watch our #ScienceTalks with Jaffar Abbas.

@Spottingthespot @MicrobiomDigest @RMisconductW @gcabanac @Thatsregrettab1 I'll write an email. But for several years already, public attention is way, way more efficient.

@wool_yeah @MicrobiomDigest @RMisconductW @gcabanac @Thatsregrettab1 Did you report it to the publisher already?

Not enough manpower to globalize the intifada, so let's welcome more frauds? Right, @Columbia? Right?
Spotting@Spottingthespot
The #papermill #fraud Oday A. Al-Owaedi (@al_owaedi) got fired by his university in Iraq for his fraud yet it seems that @Columbia hired him?? For real??? retractionwatch.com/2025/09/19/exc…

@Spottingthespot @brianmlucey @tcddublin @TCDBusiness @LarisaYarovaya @unisouthampton @LuissBusiness @uakron @ElsevierConnect @chrisbrunet Being a convenient tool for climate change deniers without protesting it - I'd say this still counts.
There indeed might be more primitive reasons - up to plain disputes over funding. My best bet is consider the entire community of "economists" a snake pit.
English
@wool_yeah @brianmlucey @tcddublin @TCDBusiness @LarisaYarovaya @unisouthampton @LuissBusiness @uakron @ElsevierConnect @chrisbrunet I don't think this is a reason to go after Lucey. Furthermore, Tol isn't a climate change denier.
English
The #fraud involving #corrupt editors around @brianmlucey (@tcddublin; @TCDBusiness); @LarisaYarovaya (@unisouthampton), Samuel A. Vigne (@LuissBusiness) & John Goodell (@uakron) is crumbling: also Goodell has been fired by @ElsevierConnect👇@chrisbrunet chrisbrunet.com/p/third-editor…
Spotting@Spottingthespot
11 papers (4 shown here) in @brianmlucey (@TCDBusiness) his special issue from the @ElsevierConnect journal Energy Economics seem to have a conflict of interest. Did B. Lucey really edit 11 papers for his coauthors? @RichardTol sciencedirect.com/special-issue/…

@Spottingthespot @brianmlucey @tcddublin @TCDBusiness @LarisaYarovaya @unisouthampton @LuissBusiness @uakron @ElsevierConnect @chrisbrunet Heck. Some think this guy has an agenda.

@wool_yeah @brianmlucey @tcddublin @TCDBusiness @LarisaYarovaya @unisouthampton @LuissBusiness @uakron @ElsevierConnect @chrisbrunet Yeah but I didn't realize it's someone else his twitter. But yes, that name indeed
English
@Spottingthespot @brianmlucey @tcddublin @TCDBusiness @LarisaYarovaya @unisouthampton @LuissBusiness @uakron @ElsevierConnect @chrisbrunet > a professor you might know
The one tagged in the post you cited at the beginning of this thread?
English
@wool_yeah @brianmlucey @tcddublin @TCDBusiness @LarisaYarovaya @unisouthampton @LuissBusiness @uakron @ElsevierConnect @chrisbrunet You mean the list of people exposing him? Well I can tell I was involved, a professor you might know and another scholar (who is now already in deep shit as his country does not like whistleblowers). But none are linked to far right crap.
English
@Spottingthespot @brianmlucey @tcddublin @TCDBusiness @LarisaYarovaya @unisouthampton @LuissBusiness @uakron @ElsevierConnect @chrisbrunet > There are others that played a major role in exposing him.
I'd be excited to have a look at the list, even if partial. Might be fun.
English
@wool_yeah @brianmlucey @tcddublin @TCDBusiness @LarisaYarovaya @unisouthampton @LuissBusiness @uakron @ElsevierConnect @chrisbrunet Well, I am not sure this is 'all' that's behind it. The Lucey fraud was about to burst anyway. There are others that played a major role in exposing him. Maybe the far right folks just jumped on the wagon now? But one thing is true for sure, Lucey is a real dumb idiot.
English
@Spottingthespot @brianmlucey @tcddublin @TCDBusiness @LarisaYarovaya @unisouthampton @LuissBusiness @uakron @ElsevierConnect @chrisbrunet Lucey is a stereotypical soft target for these, um, far-right folks. "Green," "pro-Ukraine," etc., etc., but somewhat... stupid.
This is how you drive forward your MAGA cause. Pick a straw man, beat a straw man.
English
@wool_yeah @brianmlucey @tcddublin @TCDBusiness @LarisaYarovaya @unisouthampton @LuissBusiness @uakron @ElsevierConnect @chrisbrunet Interesting read. You think they have something to do with Lucey etc? (I know Brunet wrote about it, but the names you mentioned?). Weird stuff. But good Elsevier is finally cleaning out the stable in their economics/finance field.
English
@Spottingthespot @brianmlucey @tcddublin @TCDBusiness @LarisaYarovaya @unisouthampton @LuissBusiness @uakron @ElsevierConnect @chrisbrunet Here you go.

Alas, we've arrived at a point where shit is the most efficient remedy against crap.
English
@wool_yeah @brianmlucey @tcddublin @TCDBusiness @LarisaYarovaya @unisouthampton @LuissBusiness @uakron @ElsevierConnect @chrisbrunet Don't really know Kirkegaard or Piffer. All I know is that Lucey, Goodell, Vigne and the rest of their network are frauds. It's about time they get severed 'justice'. They have bamboozled us for long enough with their crap.
English
Well, there you go. Another bottom of the barrel scam, as if we haven't seen enough.
The domain e-pubmed.co.uk mimics PubMed, aka pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov. And the DOI is from @ZENODO_ORG, more-or-less a free repository.
I won't be surprised if OMICS is at it again.
Eric Topol@EricTopol
This is a FRAUDULENT paper, AI-generated. My name was used as an author and I had nothing to do with it, never saw it until today e-pubmed.co.uk/journals/digit… The "Editors" Angelo Rossi Mori, David Mensah, and Zarnie Khadjesari should be reported.
English
@dison_franco @SpringerNature Short answer: yes.
A longer one: just have one look at his collaboration network.
English
@wool_yeah @SpringerNature I was not aware of him; is he known as a paper mill?
English
Freshly published.
@SpringerNature asks the readers EUR 39.95 for these butt-level hallucinations. Go use scanning electronic microscopy to measure biodiesel yield, haha.

@dison_franco @SpringerNature This is not research, to begin with, not even close. Hussein Togun is a dead giveaway that none of these "experiments" has ever taken place in reality.
English
@wool_yeah @SpringerNature No big news I guess, people have already done this shit even before AI. In my field, the common error is assuming that one model can say the physical/chemical nature of the system without considering the composition of the materials. This is lazy research!
English
Contributing to the academic job market stress is that @uiowa and the likes fill up postdoc positions with 40+ yo frauds (BSc from 2006).
