#Elsevier, the publisher of @TheLancet @CELL and many more journals, continues to subsidise climate breakdown through data services, exhibition hosting and political lobbying supporting coal, oil, and gas exploration and extraction. A thread 1/n 🧵 
Elsevier provides the oil and gas industry with information about potential exploration areas, techniques, and new technologies needed for fossil fuel development in new areas such as Arctic and tar sands environments.

Some of Elsevier’s latest book titles informing and promoting oil and gas exploration include Seismic Imaging Methods and Applications for Oil and Gas Exploration; Elements of Petroleum Geology; Reservoir Characterization of Tight Gas Sandstone, and elsevier.com/books/gas-inje… 3/n
As Paul Abrahams is tweeting in his capacity as "Chief Communications Officer at RELX", let's fact-check his three statements here, one by one, as an example of just how trustworthy such public statements from RELX / #Elsevier can be (1/9):
1. "Elsevier provides above-average quality".
Let's pretend, for now, RELX were not chiefly a surveillance platform and data broker enabling ICE mass deportations (some quality!), but instead an academic publisher with above average overall impact factor. (2/9)

In that case, given the negative relation between impact factor and quality, Paul's company actually provides *below average* quality:

Which makes him 0/3 in correct statements so far.

In this edition of #scifraud: Ronald Kostoff, an octogenarian generalist w/ a 1000-meter stare, has a fraudulent article in the latest _Toxicology Reports_ claiming Covid vaccines kill 5x more people than they save.
How could @ElsevierConnect publish such deadly nonsense? /1

@ElsevierConnect Here's the article, full of scare quotes, conspiracy buzzwords, and bad data.

How did this pass peer review? Journal editor @aristsatsakis surely knows better. But this fraud is already the most-talked about article Toxicol.Rep. has published all year. /2

Encouraging volume over quality is one culprit.
Toxicol. Rep. launched as an #Elsevier journal in 2014, and has no fewer than thirty-one Associate Editors.
One of them (Daniela Calina), and editor in chief Tsatsakis, CO-AUTHORED this bizarre & deceptive article. /3

It went viral on @Twitter
This caught eye of the big company who then proceeded to email me directly regarding my study, asking for proof. I said all my data was in the paper (samples sourced samples frm Amazon from an 'associate seller' 4 analysis)

They sent a direct letter (written by a prominent professor at Univ of Guelph, Canada / who works with the company) to the publisher #elsevier outlining 'problems' with my study, asking 4 'retraction'. The publisher suggested we provide a rebuttal - which we did, 24 page long.
