I’ve officially resigned as Associate Editor for Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience. It used to be a reputable journal, but became a case study in how forced automation destroys academic integrity. 👇

David Attenborough turned an impressive 100 years yesterday but could we perhaps also talk about how Janis celebrated her 12th birthday on the very same day and that is worth noting as well? #dogsofBlueSky 🐶🐾

One shouldn't underestimate how important preprints are for ECRs in applying for grants & jobs. However, it's very problematic that journalists report on preprints. When I declined to comment on a preprint of mine, as it had not been peer-reviewed, they said they were still going to write about it 🤷‍♀️

This is a catastrophe. While Finland has downgraded the MDPI and Frontiers journals to level 0 (meaning these publications are not recognized for research evaluation purposes), Germany has signed an agreement to promote publications in MDPI journals.

Christina Hansen Wheat @chansenwheat.bsky.social · 17/12/2024

Another great reason not to publish with MDPI. This kind of deviation from the protocol of ethical standards in research is unacceptable and should never pass review, neither from ethical boards nor from peer-reviewers.

populations express high variation in behavioral ecology across their global range and propose that this variation is key to understanding dogs' great success in the rapidly developing anthropogenic niche.
