In a recent opinion paper (https://doi.org/10.3897/ese.2022.e95926), it was argued that individuals with multiple retractions or a record of academic misconduct should not serve as editors, including as editors- in-chief, on the editorial boards of scholarly or academic journals. As a first step towards appreciating how such a policy could be applied in practice, the presence of 30 individuals listed on the Retraction Watch Leaderboard on editorial boards was screened. Six cases are highlighted to gain an appreciation of the potential reputational risks that journals and publishers might incur by including individuals with a tainted academic record on editorial boards. Given the reputational, legal and other risks associated with this type of assessment and decision, more formal positioning and guidance are needed by global ethics policy-related bodies such as COPE, the ICMJE, and the CSE, even more so in journals that claim to follow these organizations’ ethical guidelines.

The necessary consent of the surrogate mother is a safeguard of both her autonomy and her self-dispositionand guarantees not only the protection of human value (article 2, paragraph 1 of the GreekConstitution) but also the protection of her personality (article 5 paragraph 1 of the Greek Constitutionand article 57 the Greek Civil Code). It is worth noting, after all, that sometimes it is necessary to restrictthe freedom of some people, in order to ensure the freedom of others. The gestational surrogate expectantis not forced for her act. Autonomy presupposes the possibility of formulating and implementinga decision, as a form of personal freedom, having as a result that pressure opposes the obstructionof the surrogate mother and the future parents to do what they want and therefore feel free and notbe oppressed indirectly. On the other hand, Ronald Dworkin reports on the importance of autonomy inreproduction. According to the liberal view of human value, a behavior is not characterized as inhumanand degrading, nor immoral, in case it is not perceived as such by the subject who participates in it oraccepts it. Otherwise, an objective approach to this principle would be in case that a behavior is consideredto be inhuman by social criteria and regardless of the expression of the individual’s free consentand her possible desire to continue in activities offensive to the individual.

Here we attempt to present an application of epistemologically significant concepts that have already been described in depth in previous works. First and foremost, we refer to the dual paired method(s) of epistēmē, which is critically different from the scientific method due to a very common misconception ubiquitous among scholars and academics al over; but we also refer to surveillance, theory and truth, as well as the two new, save relevant, concepts of surveillant reality and experiential reality. The example is taken from tennis, a field to which one of the authors regularly contributes. We shall attempt to explore the ways in which the dual paired method of epistēmē is applied to sports science (in tennis) and, based on that, to clarify the concept and the differences between surveillant reality and experiential reality.

The email that is indicated on an academic paper usually reflects that of the corresponding author (CA). In some cases, there may be more than one CA, and thus emails. It stands to reason that the email, especially if its is an institutional email, should obligatorily match that of the CA’s affiliation. This report highlights 47 papers, all in Wiley (Hindawi) open access journals, in which the institutional email address suffix does not match or correspond to the stated affiliation indicated as the CA’s affiliation. All papers, except for one, have a stated Chinese academic affiliation. One possibility is that such papers are associated with paper mills, i.e., third party paid services providing content, and possibly even emails to CAs. Editors of the journals in which these papers have been published have the responsibility to investigate.

This paper follows an interdisciplinary approach through at least three disciplines, i.e. logic, ontology and sociology (of expertise). Its aim is to provide a useful tool for the fields related to the study of expertise to demarcate the various scientific fields. In the process several issues are also addressed; issues such as causation and negation that are equally important for this discussion but current literature does not and maybe cannot cover.

This article aims to clarify the term "inclusion" and to highlight its value within the school environment, as well as to promote inclusive education in Greece. First, an attempt is made to define the term followed by the presentation of the relevant legal framework. Next the differences between Special Education and Co-Education are pinpointed in order for the reader to identify their basic differentiating elements. Then the problems that hinder the implementation of inclusion in schools are presented and ways to solve them are suggested. Finally, the terms of “Inclusive” and “Intercultural Education” are analyzed and compared. Inclusion in Greece, despite the obstacles it faces, can become a dominant and constructive way of learning.

The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the natural appropriateness of the English-drilled and fingered recorder for playing and teaching the basic archetypal movable intervallic structures of Byzantine chant and Islamic art music. The approach lies in the following steps: i. reference to key epistemological features of the research conducted in this quest, ii. historical and functional identification of the said basic structures, by tracing their common central primary diatonic modal cell: the “spondeiac hexachord”; this is achieved by combining historical and systemic considerations; iii. direct attribution of their genesis to the drilling of primary flutes; iv. integral structural synthesis and exposition of both systems and their primary evolution as generated by the spondeiac hexachord; v. identification of the precise drilling and fingering scheme involved, with special focus on the Islamic nāy and the English recorder; vi. arguments underlining the superiority of the modern standard English recorder as a medium for these musics, supporting its adoption and propagation and recommending the manufacture of new “sopranone” and “tenorone” instruments in B♭(π); vii. a full corresponding fingering chart for the English recorder, thoroughly explained and annotated.

200 years ago, the Ecumenical Patriarchate called a synod, to honour the Three Teachers, that is the three reformers of the notational system of Eastern Orthodoxy’s ecclesiastical chant tradition: Chrysanthos of Madytos, Archimandrite and subsequently Archbishop of Dyrrachium (modern day Durrës, Albania), Gregorios the Lampadarios and then Protopsaltis of the Great Church, and Chourmouzios, a music teacher, then honoured with the officium of Archivist. The synod gave an official status to their so-called New Method (hereafter abbreviated as NM) and issued an encyclical inviting all cantors to Constantinople to learn this method. 200 years later, the music-loving mood of this journal’s publishers brought us as well, to honour these men. Although mentalities and psaltic habits might have changed, we understand ourselves descendants from these three men whom we see as benefactors, and therefore we also feel the duty to honour them.
200年前，大公牧首区召开了一次主教会议，以纪念三位教师，即东正教教会圣歌传统中记事制度的三位改革者:Madytos的Chrysanthos, Archimandrite，后来是dyrachium的大主教(今Durrës，阿尔巴尼亚)，Gregorios the Lampadarios和Protopsaltis of the Great Church，以及Chourmouzios，一位音乐教师，后来被授予档案管理员的官衔。主教会议给了他们所谓的新方法(以下简称为NM)一个正式的地位，并发布了一个通谕，邀请所有的牧师到君士坦丁堡学习这种方法。200年后，这本杂志的出版商们热爱音乐的心情也让我们来纪念这些人。虽然心态和诗歌习惯可能已经改变，但我们认为自己是这三位恩人的后代，因此我们也感到有责任尊敬他们。

The mainstream publishing establishment is under attack from multiple known and unknown forces. This is neither hyperbole nor fantasy. Many academics may believe that the main threat lies with “predatory” journals or publishers, but this is not necessarily the case because such entities are not always easy to distinguish clearly from veritable scholarly journals or publishers. Moreover, there is a gray zone that may involve both predatory and exploitative qualities. Current submission systems are not fail-safe because they allow unscholarly or fraudulent elements to register and abuse them, for example for submitting fake research or falsified peer reports, while author identification tools like ORCID are imperfect and provide a platform for similar-minded individuals to “validate” themselves. This toxic mix of tools aimed at fortifying integrity, while allowing fake authors to breed, currently without many, or any, ethical or legal repercussions will rapidly erode the entire publishing landscape if serious legal action is not taken. The creation of fake papers by fake authors will eventually trickle down into valid literature, by virtue of the fact that cited literature cannot be thoroughly vetted, even in peer review. The integrity of valid scholarly venues is thus at high risk unless suitable, strict and ethically and legally enforceable preventative measures are implemented.
