@ultracricket Wow, that's really terrible!

DOE should really have a #ScientificIntegrity policy that clearly allows scientists to speak their minds on issues of importance (so long as they make it clear they are not representing the agency...)

I thought that asking for people's consent BEFORE putting them as co-author of a paper was a minimum of scientific integrity. Am I the only one? #esr #nlp #ethics #scientificintegrity

Dear #Microscopy people, I am looking for a reference (something authoritative) on #ScientificIntegrity and #BestPractices for bioimages: don't cut and paste, use linear contrast, that sort of thing. I know publishers have rules, but is there an agreed upon resource for that?

Apparently, when some scientific journals publish an Expression of Concern on an article, they don't display it on the article itself. So, readers have no way of knowing an EoC exists, which rather defeats the purpose.

Refuse to review for or submit to journals that do this, & tell them why.
