>I'm a future doctor taking organic next year. Tell me how to get a good grade!
Just make sure you memorize everything. Don't bother trying to understand the concepts, that's a waste of time and meant for actual chemistry students who'll need it later on. It's a lot easier if you just brute force your way through it and memorize all the mechanisms.

>I'm a pissant undergrad, how do I into synthesis research?
Go walk up to a professor and tell them you want to work in their lab. Most are glad to take on a new student, provided you aren't completely retarded - you're basically free labor. Note that if your school has a lot of future doctors then you might have to compete with them on grades, some of them might also be bumming the prof so they could pad up their applications. Also, note that if you're at a big fancy school you're gonna need good grades regardless bud

>Elsevier
Elsevier a shit. Anyone else remember the Chaos, Solitons, and Fractals incident from a few years back? Always made me wonder just how many journals exist as just a little fiefdom for the editor to push their own papers.
https://www.nature.com/articles/456432a

I would like to thank Zhang, Wu, Yang, Zhu and Liu for the laugh.

Special acknowledgement to the peer reviewers, The Journal of Surfaces and Interfaces, Elsevier and the China University of Geosciences.

One of the tables goes off the page and figure 2.1 is squished as hell, what the fuck is this schizo shit. Also fuck Elsevier

Researchers are also concerned that the rise of generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools will exacerbate the problem by providing more ways to quickly generate fake papers that can dodge current detection methods.


Five-point plan
United2Act’s statement is the outcome of a summit last May that was convened by COPE and the International Association of Scientific, Technical and Medical Publishers (STM), based in Oxford, UK. Researchers, research-integrity analysts, publishers and funders attended the meeting, and produced five areas that need action, enshrined in the statement. Each point has an associated working group, which will: improve education and awareness of the problem; conduct detailed research into paper mills; improve post-publication corrections; support the development of tools to verify the identities of authors, editors and reviewers; and ensure that the groups across publishing that are tackling the issue communicate.

Signatories to the statement include the prestigious funder the European Research Council, the publishing-services company Clarivate and major publishers including Elsevier, Wiley and Springer Nature. (Nature is editorially independent of its publisher, Springer Nature.)


More than 10,000 research papers were retracted in 2023 — a new record

“The consensus statement was really just the basis for what we’re going to do next,” says Kahn. With the working and steering groups, she hopes that action against paper mills will follow.

Deep study
Most of the groups have already held their first meetings. Anna Abalkina, a social scientist at the Free University of Berlin and an independent research-integrity analyst, attended the summit. She sits on three of the five working groups, including the ‘research group’, which will take a scholarly approach to studying paper mills to fill in knowledge gaps about their status and scale. Abalkina hopes the group will publish two or three papers on its work.

>Disinfecting a wound can take it from infected to uninfected

Sadly this is wrong.
Let me give an example on how this assumption not only is wrong, but lead to severy retarded treatments.

In diabetes a lot of people get this "necrotozing fasciitis due to streptococcus".
Which mostly lead to "amputation", even though they literally kill all the streptococcus by injecting and marinating the foot in "streptomycin" which kills all the bugs.
But the underlying issue is:
>the leg is necrotizing
>because diabetis causes tissue suffocation
>due to aterial and capilarry constriction
>hence cutting of oxigen supply
>which leads to tissue death
>which makes strep colonized the already dead material, and decompose it
>killing the strep does not cure the cause

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3546345/
https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1177/1358836X9000100204

And since the 80s several doctors mentioned and demonstrated that reoxigenation and resolving capillary constriction in diabetics would revive dead tissue, and avoid the amputation.

Helping with all types of oxigen deficiency related necrosis.

Doctors and the miss the point on "correlation != causation".

I took the time to google that study in question
>Mask study published by NIH
lmao, it was published by Elsevier, but is available on an NIH preprint server. Shows how little education the daily fail has.
>suggests N95 Covid masks
1. Calling them "covid masks" shows that these people didn't lift a single finger in their lives. They were used in the hearth sector, and more commonly in other fields as well. Grind the paint off a wood door without a "Covid mask", I wanna see the result.
2. they didn't test N95 masks but "KF94", indicating that they're Korean masks. Is the daily mail gonna mention that? Of course not.
> may expose wearers to dangerous level of toxic compounds linked to seizures and cancer
>LiNkEd To
Do the readers not know what VOC are? Yeah probably not. Will the daily mail mention that the concentration is going down within a few minutes after opening the package? Probably not. Yeah, there were some brands whose masks had an unpleasant smell for a few minutes. Every person who doesn't huff glue would just open them, what a bit and instinctively reduce the level of harmful chemicals.
Sensationalist article about a nothing burger. My favourite part is that they claim it's a new study and that it came out months ago. Maybe they want to say that it's new to them?

I need more Sci-Hub memes for my collection. also every time you donated to the project, Elsevier gets a little angrier

>Because China and India are a big market for subscription and publishing, Elsevier and other publishers are increasingly turning their business over there,
I doubt journals will stick to Elsevier. The new generation of funding board Profs are sick of seeing the drain of APC costs only to have it spent on shit outsourced post editing, wasting the precious time of Western researchers correcting shitty proofs.

Springer will last a bit longer due to much better policies, but ultimately we are already in a situation where some of the most prestigious journals are fully open source.
> I have had increasingly experiences over the past 5 years, including rejection of a manuscript which all the corrections have been made after the change of the associate editor to an Asian woman
That's very unusual, I'm sorry for your experience. Shit is changing fast though if that helps.

This is also due to the fact that Western Profs would much rather sit on the board of funding agencies than on journal editorial boards. Ultimately we will probably see the scientific community split due to deglobalisation.

>>15668364
Because China and India are a big market for subscription and publishing, Elsevier and other publishers are increasingly turning their business over there, I have had increasingly bad experiences over the past 5 years, including rejection of a manuscript which all the corrections have been made after the change of the associate editor to an Asian woman, whoever has the money for subscriptions and grants controls the editorial boards

Hi all dear /sci/ bros, I want to read the following journal:
Solar Energy Materials and Solar Cells
but I will never pay 7k dollars per year to do it to fucking Elsevier.
Do we have an archive of old numbers etc that I can read?
Or can you rip off the last years of it for me if you have an institutional access etc.?
Thank you.
