~80% studies about social media have industry COI by author and/or editor — but *only* 20% studies disclose a COI. FYI @thehonestbroker.bsky.social @revkin.bsky.social @jackstilgoe.bsky.social @davidlazer.bsky.social @wihbey.bsky.social

1) Relevant to debate over pre-print by @jayvanbavel.bsky.social et al. — is 50 years of research on fallacies in "counting expert consensus." For a start, see STS researchers on 97% climate consensus campaign, which is the main model for the social media effort. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
