Director of Journal Operations at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR). Opinions my own.https://bsky.app/profile/evanko.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/evanko.bsky.social/post/3mdv43w46o22pThe estimate that 10% of cancer papers could be from paper mills is somewhat shocking, but less so when country of origin and rate of increase in paper output by country relative to global output is taken into account. Nice to see AACR journals with the lowest percentage of suspect papers.

They incorrectly state that Cancer Discovery "is seemingly excluded from the offer." We will add a table to clarify journal-specific details.07 Mar 2025 15:43 +0000at://did:plc:ebb4bixda5cf5prgosmxl5dh/app.bsky.feed.post/3ljsdxai2n225https://bsky.app/profile/evanko.bsky.social/post/3ljazfahegs2gAACR journals launch Guaranteed Peer Review.

PhD-level expertise now required to evaluate accuracy of some outputs. Nice point about using GenAI to introduce novel approaches for humans to investigate properly. https://open.substack.com/pub/oneusefulthing/p/what-just-happened https://open.substack.com/pub/oneusefulthing/p/what-just-happened?r=dski7&utm_medium=ios19 Dec 2024 13:26 +0000at://did:plc:ebb4bixda5cf5prgosmxl5dh/app.bsky.feed.post/3ldnxxmfzck2g
