I posted this text as a comment under the @retractionwatch.com article. Don't expect Ivan Oransky to approve it.

@charlespiller.bsky.social demands critics correct and retract their reviews of his book. Yet Piller himself attributed a false but very nasty quote to me in this same book.

Sleuth breeding program started

This time, Trump is absolutely right.

My condolences, @ucl.ac.uk

Csaba Szabo flooded with papermill offers. Now they propose to buy authorships on his papers, first, second, third or even all of them. $720 for first authorship! forbetterscience.com/2025/05/19/a...

Funny, another Italian fraudster also sued everyone and he still has his job. forbetterscience.com/2023/10/09/c...

I can't even....

Good luck, Jolanda Spadavecchia! forbetterscience.com/2025/05/26/g...

I can't wait to find out who I really am! x.com/SciGuardians...

"Globalist" is the code word for "Jew".

Thank you, America

TL;DR Climate change, "DEI", environment and vaccines are all research misconduct now. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Interesting takedown of Colossal Biosciences of 'dire wolf de-extinction' (spoiler: they did not) fame. forbetterscience.com/2025/05/21/c...

Russian language is run on antonyms. They get words like peace, freedom, fascism, elections and democracy all backwards.

Very proud to have @dereklowe.bsky.social among my readers! www.science.org/content/blog...

Papermill expert Armin Fuhrer: "I expect an apology from you by 12 noon on Friday and a correction with Prof. Sabel, otherwise you will receive a letter from the public prosecutor’s office." forbetterscience.com/2025/05/23/s...

I read that In 2023 alone, 4.86 million people died in the EU. This WHITE GENOCIDE must be STOPPED! Thank you for your attention to this matter!

And happy Friday to Prof Bernhard Sabel and his writing assistant!

Dalsh*t seems to be an avid reader of FBS, but he never learns to attribute credit. cen.acs.org/people/Russi... Original reporting: forbetterscience.com/2025/02/21/s...

Damia Barcelo is such a loser.

Eric Berton. The one who supported Raoult's fraud and patient abuse, and Chabriere's antisemitism and threats of violence. Yes, come and work for Berton. forbetterscience.com/2021/02/03/f...

Look @weldeiry.bsky.social , Perpetrator @elisabethbik.bsky.social plagiarised someone's paper from 2020, then backdated it to 2016! #ScienceGuardians #perp4issadist

As long as the Blacks and immigrants have it much worse, Trumpsters are happy.

I have an offer. Russia gets back historically russian lands of Saxony and Alaska and lets Ukraine in peace?

The real tragedy is that Damia Barcelo got kicked out as EiC at Elsevier shortly after my email. x.com/SciGuardians...

From collecting frauds designed to expose junk journals, I know that we rarely get any insight into how predatory academic services operate. So this description of a papermill operates is unusual and valuable. forbetterscience.com/2025/05/19/a...

This piece from @forbetterscience.bsky.social is gold: it reveals how paper mills operate from the inside. Apparently, long non-coding RNAs are a recurring topic in paper mills. Interestingly, that’s the focus of a recent article in Profesional de la Información: forbetterscience.com/2025/05/19/a...

What, Spadavecchia guilty? CNRS gave up?

A chilling read: “This is part of what’s going on in academic publishing in 2025. This is what we get when publication metrics become goals, rather than indicators. This is what happens when careerist pressure and opportunism form an unholy alliance.” forbetterscience.com/2025/05/19/a...

This is a must-read. Csaba Szabó, the author of Unreliable, was approached by a paper mill, and he decided to conduct a sting operation. He documented how paper mills operate. forbetterscience.com/2025/05/19/a...

Every Friday.

Not all birds have teeth! Only falcons, pelicans and chickens, according to Iranian papermill experts.

Every Friday.
