Das Tool würde ich gerne demnächst ausprobieren. Gibt es noch mehr Bilder oder ein Video zum GUI? Wie ist denn die Datenstruktur im Tool, gibt es dort eine "offene" Datenbank in JSON, XML etc?

You can’t blame them (us). Research assessment, gift economy, scholarly metrics…
we(!) have told to ourselves that writing papers is everything for decades. AI is a wake-up call in many respects.

Das RKI Schild in Wernigerode hat mich in meinem Harzurlaub dann doch überrascht. Welchen historischen Grund gibt es denn dafür? Aber schön, das nicht immer alles in Berlin sein muss (kein hate, ich arbeite selbst in Berlin)

That’s the responsibility of an editor for all the appreciation they get! Oh wait…

Important finding and hint at what I argue for years: People are not stupid and they don't want to be considered stupid. But all the ELIF / "spare the details" - vibe does exactly that!

I've heard about this before as a strategy to attack scientific studies/results that you find unlikely, unpluasible or just inconvenient: theerrorbar.com?e=39 (podcast)

I don't know about all the nuances of the word "Annals" in English. But "Annalen" is a very big word in colloquial German which makes it quite entertaining when #predatoryJournals choose names like "Annals of Case Reports".

11 broad categories of peer review comments on bibliometric studies

I just reviewed the article 'Implicit reporting standards in bibliometric research: what can reviewers' comments tell us about reporting completeness?' by @dimitystephen.bsky.social and colleagues. I like the article a lot!

Article: arxiv.org/abs/2508.162...

Thank you for your review! I just learned about the @prereview.bsky.social platform. Creating an open peer review ecosystem makes sense to me. It fosters reception and interaction over the publish-and-forget culture...

APC waivers and Ukraine’s publishing output in Gold OA journals: Evidence from five commercial publishers

Just finished my @metaror.bsky.social journey – two rounds of #OpenPeerReview, valuable feedback, a stronger paper, and finally a journal submission. Open review takes time, but it’s worth every week for the transparency and trust it brings. doi.org/10.70744/Met... #OpenScience #Publishing

Feyerabend is always a great and entertaining read. But beware of his own errors and ‚perspectives‘. I heard that many of his historical analyses are not very well regarded among historians.

I just published my first paper on MetaROR (MetaResearch Open Review). The #PublishReviewCurate model brings reviewing and editorial decision making into the open.

To me, it can become a real game changer in #ScholarlyCommunication. I got great reviews and look forward to revise my manuscript!

This is a great piece addressing an important question. I‘d imagine that peer review for software might be different from one for (shorter) code as purposes are slightly different. Software must be functional and reliable, code must be correct with respect to a particular purpose. Though, it‘s fuzzy

That’s a good article but introducing decades of research about the problems of JIFs with „Critics say that…“ is a bit disappointing.

For example, check the work on knowledge channels that shows how seemingly irrelevant knowledge shapes the way how researchers and inventors think. Put otherwise, even some firms hire basic scientists to build absorptive capacity.

Sociology of science has shown us how the idea of a linear innovation (research x has impact y on society) represents only a fraction of human intellectual activity. Thus, SoS tells us that the very question for „any advances“ is misleading.

Let's develop a theory about how methodological developments in research are motivated by the evergrowing urge to not leave the lab and not having social interactions.

Haha, this Springer certificate for #PeerReview is cute. However, I haven't found out where to put my IBAN... 🧐

I am in the final phase of editing my dissertation and wonder if I should add

- [ ] decrease amount of references to Ioannidis' papers

to the editing todo list. And yes, citation is politics!

We all have such anecdotes. But I am still curious about the causal relationship. Accepting or rejecting a paper can depend on so many different factors and impressions.

I just learned that there the R package "wakefield" to generate random data. We could make a RFK package to randomly retract studies?!
