We apologise for delays in #PeerReview due to a shortage of editors caused by a significant leaf fall. Leaves, famously, are editors' kryptonite #OverlyHonestEditor In other words, the autumn is here.

Nearly missed that doozie but now that I saw it, I cannot stop shaking my head #AcademicSky #ResearchEthics Some people honestly don't know when to shut up #OverlyHonestEditor
Tweet from Jiankui He, geneticist known for creating the first genetically modified babies, without ethics approvals and to outrage of the scientific community, saying: "Ethics is holding back scientific innovation and progress".

How is your 2025 going? #OverlyHonestEditor #ScientificPublishing #AcademicSky #ResearchIntegrity #PeerReview
A meme with Ryan Reynolds looking cool as a cucumber with a flying crashing car behind him. Ryan is labelled: "all emails starting: Dear Editor Cat, happy new year...", the car crash is labelled: "2025 editing on January 2".

Here you go: post someone you've been told you look like, who you definitely don't look like.

Since we're sharing... Editor Cat-ozart finds this depressing, because that is only just about 2.5 hrs a day (massively down from 2022 and 2023) and essentially a sign of a number of meetings I'm in all the time :( #OverlyMusicDeprivedEditor #2024Wrapped
Screengrab from Spotify 2024 Wrapped which says: "You listened for 49,736 minutes this year. That puts you in the top 5% of listeners worldwide."

Reminds me of this:
Marketoonist.com cartoon. In the first panel, a person writing an email says to their colleague: "A.I. turns this single bullet point into a long email I can pretend I wrote." In the next panel, a different person reading an email says to their colleague: "A.I. makes a single bullet point out of this long email I can pretend I read."

Hey Duolingo, you little green trolling sh*t, I don't need that judgement and attitude first thing Saturday morning #OverlyGrumpyEditor
Screengrab from Duolingo which reads: "You made 0 mistakes. Unlike in real life."

Throwback to this mastodon classic:
A mastodon post from user Ciara, which reads: Every Mastodon explanation is like "It's very simple, your account is part of a kerflunk, and each kerflunk can talk to each other as part of a bumblurt. At the moment everyone you flurgle can see your bloops but only people IN your kerflunk can quark your nerps. Kinda like email.

Editor Cat-mondo finally read @emollick.bsky.social's "Co-Intelligence" and it's really good, for y'all fellow AI-skeptics #OverlyConvertedEditor As everyone, we test potential applications of AI in #ScientificPublishing workflows, but I've been struggling to make sense of performance... 1/
A book entitled "Co-Intelligence" by Ethan Mollick. Highly recommend (and no, it's not a paid promo)

If you see this, post a picture taken in the mountains.

Editor Cat-ski makes a point of not appearing in any photos.

To celebrate 10M users, here is a throwback to my first act of trollship on BSky. Shout out to @stephenbheard.bsky.social for being a great sport about it. #AcademicSky ##OverlyCheekyEditor
A bio for a joke account called Ozymandias Pumpernickel Flugenholtz, which reads simply "bullied by @stephenbheard.bsky.social". Disclaimer: no one was bullied.

Editor Cat-mondo is reading Hayao Miyazaki 1980s essays about animation and cannot get over how much this 👇 fits #ScientificPublishing #AcademicSky #OverlyHonestEditor
A para bemoaning influx of poor quality shows and pondering what's the point of making good ones, if it's like adding a bucket of water to a flood (but then realising that even during flood, people need drinking water).

If 2016 had the vibe of fin-de-siecle, 2024 has the je ne sais quoi of late 1930s. Utter confusion.

Quite an update to COPE guidance on how to deal with #ImageManipulation giving editors a way to fast track #retractions in the most egregious cases #ResearchIntegrity #ScientificPublishing #OverlyCautiousEditor
Beginning of the COPE flowchart for image manipulation cases showing a new step that allows editors to progress to retraction without going to the authors if manipulation is blatant and clearly affecting outcomes.
