“…12 In addition, as publish or perish lies at the root of academic advancement, the pressure to publish can "harm the quality of life of researchers, decreasing their satisfaction and undermining creativity." 13 It can be concluded that this indicator conflicts with SDG 4.…”

This article is an attempt to facilitate the implementation of sustainable development goals (SDGs) by encouraging adjustments in international university ranking systems as influential players in the field of higher education. To this end, the current shortcomings of global ranking systems are delineated and suggestions are provided to help with the revision of current rankings and adaptation of a new approach without encouraging further proliferation of ranking systems. The new approach is suggested to promote educational quality but also equity, equality, diversity, and sustainability in line with the aims and aspirations of the Agenda 2030 for sustainable development.

“…This is related to the growing concentration of commercial publishing houses, which enhances their ability to exploit both the 'publish or perish' imperative of career-oriented scholars (and their current or future university employers) and the need of scientists to access the latest scientific output (Broad 1981; Association of Research Libraries 1998; Bauerlein et al 2010;Herndon 2016). The profitability of journal publishing and the need for authors to publish something somewhere have contributed to an increase in journal numbers, salami-sliced research reports, poor science and unethical editorial practices intended to boost profits (on predatory publishing, see Beall 2015).…”

This article begins with a brief review of research on the development of ideas about the knowledge-based economy (analysed here as 'economic imaginaries') and their influence on how social forces within and beyond the academy have attempted to reorganize higher education and research in response to real and perceived challenges and crises in the capitalist order since the mid-1970s. This provides the historical context for three 'thought experiments' about other aspects of the development of academic capitalism. The first involves a reductio ad absurdum argument about different potential steps in the economization, marketization and financialization of education and research and is illustrated from recent changes in higher education. The second maps actual strategies of the entrepreneurial university and their role in shaping academic capitalism. The third speculates on possible forms of 'political' academic capitalism and their changing places in the interstices of the other trends posited in these thought experiments. The article ends with suggestions for a research agendum that goes beyond thought experiments to substantive empirical investigations.

“…Data fabrication refers to actually creating fake data sets and results and presenting them as true findings. Related to this is data falsification, altering data to get publishable results, both of which undermine the integrity of the entire review and publication process [11]. "Pruning and massaging" can be undertaken through the use of inappropriate methods of data analysis, the (tacit) exclusion of outliers in data analysis [12].…”
