Had to see for myself. Shared by @smutclyde.bsky.social, published in Nature Scientific Reports (like PLOS One, peer-reviewed [!] for soundness, not importance). The article is about AI-based autism diagnosis. Article processing charge: $2690. AI slop science: priceless

Publishing research data is becoming common. Research data is an important research output.
But finding outputs other than traditional articles is still not easy.
We're looking into how we, as a university library, can find different outputs created by KTH researchers.

arXiv will no longer accept review articles and position papers unless they have been accepted at a journal or a conference and complete successful peer review.

This is due to being overwhelmed by a hundreds of AI generated papers a month.

We have progressed from data collection to data analysis.

Widespread image reuse, manipulation uncovered in animal studies of brain injury One of the papers in the analysis contained a figure (bottom) found to have overlap with other work by the same author (top). Both papers have been retracted. Annotated images: PubPeer More than 20…

The problems were so pervasive they abandoned their review and instead began investigating how widespread image duplication was in their field.

Open-Source and FAIR Research Software for Proteomics Scientific discovery relies on innovative software as much as experimental methods, especially in proteomics, where computational tools are essential for mass spectrometer setup, data analysis, and interpretation. Since the introduction of SEQUEST, proteomics software has grown into a complex ecosystem of algorithms, predictive models, and workflows, but the field faces challenges, including the increasing complexity of mass spectrometry data, limited reproducibility due to proprietary software, and difficulties integrating with other omics disciplines. Closed-source, platform-specific tools exacerbate these issues by restricting innovation, creating inefficiencies, and imposing hidden costs on the community. Open-source software (OSS), aligned with the FAIR Principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable), offers a solution by promoting transparency, reproducibility, and community-driven development, which fosters collaboration and continuous improvement. In this manuscript, we explore the role of OSS in computational proteomics, its alignment with FAIR principles, and its potential to address challenges related to licensing, distribution, and standardization. Drawing on lessons from other omics fields, we present a vision for a future where OSS and FAIR principles underpin a transparent, accessible, and innovative proteomics community.

How much of a difference does openess make? Not an easy question to answer, but this preprint analyzing the data from the French open science monitor indicates that open science practices really can improve the reach and the impact of your research! #openscience #opensciencemonitoring

I interpret it as some studies have the outcome as their primary outcome for their study, whilst other, different studies include it as a secondary outcome (and thus have adifferent primary outcome variable that they study)

Danish department determined to dump Microsoft Comment: Jutes revolt against Redmond: Minister for Digital Affairs aims the longboats away from Vinland

Denmark’s Ministry for Digitalization is looking to get off Microsoft products by the end of the year, starting with the adoption of LibreOffice. It follows similar moves by Copenhagen and Aarhus.

If you use R, you could make it a shiny and just render it and host it online. Either on your own or using something like shinyapps.io
Plus then it could be interactive as well.
