Curious: why the choice of YouTube after a long time using Bluesky?

Weirdly, that happened without much coverage of it. When I used Twitter, LinkedIn was in the background and cut off from my academic activities. Now it's very much in the foreground!

The Modular Peer Review Working Group we co-organized with @continuous.foundation kicks off in January, 2026!

🚀 Join the cohort shaping how we review modular research outputs like data, code, methods, and visuals.

The advantage of having an established user base... I suspect that many academics who left Twitter just resurrected their LinkedIn accounts instead of making Bluesky accounts.

Single-blade razors are catching on with younger folks.

Much easier to check out embarrassing items without human judgment.

I like this assistant by NC3Rs: eda.nc3rs.org.uk/node/358

I saw a student submission with seven em dashes in one brief report. You betcha I was flagging that for the instructor to review.

Can you elaborate? What did you discuss as undergrads? How far into the analyses did you get?

Truer words have never been uttered. Prediction: doomscrolling RetractionWatch undermines mental health.

Will do. Curious to know the % of people (publishing researchers) who view their Altmetrics Score AND discussions (concrete posts)... Predicting very few...

Altmetrics provides that data, but I was interpreting the quote above differently. I mean that as discussions unfold, without users' needing to do much work, they should be given summaries somewhere of discussion (not just the Altmetrics Explorer feed).

I acknowledge that my position is radical.

Not sure, but holiday season and volunteer moderators may make it tough. I like to monitor daily and post again in a more neutral way if it didn't make it through. The user experience could certainly be better, yes. In the meantime, it's a good opportunity to try: paperstars.org .

From the people who brought you Dishonesty scholar is dishonest in their lab, here's Ethics scholar fakes references in ethics journal.

Scholarly publishing is both comedy and tragedy.

Published in 2015, but still true.

"Currently there is no mechanism for an author to be alerted to discussions of his or her article on social media."

"The key goal... involve the entire community - authors,editors, and the target audience...

A few days, max. But moderators can be swamped, so give it another shot at the end of the week. Sometimes, comments are erroneously marked for deletion and sometimes spicier comments are approved.

If rejected, no it doesn't say "awaiting moderation" forever.
If approved, I have never been notified.

If bluesky and Twitter have taught me anything, it's that every discipline is the worst at analyzing data, except for all the others.

Can you describe the flavor of open peer review at R2 more?

Internships that request papers in top venues are truly my biggest gripe during application season.

Am I going to play your dumb game or build something special myself? Hmm... I wonder...

Who argues this outside of digital humanities?

Is this satire?

#ResearchIntegrity also works. I like SciComment too. I find the critical posts from this Bluesky List helpful.

Incidentally, I'm tackling the same issue for my upcoming dissertation. I belive the key lies in create a special evidence synthesis ecosystem divorced from traditional scicomm.

@joelchan86.bsky.social is working on infrastructure that could support these reviews.

Overall, I'm enthusiastic to use this kind of artefact to drive the development of scholar-owned publishing platforms.

I've been using tools like Claude Code for AI-assisted coding lately, but always with an eye on what is being done.

The results are genuinely impressive, but each tool requires special care.

If you're using Google Antigravity, airgap it to avoid file deletions.

Careful not to just comic-ify them with Nano Banana Pro.

I would love to take that course or get a peek into course materials! This would be so informative. I'm learning Bayesian and info-theoretic perspectives (GORICA) this winter.
