Some #Elsevier #journals may not be putting much effort into choosing #qualified #experts as #peer #reviewers. Some of them asked Ivan Oransky, MD, of the blog #RetractionWatch to review four different COVID-19 papers. Here’s what Oransky says: retractionwatch.com/2021/03/09/e...

@retractionwatch.com.web.brid.gy Hi, I had a look through the retractionwatch database and am left to wonder why there isn't a single paper in there that has been written by the anti-transgender hatecult. I can easily name about a bozen high profile papers that are used to set policies

When we asked them about it, they removed it.

The title of the retractionwatch post is very confusing. A comma would help

“The truth, however, is that the number of retractions in 2022 – 5,500 – is almost definitely a vast undercount of how much misconduct and fraud exists. We estimate that at least 100,000 retractions should occur every year” @RetractionWatch...

True. The bar is really really low.

From Jeffrey Epstein’s father in law setting up the modern academic publishing industry to the announcements from RetractionWatch, Science (tm) is filled with gaming, self-interest and all out corruption.

I follow @RetractionWatch to keep up with outrageous events in #scholarly #publishing. This particular post explains how #hijacked #journals keep fooling @Scopus, a leading #database for scholarly literature: http://bit.ly/2SyHAv2 .

@PLOS, any update on the page proofs issue? Authors deserve better!
