Paper mills

Paper mills have begun to produce and sell large numbers of low-quality articles with false or plagiarized data. And, more recently, they are trying to entice journal editors by offering generous sums in exchange for the rapid acceptance of articles and by offering questionable editors and reviewers for special issues. … The post Paper mills first appeared on SciELO in Perspective.

Preprints in debate… six years later

Six years have passed since social science publishers began debating preprints. A look back shows that the "risks" and "promises" raised in that debate rested on an inadequate understanding of the nature of preprints in the field. The SciELO preprints server, however, ended up showing some unexpected benefits. … The post Preprints in debate… six years later first appeared on SciELO in Perspective.

Can AI do reliable review scientific articles?

The cost of reviewing scientific publications, both in terms of money and time spent, is growing to unmanageable proportions with current methods. It is necessary to use AI as a trust system and thus free up human resources for research tasks. It would be important for SciELO to progressively incorporate AI modules for evaluation in its preprints server as a new advance and development of the technologies it manages. Available in Spanish only. … The post Can AI do reliable review scientific articles? first appeared on SciELO in Perspective.

The scientific community is publishing (much) more and that’s a problem

A study posted on arXiv reports an exponential increase in the number of refereed scientific articles published in recent years, disproportionately outstripping the increase in the number of researchers. Scientific output per researcher as author, reviewer, and editor has increased dramatically, a phenomenon referred to as "pressure on scientific publication", classified as a problem to be identified and resolved. Available in Portuguese only. … The post The scientific community is publishing (much) more and that’s a problem first appeared on SciELO in Perspective.
