Spain’s largest research organization confronts its dark past

Spanish National Research Council, established under Francisco Franco’s dictatorship, has published the stories of some 500 researchers and support staff purged after civil war

Ideally, we should stop talking about IFs. The IFs are highly skewed, short-sighted metrics that judge popularity rather than individual paper quality and encourage predatory journal behaviour, citation inflation and bad research practice sfdora.org/read/

This is a great article, but I would like to see stats by area/editor. Based on my experience and on that of many other colleagues working in #morphogenesis and #organogenesis, I do see many excellent papers that do not even get reviewed in @dev-journal.bsky.social and end up published elsewhere
