July 2020 – Article Article: The rise of preprints and their value in social sciences and humanities Essay published in Science Editing Volume 7(1); 2020 > Article Introduction from the author - In this short essay I describe the experience I have gained from my own ‘experiments,’ so to speak, on the actual value of non-peer-reviewed preprints in social sciences and humanities and whether they are beneficial for their authors. To present my ideas about the possible value of preprints as a means of (somewhat primitive) scientific publishing, the article will start with three cases, in which my preprints turned out to be useful and citable. Then, it proceeds to draw some short but worthwhile lessons for prospective authors. Author: Quan-Hoang Vuong
January 2020 – Article Article: Plan S, self-publishing, and addressing unreasonable risks of society publishing Article published in Learned Publishing 33(1), 64-68. Key points - Societies face increasing pressure to contain costs and retain revenues, which are threatened by open access mandates. - Funders and other science publishing campaigns need to recognize the value of learned societies and work with them to sustain the production of quality knowledge. - Self-publishing via preprint servers may threaten the quality of academic research. - Societies can reinforce their value proposition through a model of academic entrepreneurship, including research activities, media engagement, and consultancy.

December 2019 – Article Article: The limitations of retraction notices and the heroic acts of authors who correct the scholarly record: an analysis of retractions of papers published from 1975-2019 Article published in Learned Publishing, 33(1), 64-68. While researchers with retracted papers carry a permanent stain on their publishing records, understanding the causes and initiators of such retractions can shed a different light on the matter. This paper, based on a random sample of 2,046 retracted papers, which were published between 1975 and 2019, extracted from Retraction Watch and the websites of major publishers, shows that 53% of the retraction notices do not specify who initiated the retraction. The results carry three implications for scientific transparency: retraction notices need to be more informative; limitation sections ought to be a required and even an open section of all published articles; and finally, promoting ‘heroic acts’ in science can positively change the current publishing culture.
