Major news: the highly corrupt
@elsevierconnect.bsky.social journal STOTEN finally lost its IF!! The journal was under the hands of the corrupt editor & #papermill #fraud Damia Barcelo. Will Elsevier finally retract all the shit it published?
Clarivate finally delisted this corrupt journal.

The last author of this paper, Mohammad Abdollahi
Tehran University of Medical Sciences, who has 13 (!!) retractions used to be a member of C0PE! Go figure. No wonder COPE has become a joke when it comes to ethics in publishing! Will @springernature.com act and do something about this insane paper?

Disgruntled authors,with at least 1 retraction, attacking pubpeer👇 Their statements are also wrong. How did @springernature.com let this pass as it is? Does the terminology ring a bell? @elisabethbik.bsky.social @smutclyde.bsky.social @deevybee.bsky.social

It happened again, @tkes.bsky.social strikes again! Another retraction for professional #papermill #fraud Victor Sunday Aigbodion. How long till he ends up in the @retractionwatch.com leaderboard?

Big news on #papermill #fraud Christian Sonne from @aarhusuniint.bsky.social! He got his second retraction. Despite C. Sonne being a total fraud his university supports him completely in his paper mill antics! Universities are the reason these frauds continue and start! Aarhus university loves fraud

Another retraction for Kuan Shiong Khoo, nr. 8!. He was a PhD student under the legendary #papermill #fraud Pau Loke Show (18 retractions already). Kuan Shiong Khoo continues his fraud at the uan Ze Univ in Taiwan. The @uniofnottingham.bsky.social doesn't care about the #fraud.

Adrian Covaci from. @uantwerpen.be turns @elsevierconnect.bsky.social journals into #papermill safe havens! He did it with STOTEN and now he does it with Environment International! Here he seems to have edited his own paper! A new low?
November 4, 2025 at 7:23 AM
Retraction nr 28 (!!!) for #papermill #fraud Hitler Louis! He has published nothing but paper mill crap! When oh when will publishers learn? Hitler Louis on his way to enter the

October 13, 2025 at 11:45 AM
Well well, @tkes.bsky.social did it again! #papermill idiot Victor Sunday Aigbodion from the University of Nigeria Nsukka got another retraction! This #fraud has published nothing but made up papers. Finally one publishers, @natureportfolio.nature.com, is catching and retracting.

Well, wiley is known to whitewash fraud at large scale, so no surprise here.
(3/x) Almost all papers were flagged by Mu Yang (@mumumouse2.bsky.social) and me this year. Multiple articles were reported to Wiley, 50+ are currently being investigated by Elsevier's ethics team. Wiley's team looked at the article in (1) and send me this email which left me very confused:

How many father-son duos are there that have retractions? Thomas Len, son of the infamous #papermill #fraud Christophe Len (big buddies with major fraud Rafael Luque) got his first retraction! His father, C. Len has already 2 retractions for his fraud.

Turns out that @mdpiopenaccess.bsky.social keeps whitewashing #fraud! Unbelievable. Could this be because Pau Loke Show his university is threatening with a lawsuit against @mdpiopenaccess.bsky.social ??

Trump trying to influence @wikipedia.org. No surprise there. If it doesn't fit his narrative he will attack it. Dictator you say? What has America become?

The proof that @relxhq.bsky.social
/ @elsevierconnect.bsky.social doesn't care about ethics. The EIC, Cecília Maria Almeida, was found guilty of manipulation, editing her own paper, in short #fraud. Her paper got retracted, yet a year later she is still EIC! Let this sink in!
