Pressure From the Top
Pressure From the Top
The post here last week about faked papers prompts me to mention this recent publication (which I learned about in Nature): an anonymous survey from inside several Chinese universities. It's quite interesting from that standpoint, and it shows that the Chinese institutions and authorities are indeed becoming worried about the increasing flood of low- (or zero-) quality papers that come from all sorts of Chinese sources. As everyone would have figured, this is a consequence of pressure to Publish, Publish, Publish, and Publish Some More:

We Need Fewer Scientists And Fewer Science Journals
We Need Fewer Scientists And Fewer Science Journals
Academic journals and the researchers who publish in them are increasingly engaged in naked political advocacy rather than science. It's time we cut off public funding to peer-reviewed publications

Minding the Sciences Archives — Minding The Campus
Minding the Sciences Archives — Minding The Campus
Let’s face it: science has gone woke. What used to be an ideological virus afflicting the arts and humanities has now spread through the entire university, STEMM fields included. That’s why Minding the Campus is renewing our focus on the sciences through a new, ongoing article series called Minding the Sciences. Here, we’ll cover wokeism in STEMM, scientific integrity, research funding, climate science, scientific associations, and much more.

More details on an egregious failure of scientific publishing
In my view, and I’m not holding back here — We should not be in a situation where activist journalists, many funded by billionaires, enlist activists scientists to demand retraction of a scientific article and then the world’s arguably leading scientific publisher meekly obeys. We must do better.

In bed with the enemy: how to fix science
In bed with the enemy: how to fix science
The way we do science is broken: frequently inefficient, unreliable and even totally invalid, the road to consensus is fraught with hostility and academic pettiness. Cory Clark and Philip Tetlock argue for an alternative to the critique-reply-rejoinder format with the radical potential to transform the pursuit of knowledge.
