After the coffee, I will attend one of the parallel sessions: Charleston Trendspotting: Forecasting the Future of Trust and Transparency.
With Leah Hinds @chsconf and @lisalibrarian and a "Future's Wheel"
#SSP2023
(I am a bit nervous about what a Futures Wheel is and the pieces of paper and markers on some of the tables - if this is too interactive or too buzzwordy, I might run to the nearest #introvert corner).
#SSP2023
Futures Wheel: there is an event/trend in the middle, some direct effects around it, secondary effects a bit further out, etc. Effects can be positive/negative. The further out, the harder it is to predict them. Effects can occur multiple times.

OK, this session suddenly became a group activity, so I ran out of the room - and so did 5 other people.
I find giving a talk to a room of 450 people (as I did yesterday) much easier than to suddenly have to discuss and create a piece of art together with 5 strangers 😱

Research Integrity: Stories of learning from overcoming mass retractions, systematic manipulation and research misconduct.
Hannah Smith @WileyGlobal
Yael Fitzpatrick @GazelleInDminor @PNASNews
Luigi Longobardi @LuigiLon @IEEEorg
Mike Streeter @WileyGlobal Image
The panelists all introduce themselves - they now work in research integrity at a publisher, but started in very different careers. It is a relatively new type of career, and often started with a volunteer role in ethics.
#SSP2023
Each panelist will talk about their current job and how they deal with certain cases.
YF: The right thing to do is not always the easiest or most pleasant thing to do. Our journal suspected misconduct and rejected a manuscript, and we reported it to the institution.

Here is an example of a paper with some very serious problems, where it appears the journal @CellStemCell took a very long time to retract: more than 7 years.
HT: @SmutClyde

Issues with figures from this and three other papers from the same first author have been reported on @PubPeer in November 2015.
pubpeer.com/publications/A…
and e.g.: pubpeer.com/publications/3… Image
The retraction notice states that 'The Regenerative Research Foundation conducted an investigation following its policies and the NIH Office of Research Integrity guidelines and determined that there had been image manipulation in these figures'.

Good morning from Portland, OR, from the #SSP2023 @ScholarlyPub, where I will attend the plenary session "The Evolving Knowledge Ecosystem" about the economic pressures and the greatest challenges shaping the scholarly publishing industry.
This will be a panel discussion, with @rschon @IthakaSR, @amy_brand @mitpress, Gregg Gordon @SSRN, Julia Kostova @FrontiersIn, and @DrNandiQ @Clarivate
#SSP2023 Image
Roger Schonfeld @rschon will be moderating this panel, and opens the discussion with asking what the purpose of scholarly publishing is or should be.
@amy_brand : we not only deliver research contents but we are really integral to the academic ecosystem.

French medical bodies on Sunday called on authorities to punish researcher Didier Raoult for "the largest 'unauthorised' clinical trial ever seen" into the use of hydroxychloroquine to treat Covid-19 france24.com/en/europe/2023…
You can find the preprint here: medrxiv.org/content/10.110…
I started a @PubPeer comment thread here:
pubpeer.com/publications/4…
and I invite everyone to join the discussion there.
The tweet at the start of this thread has resulted in a lot of discussion and critique, so if you have something valid to say, I encourage you to comment on the preprint on @PubPeer:

One of these papers is from the Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine and @UnivOfKansas.
Together with earlier retractions from this group of authors, it raises severe concerns about this @NIEHS and Natural Science Foundation of Guangdong Province-sponsored research.
As pointed out by @bsPyt7dmnBKaebN, this 2020 paper shares several figures with a 2014 and a 2020 paper from two different group of researchers.
Here are Figures 1, 2, 3, and 4 from the three papers compared. Blots and plots look identical.

Several other figures appear to have been copied from two other papers, again from different researchers.
There appears to be almost no original data in this paper. ImageImage

Stanford president dodges research misconduct questions
Amid Tessier-Lavigne’s defense, unanswered questions and contradictory statements
@tab_delete writes @StanfordDaily
'He has canceled public appearances, demanded retraction of The Daily’s reporting through his lawyers, deactivated the website for his public office hours and declined to respond to dozens of inquiries.'
'When he has commented on the allegations surrounding his work, Tessier-Lavigne has routinely provided accounts that contradict publicly available information.'
Great investigation by Polk-award-winner @tab_delete
