It's a shame that at a time when many 🇺🇦 scientists are fighting and dying at the front, fraudsters from science are buying fake publications and citations, and post-Soviet rectors are also signing agreements with these parasites!

Declining integrity standards a national problem

"Politicians, whatever their persuasion, are reluctant to see themselves exposed to investigation, to the identification of failings."

"In an exclusive in-depth interview with 7.30, Mr Redlich explained why the reforms he proposed to strengthen the agency are vital to upholding integrity in the state. Mr Redlich's investigations brought the dark underbelly of decision-makers and those in power out of the shadows."

"He and other anti-corruption commissioners have identified the hollowing out and marginalisation of the public service and the rise of a shadow workforce of political advisors."

"Robert Redlich has expressed his disappointment about reforms not passing in parliament." He "says raising the bar for public hearings has weakened IBAC
Integrity standards have deteriorated in several states..."

"The change would allow probes into grey-level corruption that may not be illegal but still represent serious misconduct."

Police officers are in positions to weild authority over people in ways that can wreck havoc on those people's futures, health, families, communities, and even lives.

Bad law enforcement officers should not be allowed to abuse this power in secret.

Make police misconduct records public.

by in (published April 3rd):

"Sometime last year, an anonymous letter was sent to the office of Gov. Jim Justice, alleging over a dozen incidents of misconduct within the State Police. It detailed drunken fights, office affairs, misspent funds, overtime theft, sexual assaults, and how a trooper had installed a hidden camera in the women’s locker room at the State Police Training Academy.

"The letter worked its way through the state government like a slow-burning fuse. In the last few weeks, it has exploded. After the letter was sent to legislators and described by media outlets in mid-February, the governor confirmed several acts of misconduct among troopers. State Police Superintendent Jan Cahill has resigned under pressure from Justice. And State Police have arrested a trooper on domestic violence charges, which his attorney says are retaliation for speaking out."

How can we improve the odds of blocking or identifying research ?
ssph-journal.org/articles/10.3

Among the suggestions here: should openly share , , and . should usually require it. services should reward the journals that do.
