Open letter from a group of sleuths re problems with editors/papers at Scientific Reports
deevybee.blogspot.com/2024/1…
They've published 23K papers in 2024 with APC of £2090, raising £48 million from this journal alone, so should be able to put resource into cleaning this up.

NEW #sharkscience out today in @ScienceMagazine led by @SimonDedman. "Biological role and importance of sharks in the Anthropocene ocean". Shark conservation needs to prioritise recovery of the ecosystem function of sharks.

Great new comment about the need for evidence based management to support coral reefs in the face of climate change 🪸
New comment in @NatureClimate.
"This is not a call for inaction. We must act - with haste. But popular urgency should not prioritize technological and scientific feasibility over climate action and evidence-driven care for social-ecological systems."

The value of ‘wasting time’ on deep thinking is often overlooked in a scientific ecosystem increasingly tainted by Wall Street’s productivity mindset.

Climate experts were increasingly saying that keeping heating below 1.5C is near impossible, yet it remains the global goal. So I asked hundreds of top IPCC scientists what they thought. What they said shocked even me…
