SARS-CoV-2 verursacht zwar kein HIV/AIDS, aber seine Fähigkeit, Immunfunktionsstörungen hervorzurufen – einschließlich T-Zell-Depletion und -Dysfunktion, erhöhter Anfälligkeit für Infektionen, einschließlich opportunistischer Infektionen, beschleunigter biologischer Alterung, neurologischer und systemischer Schäden – bietet Parallelen zu AIDS im breiteren immunologischen Kontext.

Update. _Nature Structural & Molecular Biology_ is "now offering all [its] reviewers the opportunity to invite an early career researcher to formally co-review manuscripts with them."

Wow... I was just pointed to this paper
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.surfin.2024.104081
and its retraction
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.surfin.2024.104081

Want to read the first sentence of the introduction together with me?
"Certainly, here is a possible introduction for your topic: Lithiummetal batteries are..."

What the...
This passed #peerreview in a journal with IF=6.3 ?!

Update. Here's how #arXiv is dealing with a similar problem in computer science.
https://blog.arxiv.org/2025/10/31/attention-authors-updated-practice-for-review-articles-and-position-papers-in-arxiv-cs-category/

"Before being considered for submission to arXiv’s #CS category, review articles and position papers must now be accepted at a journal or a conference and complete successful peer review…In the past few years, arXiv has been flooded with papers. Generative #AI / #LLMs have added to this flood by making papers – especially papers not introducing new research results – fast and easy to write. While categories across arXiv have all seen a major increase in submissions, it’s particularly pronounced in arXiv’s CS category."

"More than 20% of chemistry researchers have deliberately added information they believe to be incorrect into their manuscripts during the peer review process, in order to get their papers published."

Since there are many potential associations between 5 personality traits and 2 outcomes (in 2 possible directions), we found the #RegisteredReport approach in @pcirr useful for restricting hypothesis and analysis #DegreesOfFreedom. We received expert #PeerReview input that led us to adjust and improve our research plan. (3/3)

New rules on my part for requests for peer review:

1. If you write to me on a Saturday or a Sunday it is an instant decline.
2. If you insist on having the review within 7 days, I will decline.
3. If you already set up an account for me (probably the umpteenth one) on your editorial software, it is an instant decline.
4. Springer, Elsevier, and predatory publishers should not even bother asking.

You want me to work for free for you, but you don't care about my weekends or my current workload and your focus is on making money, not publishing science? Respect your peer reviewers if you are not paying for their time!
