In the Dark<p><strong>ResearchFish Again</strong></p><p>One of the things I definitely don’t miss about working in the UK university system is the dreaded&nbsp;<em>Researchfish</em>. If you’ve never heard of this bit of software, it’s intended to collect data relating to the outputs of research grants funded by the various Research Councils. That’s not an unreasonable thing to want to do, of course, but the interface is – or at least&nbsp;<em>was</em>&nbsp;when I last used it several years ago – extremely clunky and user-unfriendly. That meant that, once a year, along with other academics with research grants (in my case from STFC) I had to waste hours uploading bibliometric and other data by hand. A sensible system would have harvested this automatically as it is mostly available online at various locations or allowed users simply to upload their own publication list as a file; most of us keep an up-to-date list of publications for various reasons (including vanity!) anyway. Institutions also keep track of all this stuff independently. All this duplication seemed utterly pointless.</p><p>I always wondered what happened to the information I uploaded every year, which seemed to disappear without trace into the bowels of RCUK. I assume it was used for something, but mere researchers were never told to what purpose. I guess it was used to assess the performance of researchers in some way.</p><p>When I left the UK in 2018 to work full-time in Ireland, I took great pleasure in ignoring the multiple emails demanding that I do yet another&nbsp;<em>Researchfish</em>&nbsp;upload. The automated reminders turned into individual emails threatening that I would never again be eligible for funding if I didn’t do it, to which I eventually replied that I wouldn’t be applying for UK research grants anymore anyway. So there. Eventually the emails stopped.</p><p>Then, about three years ago, ResearchFish went from being merely pointless to downright sinister as a scandal erupted about the company that operates it (called Infotech), involving the abuse of data and the bullying of academics. I wrote about this <a href="https://telescoper.blog/2022/04/19/the-researchfish-scandal/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>. It <a href="https://telescoper.blog/2022/05/19/the-researchfish-saga-continues/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">then transpired</a> that UKRI, the umbrella organization governing the UK’s research council had been actively conniving with Infotech to target critics. An inquiry was promised but I don’t know what became of that.</p><p>Anyway, all that was a while ago and I neither longer live nor work in the UK so why mention ResearchFish again, now?</p><p>The reason is something that shocked me when I found out about it a few days ago. <a href="https://researchfish.com/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Researchfish</a> is now operated by commercial publishing house <em>Elsevi</em>er.</p><p>Words fail. I can’t be the only person to see a gigantic conflict of interest. How can a government agency allow the assessment of its research outputs to be outsourced to a company that profits hugely by the publication of those outputs? There’s a phrase in British English which I think is in fairly common usage: <em><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marking_your_own_homework" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">marking your own homework</a></em>. This relates to individuals or organizations who have been given the responsibility for regulating their own products. Is very apt here.</p><p>The acquisition of Researchfish isn’t the only example of Elsevier getting its talons stuck into academia life. Elsevier also “runs” the bibliometric service <a href="https://www.scopus.com/home.uri" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Scopus</a> which it markets as a sort of quality indicator for academic articles. I put “runs” in inverted commas because Scopus is hopelessly inaccurate and unreliable. I can certainly speak from experience on that. Nevertheless, Elsevier has managed to dupe research managers – clearly not the brightest people in the world – into thinking that Scopus is a quality product. I suppose the more you pay for something the less inclined you are to doubt its worth, because if you do find you have paid worthless junk you look like an idiot.</p><p>A few days ago I posted a piece that include this excerpt from an <a href="https://www.wired.com/story/inside-arxiv-most-transformative-code-science/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">article in Wired</a>:</p><blockquote><p>Every industry has certain problems universally acknowledged as broken: insurance in health care, licensing in music, standardized testing in education, tipping in the restaurant business. In academia, it’s publishing. Academic publishing is dominated by for-profit giants like Elsevier and Springer. Calling their practice a form of thuggery isn’t so much an insult as an economic observation.&nbsp;</p></blockquote><p>With the steady encroachment of the likes of Elsevier into research assessment, it is clear that as well as raking in huge profits, the thugs are now also assuming the role of the police. The academic publishing industry is a monstrous juggernaut that is doing untold damage to research and is set to do more. It has to stop.</p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://telescoper.blog/tag/bibliometrics/" target="_blank">#bibliometrics</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://telescoper.blog/tag/elsevier/" target="_blank">#Elsevier</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://telescoper.blog/tag/infotech/" target="_blank">#Infotech</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://telescoper.blog/tag/research-assessment/" target="_blank">#ResearchAssessment</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://telescoper.blog/tag/researchfish/" target="_blank">#Researchfish</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://telescoper.blog/tag/scopus/" target="_blank">#SCOPUS</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://telescoper.blog/tag/ukri/" target="_blank">#UKRI</a></p>
