Keystone: finding bad actors and papermills with network analysis using OpenAlex medium.com/p/3a48de927406

I feel like if a video is titled 'How to perform the heimlich manœuvre', then YouTube should consider putting the ads at the end instead of at the start.

The French version of Monster Munch really missed a trick. They could have called it Monster Mange.

Bad actors in the scholarly literature come in many forms!

Wouldn't it be nice if we could identify millers in OpenAlex data? This is about a project called 'Keystone' #papermills #researchintegrity medium.com/p/3a48de927406

Papermills prefer Open Access. When we break down analysis of Papermill Alarm alerts, we find that papermills seem to target OA journals. It isn't clear why. link.medium.com/YESSHIZoSHb Smut Clyde, X-Ray Haruspex Anna Abalkina @abalkina.bsky.social Crossref | @[email protected] ROR community | @[email protected] OpenAlex

I live with my wife and daughter. My wife thinks that my daughter is the reason we've watched Frozen at least once a week since before Christmas. Daughter doesn't even know how to work the remote... I think my wife should let it go.
