Post-mandate, I've been submitting to closed access journals and getting OA on the side for free due to the mandate. Pre-mandate, I only submitted to paid OA journals, and paid ~ $3k each time for it. The article claims the solution i

The article's discussion of how the open access mandate works is wrong. Federally funded research, when published (even in a closed-access journal) must be deposited in https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/ or a similar repo

Is the goal to get rid of the journals or ensure open access? Because the US already has open access mandates for federally funded research. Immediate and without embargo. https://www.lib.iastate.edu/news/upcoming-pu

Evaluating a function using a densely spaced grid and plotting it does work. This is brute-force search. You will see the global minima immediately in the way you describe, provided your grid is dense enough to capture all local variation

True, but the RF coils do get turned on & off. Heating of non-magnetic metal from the radio waves used for scanning is another concern, not just magnetic force.

Even extremely privacy-conscious authors could submit their paper to the service at the same time they publish their preprint v1, then if the service's feedback is useful, publish preprint v2 and submit v2 as the version of record.

Industry research is generally R&D (applied science, engineering research), not basic research (basic science). Not to disparage either; both are needed, but they are quite different and a person may be suited to one but not the other.

Multiple comparisons and sequential hypothesis testing / early stopping aren't the same problem. There might be a way to wrangle an F test into a sequential hypothesis testing approach, but it's not obvious (to me anyway) ho

Once something has a predictable ROI (can be productized and sold), profit seekers will find a way. The role of publicly funded research is to get ideas that are not immediately profitable to the stage that investors can take over. Public

The median sample size of the studies subjected to replication was n = 5 specimens ( https://osf.io/atkd7 ). Probably because only protocols with an estimated cost less than BRL 5,000 (around USD 1,300 at the time) per repli

I can confirm that some (30%?) mechanical and biomedical engineers follow the described problem "solving" strategy exactly. It's not just software engineers.

Securing the funding often means writing a research plan that is interesting and convincing enough to be selected for funding in a competitive review process (80–97% rejection rate). The plan usually represents a substantial intellectual c

The upvote and downvote buttons are a couple millimeters apart on mobile and there's no feedback (that I've noticed, anyway) regarding which one you've pressed. There's probably a lot of accidental voting.

Right, "sharing" here must mean DNA that was cloned from the same ancestral DNA strand, not merely that it shares the same informational content. I got lost in the analogies that frame things in terms of what's "better&

Based on the information I found, the % difference between two randoms humans in terms of base pairs (including non-coding DNA) is even less than the difference in terms of genes, so the distinction does not materially alter the discussion.

The concept of indirect fitness must be more complicated than explained here. The article explains it as a worker bee sharing 75% of her genes with her sisters, but only 50% with a child, so there is selection pressure for workers to be st

The usual approach is to provide grants for something else that the municipality wants/needs, but make them conditional on the municipality acting in the desired manner.

In my opinion, archive the data that was actually gathered and the code's intermediate & final outputs. Write the code clearly enough that what it did can be understood by reading it alone, since with pervasive software churn it w
