arXiv’s computer science category is closing the door on unvetted review and position papers.
The reason? A flood of low-quality, often AI-generated submissions.

Chales, qué onda con la fundación politécnico. Ojalá la Queen Mary reevalúe la colaboración. Las universidades anfitrionas deben de contar con mecanismos para proteger a estudiantes de la mayoría global. #ResearchIntegrity #AcademicSky
🔴#HoyEnAnimal | El sueño de Ángel de estudiar un doctorado en Londres está en riesgo tras denunciar acoso académico de su asesor.
Obtuvo una beca para la Queen Mary University, pero al alzar la voz terminó enfrentando también violencia institucional.

IT'S HAPPENING! 💥 I'm psyched to launch the collaboration between @qedscience.bsky.social & @openrxiv.bsky.social @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social! Preprint + q.e.d = your science is out there, and anyone can appreciate it. Let's care about making discoveries, and not on “getting published” (1/3) 👇

PhD Data Misuse Sparks Retractions, Ethics Probe, and Lab Fallout
A research misconduct case at the University of Melbourne exposed unethical authorship, led to retractions, and cost a PhD student his scholarship and a job offer.

Not comfortable with #OAI14 research focusing solely on Chinese researchers as examples of #ResearchSecurity #ResearchIntegrity issues. if we are going to just focus on China, we need to speak to context of WHY this is happening. Many of these students do not have any choice when working overseas.

Researchers who have lab access also have computer/network access = access to all colleagues' work. Some take that work and publish locally, representing others' work as their own.

Ok, if citation impact is meant to be just citations, I vote for Vickers 2017 for huge citation/minimal actual impact #ScientificPublishing #ResearchIntegrity I'm sure it's a nice paper, but cure cancer it will not.
Youyou Tu's work on anti-malarial compounds that saved millions of lives (w/Nobel+Lasker recognition) wins the low citation/huge impact cell. The original paper has 87 citations as of today: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11721477/ Hopefully she can get to 100.
What for huge citations and moderate impact?
