A note on the nomenclatural representation of plant transcription factors, and deviations thereof

Plant transcription factors (TFs) are integral proteins associated with gene transcription. That ability arises after TFs bind to specific DNA sequences, such as promoters, responding positively or negatively to a multitude of endogenous and exogenous factors or stressors. For this reason, in plants, the vast majority of TFs are associated with growth, development, and responses to biotic and abiotic stresses. As is commonly known, the genes coding for TFs are written in uppercase italics, whereas the resulting proteins are written in lowercase, such as OsWRKY28 and OsWRKY28, respectively for a member of the WRKY TF family in rice (Oryza sativa L.). However, despite the existence of some conventions for the nomenclature of TFs, some deviation from these norms has been observed in the literature. Several cases are highlighted, primarily related to NAC TFs. These cases emphasize the need for stricter quality control of literature pertaining to the nomenclature of plant TFs.

Critical assessment of a cancer/oncology journal that suddenly ceased publication: Journal of the Balkan Union of Oncology

This article provides a brief historical overview of a now-shuttered open access cancer/oncology journal, Journal of the Balkan Union of Oncology (JBUON), whose metrics peaked with a 2020 Clarivate Analytics journal impact factor of 2.533. JBUON suddenly ceased publication in December 2021. The scrutiny of JBUON papers of this PubMed-indexed journal at the post-publication website PubPeer revealed a myriad of ethical infractions and the likely association with paper mills. In addition to troubling information about JBUON’s publishing operations, this paper emphasizes the opaque manipulation of the content of an unknown number of papers, a procedure that is considered unscholarly, dishonest, or even predatory. The fatal publishing errors and mismanagement of this journal that led to its demise serve as a useful learning curve for other cancer/oncology journals that may feel tempted to manipulate the scholarly record, either to “save face” or give the impression of an error-free publication record.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
