“6% of sleuths agreed that current reporting channels for misconduct are effective, compared to 77% of research-integrity officers”
I think this is readily explainable by the differential access to information. RIOs do not see what doesn’t even reach them, eg when editors refuse to act.

As a woman and academic, on International Women's Day, I am thinking of all the women who are suffering from or survived bullying and harassment. Let's keep fighting so that academia becomes a place of safety, growth, creativity, honesty, and tolerance—inspiring for others to follow and model.

3 years after @vtraag.bsky.social suggested it to me, I am finally managing to sneak his paper on Inferring the causal effect of journals on citations (doi.org/10.1162/qss_...) in one of my lectures (on science of science). Cool read!
Inferring the causal effect of journals on citations

Great findings!
Lots of research shows maternity leaves lead to higher breastfeeding rates, but this is the first study I've seen on *paternity* leave & BF.
31% ⬆️ breastfeeding at 2 months for families where fathers took >2 weeks leave.
New parents need time off!
