In which thesaurus Kyrgyzstan is a synonym of Gibbs?! Fortunately AI will help us solve this mystery 🤣 Ahaha
‘The Science of The Total Environment’ by @elsevierconnect.bsky.social is retracting dbrech.irit.fr/pls/apex/f?p... and expressing concerns dbrech.irit.fr/pls/apex/f?p... quite rightfully...

If you send me the list of 1 million DOIs of CSDL, I can filter the PPS results for you. (I didn't find how to download the CSDL metadata)

One can download the CSV dump from the PPS (menu Actions/Download), extract the DOI column, and check them against @ieeexplore.ieee.org.

Quite surprising: Some IEEE ‘tortured’ conferences organised several editions, with ‘tortured’ articles accepted each year. See “How a Tortured Conference Becomes a Series:
An Analysis of Conference Manipulations” published in ACM/IEEEE JCDL'25 ut3-toulouseinp.hal.science/hal-05497913...

Retraction rate: 36% = 227 of the 634 IEEE articles you reported on PubPeer for tortured phrases identified by the PPS Tortured detector dbrech.irit.fr/pls/apex/f?p...

Here are the 634 IEEE articles that the PPS flagged with tortured phrases and that you reported on PubPeer, @lonnibesancon.bsky.social. The last column links to the PubPeer posts. dbrech.irit.fr/pls/apex/f?p...

Thanks for pinging me @altmetric.com. I replied to @isaacerbele.bsky.social: bsky.app/profile/gcab...
Use #bibCheck if you are a French academic: it's an online tool that audits bibliographies and reports retracted or inexistent references, developed in collaboration with @cnrs-inist.bsky.social (see slide 25 ut3-toulouseinp.hal.science/hal-05646645...). Otherwise check github.com/gianlucasb/h...

Il faudrait que les publishers citent d’autres papiers dont je suis auteur : sur les sneaked références, les stealth corrections, les tortured conference series, les feet of clay… Ahah !

Et tu as raison : ça fait +1 en nombre de citations à chaque rétractation (dizaines par jour). Pourquoi est-ce indexé différemment sur pour @ioppublishing.bsky.social, mystère ?!
Quoi qu’il en soit, ces citations n’augmentent pas mon h-index (métrique bancale, au passage)…

@ioppublishing.bsky.social mentionne dans ses notices de rétractation notre preprint qui a introduit les ‘tortured phrases’. Je dis « mentionne » car la réf n’est pas considérée comme étant dans une bibliographie et n’est pas indexée.
