“#Trump has been #dancing as fast as he can for #decades trying to stay one step ahead of #bankruptcy and the #law and he has been successful at doing it, apparently leading him to truly believe that he could always prevail by sheer force of #will. When the #2020election didn’t go his way, his #fragilepsyche couldn’t take it and he simply #created an alternate #reality in order to #cope.”
The publishing sector has a problem. Scientists are overwhelmed, editors are overworked, special issue invitations are constant, research paper mills, article retractions, journal delistings… JUST WHAT IS GOING ON!?
We need policies that treat special issues differently because they are. We need guidelines from #COPE on a reasonable minimum rigour for #peerreview. We need standard reporting of key metrics like RRs, profit margins, etc… We need leadership, and thank you for all you’ve already done and all you’re going to do. We’re up to chat! 17/n
