“NISO is not associated in any way with the said handle, and the individuals or entities managing it are unknown to the organisation and have no affiliation with NISO.

“Accordingly, the public and media organisations are advised not to quote, reference, or attribute any information, statements, or opinions published on the said handle to NISO, as such content does not reflect the position, operations, or activities of the organisation,” it added in a statement.
