Inclusive: For Better Science is 10 years old!
Nobel Prize laureates and predatory conferences – why such mutual attraction?
Schneider Shorts 10.10.2025 – – how Nobel Magic works, a German Nobelist investigates again, a Polish professor out of the job, a wise fellow in Sweden, a cunning move from Denmark, with various retractions in Heliyon, Wiley behaving funny, and finally, with a scamference heir suing Canadian university.
“This bullshit is a form of greenwashing, as policymakers might believe that with growing amount of “research” we are making progress. Except we are heading nowhere.” – Alexander Magazinov
Schneider Shorts 25.10.2024 – successful papermilling in Canada and Germany, less successful papermilling in Spain and Ukraine, an open letter to Springer, UK Biobank letting bad guys in, with a dead psychologist, a Spanish cancer warrior in France, an evaporated water institute, haggling Vietnamese, and finally, why coffee and alcohol are good news.
“As you will see, there is a lot of papermilling happening in Gliwice, as if this place has suddenly become attractive to many “researchers” from different corners of the papermilling spectrum. ” – Alexander Magazinov
“Benign-by-design, circular economy in the plastics industry, biodegradable antibiotics – the sustainable design of chemistry is the central theme of Prof. Klaus Kümmerer’s work. “
Schneider Short 19.07.2024 – a good russian in Estonia, Iranian papermill special with an autophagy god and regime’s top elites, biotech founders sacked, a German in Portugal corrects papers, and finally, when Nature and Science papers become irrelevant.
Alexander Magazinov would like you to meet an Iranian scholar named Ali Akbar Velayati.
“There are therefore grounds for suspecting that there have been such serious deviations from good research practice that the matter should be referred to the National Board for Assessment of Research Misconduct for further investigation.”
