SpringerLinkScientometric indicators in research evaluation and research misconduct: analysis of the Russian university excellence initiative - ScientometricsThis study aimed to examine the impact of the Russian University Excellence Initiative (RUEI), also known as Project 5–100, on research misconduct in Russian higher education. Launched in 2013, the RUEI incentivized universities to increase the number of publications in internationally indexed journals. The analysis compares the prevalence of retracted publications—as a proxy for research misconduct—between universities that participated in the RUEI and a control group of universities that did not. A total of 2621 retracted papers affiliated with at least one Russian institution were identified. Of which 203 papers were indexed in Web of Science (WoS) and/or Scopus databases. The results showed that RUEI universities had a significantly higher number of retracted publications in WoS- and Scopus-indexed journals, suggesting that pressure to meet quantitative scientometric indicators may have encouraged unethical research practices and research misconduct. In addition, different reasons for retraction were found between publications indexed and not indexed in WoS and/or Scopus databases. These findings suggest that the direct and irresponsible use of scientometric indicators as performance measures may have unintended negative consequences that may undermine research integrity.

Retraction Watch retractions are now integrated into @crossref REST API! Extremely important data for monitoring #ResearchIntegrity

www.crossref.orgRetraction Watch retractions now in the Crossref API - CrossrefRetractions and corrections from Retraction Watch are now available in Crossref’s REST API. Back in September 2023, we announced the acquisition of the Retraction Watch database with an ongoing shared service. Since then, they have sent us regular updates, which are publicly available as a csv file. Our aim has always been to better integrate these retractions with our existing metadata, and today we’ve met that goal. This is the first time we have supplemented our metadata with a third-party data source.

The Times They Are a-Changin'...let's renew #introduction.

I am a French physics scholar involved in local & national academic politics.

After the bird death, I found a Fediverse home on fediscience.org, under the mammoth shadow: a friendly, open and inclusive one.

Despite the risks, I am open to a Bluesky bridge.

Toots in French & English in the following fields: #OpenScience, #OpenInfrastructure, #fairdata, #foss, #ResearchAssessment and #ResearchIntegrity.

My toots lifetime is six months.

Keynote announcement: Walking through a circle of reproducibility in historiography

In their keynote, Pim Huijnen and Pieter Huistra will talk about how historians can work more reproducibly. What is a replication in a field that values a diversity of interpretations and doesnt know a null hypothesis?

Should journal articles name the handling editor?

James Butcher argues: "We are now at a point where editors, at the very least, need to be named on published papers, especially on high volume journals ... We need editors to take public ownership of the papers that they accept for publication." ck.journalology.com/posts/jour
