Disappointed in PLOS ONE. Why do they allow this statement, but fail to check if it is actually true?

I'm excited to share that our latest study, published in PLOS ONE, is now available!

In this research, we compare nonlinear regression models for analyzing transspinal evoked potential recruitment curves across different muscles. Our findings reveal muscle-dependent preferences and emphasize the reliability of specific models in parameters of physiological importance.

A new study has found that feelings of distress and a reduced ability to cope with stress are linked to traditional paranormal beliefs, while no such connection was observed for new age philosophies. Then the media found that word witchcraft in the research.

"Hérodote l'écrivait dans ses textes : les Scythes utilisaient autrefois la peau de leurs ennemis pour fabriquer des "trophées en cuir", tels que des étuis de carquois. Or, l'analyse d'anciens objets scythes semble aujourd'hui confirmer les légendes sur ces redoutables combattants des steppes de l'Antiquité."
L'étude, publiée dans PLOS One le 13, a été menée à partir d'objets retrouvés dans le sud de l'Ukraine.

I just browsed through the category #LibraryScience in @PLOS #PlosOne.

https://journals.plos.org/plosone/browse/library_science

It is basically useless, because it seems to simply list all articles where the keyword #catalogs is being used. I would classify only very few of the articles in this category as library-related.

I mean... no matter how much I support research on bottlenose dolphins in Reunion (https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0179780
) - that's not library science.

Were early societies dependent on climate? A new study published now in #PLOSONE shows connectivity between climate variability and societal changes in Central Europe 5500 to 3500 years ago: https://www.uni-kiel.de/en/details/news/257-plosone-demography For the study, the authors investigated developments in three regions of Central Europe on the basis of high data density and with high temporal resolution.

Is this an example for

"[]Anglo-Saxon words go no further than primitive folk-medicine. In classical words [] we have a system employed for more advanced medical conceptions."[p17]

or for

"[]A new word should not be used in place of a simple word in common use. Cephalalgia for headache is pedantry run wild."[p11]

Sorry, #PlosONE but when I make the effort to decline a review you have sent me that is completely outside my expertise, I don't want to log into #EditorialManager with a password I don't know and offer suggestions for other reviewers. Why cannot you just accept my decline when I click on the link in the e-mail? Now, you will have to wait 6 days for my invitation to expire. #changeyoursystem #academiclife
