Figured @hansonmark.bsky.social might know something? #SciPub #ResearchIntegrity

Not that I know unfortunately.

Ok, thanks! It's a shame there is not a publicly available version of whatever the publishers use (although many of them don't seem to be doing a good job with it).

@abalkina.bsky.social would be the one in the know.

In the meantime, our Strain explorer beta includes the "Impact Inflation" tab. This shows which journals have abnormally high IF for their SJR, which indicates infiltration by self/ring-citing authors.

Nice, thanks! Would love some kind of tool that just takes someone's eg Google Scholar and does some visualisation and stats of their citations by publishers, authors, institutions, countries, etc. Can do some filtering on Scopus but it's not very efficient and probably missing some stuff.
