One imaginary sees the scientific literature as a gigantic library, with texts to be read. Another sees it as a database, with facts to be mined. Our analysis clarifies contrasting expectations informing current publishing innovations, and their epistemic and political risks.

Almost 2 years ago Le Monde reported that CNRS & Université of Lille had opened an investigation about 60 articles published by a University Prof and a Research Director at CNRS. Two years on, nothing seems to have happened. The count on PubPeer is now at ~150 with comments still coming in.

@cnrs.fr has taken action following an investigation into research integrity breaches. Thoughtful reporting by @dalmeet.bsky.social in @chemistryworld.com.
Kudos to @raphavisses.bsky.social for blowing the whistle — even when it first felt like shouting into the wind in the middle of a shitstorm.
