Authorship clarification & official channels — Xavier Vinaixa
Where I publish, what is official and what is not. A response to the republication of one of my articles without my authorization.
My commitment to science
My work, both technical and in science communication, is grounded in a firm commitment to science, rigor and honesty, and in the fight against anti-intellectualism and pseudoscience. I stand for verifiable knowledge, well-sourced claims and critical thinking in everything I publish.
Official publishing channels
I publish my writing exclusively on xaviviro.com and my newsletter xaviviro.substack.com. Academic work appears on Zenodo, OSF and ORCID (0009-0005-2769-9215), always linked from this website. Any text signed under my name elsewhere is a republication, and is only legitimate if it is linked from here. I do not hand articles to third parties, nor do I authorize my name to be associated with any organization without my express consent.
Unauthorized republication on inh.cat
On 29 April 2026, the website inh.cat (Institut Nova Història) republished, under my byline and without my authorization, my article “El veritable origen de la diada de Sant Jordi”, originally published on my Substack. I did not grant permission for this republication and I have requested its removal.
I have no affiliation, collaboration or relationship with that organization. The presence of my name on their website does not imply any endorsement on my part of the organization or its editorial line. Given my commitment to scientific rigor and against anti-intellectualism, I consider it especially serious that my name and my work appear associated, without my consent, with an organization whose approach I do not share. This clarification is the official source on the matter.
