Ten Years later: Assessments of the integrity of publications from one research group with multiple retractions
Account Res. 2023 Dec 20:1-21. doi: 10.1080/08989621.2023.2295996. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWhen a research group has multiple retracted publications and/or research misconduct by a member is evident, there is a risk that its other publications are unreliable, so a comprehensive assessment of the group's publications is advisable. We analyzed the comprehensiveness of assessment of the integrity of 300 publications by a research group with numerous retractions and known research misconduct, for 292 of which we raised concerns to publishers and academic institutions between 3/2013 and 2/2020.

Correlation between journal metrics-based academic evaluation and researchers' ethics
Account Res. 2023 Dec 18:1-29. doi: 10.1080/08989621.2023.2295415. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe "publish or perish" approach has become an integral part of an academic's life when seeking positions, striving for promotions, or competing for funding. This approach often hinges on journal-based metrics which push researchers to seek publication in journals indexed in the Web of Science. Due to the pressure to publish a certain number of publications in journals indexed in the Web of Science, researchers might attempt to find a journal with a lower impact factor, i.e., less popular and visible journals in the scientific ...
