By Leonid Schneider, on research integrity, biomedical ethics and academic publishing
Schneider Shorts 20.12.2024 – dirty old man now harmless enough to retract THAT paper, editors on a stealth mission, with an Italian chatbot, a Czech rector papermilling, a second investigation in Scotland, some crazy citation farming, and a sharp-eyed ophthalmology editor threatening sleuth with “repercussions”.
Schneider Shorts 9.08.2024 – Polish rector extorts journalists for money as yet another papermiller is installed, how to look like an Israeli Scientist, sleuth’s boss accused of fraud, retractions for innocent Italians, Sicilian man gets a new job, and finally, an obituary on another master from Messina.
“The University of Messina was, in short, a good business that appealed to many, including organized crime on both sides of the Strait of Messina.” – Aneurus Inconstans
Schneider Shorts 14.10.2022 – the mystery past of Dresden rector, a sacked dean in Czechia, a Don’t mess with Texas mega-correction in Nature, concerns expressed for Sicilian nepotist fraudsters, an indignant Weizmann scientist, scamferences legalised in Würzburg, and new fun stories of the Hindawi papermill!
Either a Muslim colleague or a retired technician did it. Or so these Sicilian professors insist.
