JPAI expresses concern that AI will generate even more papers than he does. 😜

The editorial board is a who's who of the wrongest people on earth. I am disappointed but of course not surprised to see JPAI still associating himself with this nonsense; flabbergasted to see Sander Greenland and Simon Wood listed there.

There's "being wrong in early in a pandemic" wrong and then there's "doubling down over and over again until you find yourself in bed with RFK Jr. and founding a whole-ass journal to discredit all of academic publishing along with all of medicine" wrong.

People really do need to stop making JPAI the face of research integrity.

Fuck that garbage crsspool of a website. I wish more of the JP audience would switch to Bsky. These JPAI Bros can stay the fuck behind though.

2. The C-score was created by John Ioannidis and colleagues.

3. Over the years, the C-score has often placed Ioannidis in the top 20 scientists worldwide.

Remember kids, the most important thing for research integrity is to first have some integrity. At least two speakers at this event have proven they have none (JPAI and Bhattacharya).

Stunning! JPAI is talking about a MAGA hero from Stanford’s conservative Hoover Institute, who coauthored the Great Barrington Declaration that was sponsored by the right-wing AIER, who CAMPAIGNED for RFK Jr (& spoke at his rallies!), & who spoke at Turning Point USA’s annual conference! Apolitical😀

Once again JPAI revealing himself as the most clueless motherfucker in the 94305 zip code.

If not for Jay, things would get political, he explains.
One longtime colleague and friend, who has kept in touch with the director since he took the job, pleads for scientists—and reporters—to give him a chance. “I do worry that taking the stance that ‘Everything was perfect, and now comes Jay Bhattacharya and destroys everything’ is very problematic,” says Stanford physician-scientist John Ioannidis. “We need some shaking up and we need that to happen rigorously. If we don’t, it will be done with political means.”

JPAI beating this drum while always leaving himself out of the "hyperprolific"category will never not be hilarious.

8 months later and this "journal" has more people on the editorial board (19) than published "research articles" (7). 😆And that's with hyperprolific author JPAI involved. He could spare them at least an article a week and never notice.

Waiting to hear that JPAI will be asked to lead the Department of Publishing Papers Faster than Anyone Could Possibly Read Them, or perhaps the Department of Never Admit When You Are Wrong but Instead Publish Weird Aggrieved "Papers" about Kardashians

Stanford's Jay Bhattacharya is rumored to be under consideration for a senior health role in the Trump admin.

He served as an expert witness in many cases opposing mask mandates and other Covid restrictions. Multiple judges have pointed to major flaws in his testimony. A thread.

It recalls the JPAI "The BMJ is biased because during COVID they published more papers from doctors who believe in the germ theory of disease than ones who don't" series of articles.

But none of those people are strongly associated with "science reform" or open science or reproducibility or metascience etc except jpai (and Greenland, weakly).

You don't think Heneghan is? He was the EIC for BMJ EBM for a long time. Prasad certainly well-accepted especially before COVID. And JPAI still speaks regularly at metascience events despite...everything.

COVID-19 advocacy bias in the BMJ: meta-research evaluation •,,, . Abstract Objectives During the COVID-19 pandemic, BMJ, a leading journal on evidence-based medicine worldwide, published many views by advocates of specific COVID-19 policies. We aimed to evaluate the presence and potential bias of this advocacy. Design and methods Scopus was searched for items published until 13 April 2024 on ‘COVID-19 OR SARS-CoV-2’. BMJ publication numbers and types before (2016−2019) and during (2020–2023) the pandemic were compared for a group of advocates favouring aggressive measures (leaders of both indieSAGE and the Vaccines-Plus initiative) and four control groups: leading members of the governmental SAGE, UK-based key signatories of the Great Barrington Declaration (GBD) (favouring more restricted measures), highly cited UK scientists and UK scientists who published the highest number of COVID-19-related papers across science (n=16 in each group). Results 122 authors published >5 COVID-19-related items each in BMJ: 18 were leading members/signatories of aggressive measures advocacy groups publishing 231 COVID-19-related BMJ documents, 53 were editors, journalists or regular columnists and 51 scientists were not identified as associated with any advocacy. Of 41 authors with >10 publications in BMJ, 8 were scientists advocating for aggressive measures, 7 were editors, 23 were journalists or regular columnists and only 3 were non-advocate scientists. Some aggressive measures advocates already had strong BMJ presence prepandemic. During pandemic years, the studied indieSAGE/Vaccines-Plus advocates outperformed in BMJ presence leading SAGE members by 16.0-fold, UK-based GBD advocates by 64.2-fold, the most-cited scientists by 16.0-fold and the authors who published most COVID-19 papers overall by 10.7-fold. The difference was driven mainly by short opinion pieces and analyses. Conclusions BMJ had a strong bias in favour of authors advocating an aggressive approach to COVID-…

I just gotta say, it’s wild how seriously we took people because they could find some errors in the whole of the scientific literature.

In addition to being catastrophically wrong about various things during COVID, let us not forget that JPAI personally attacked a graduate student by name in a peer-reviewed article in what @gorskon.bsky.social called “the most egregious ad hominem that I’ve ever seen” in an article I’ll link below.

At least they have JPAI to finish strong with a keynote on the Kardashian Index. Or maybe he'll have something to say about the "panel stacking" going on with this shit show.

I think this is rooted in the sort of grievance politics exhibited in this recent JPAI paper:

tl;dr — A top medical journal published more papers from public health experts who thought that COVID was bad than from dilettantes who thought it wasn't.

Checkmate, wokes.
