The rise of the guest editor—Discontinuities of editorship in scholarly publishing.Knöchelmann, M., Hesselmann, F., Reinhart, M., & Schendzielorz, C. (2022).The rise of the guest editor—Discontinuities of editorship in scholarly publishing. Frontiers in Research Metrics and Analytics. https://doi.org/10.3389/frma.2021.748171 Abstract
Scholarly publishing lives on traditioned terminology that gives meaning to subjects such as authors, inhouse editors and external guest editors, artifacts such as articles, journals, special issues, and collected editions, or practices of acquisition, selection, and review. These subjects, artifacts, and practices ground the constitution of scholarly discourse. And yet, the meaning ascribed to each of these terms shifts, blurs, or is disguised as publishing culture shifts, which becomes manifest in new digital publishing technology, new forms of publishing management, and new forms of scholarly knowledge production. As a result, we may come to over- or underestimate changes in scholarly communication based on traditioned [...] |

Cycles of Invisibility: The Limits of Transparency in Dealing with Scientific Misconduct.Hesselmann, F., & Reinhart, M. (2021).Cycles of Invisibility: The Limits of Transparency in Dealing with Scientific Misconduct. Social Studies of Science, 51(3), 414-438. https://doi.org/10.1177/0306312720975201 Abstract
Sanctions for plagiarism, falsification and fabrication in research are primarily symbolic. This paper investigates sanctions for scientific misconduct and their preceding investigation processes as visible and legitimate symbols. Using three different data sources (retraction notices, expert interviews, and a survey of scientists), we show that sanctions for scientific misconduct operate within a cycle of visibility, in which sanctions are highly visible, while investigation and decision-making procedures remain mostly invisible. This corresponds to high levels of acceptance of sanctions in the scientific community, but a low acceptance of the respective authorities. Such a punitiveness in turn exacerbates confidentiality concerns, so that |
