The blog RetractionWatch investigates accusations of problematic papers across scholarly disciplines and tracks superlatives like most retractions and retractions for Nobel Prize Winners. Posts are published daily on issues ranging from pla

Take it from an academic like me that peer review in just over a month is rare and a sign of low-quality editorial work at the journal (the exceptions would be the most open, progressive journals like PCI and similar). The formatting/s

They're blue because computer scientist Ben Schneiderman made them blue using research from 1985: " In 1985, a group of students at the University of Maryland, mentored by computer science professor Ben Shneiderman , conducted a s

I solved my RSI with rest, a vertical mouse, and ZSA Moonlanders. I eventually bought one for home use and one for work use with great performance for the past four years. I can’t imagine going back, especially after replacing the key switc

Sorry, but other academic researchers who have analyzed Langer’s work have found many problems invalidating her claims. These studies have not been independently reproduced and are ludicrous: https://statmodeling.stat.columbia.ed

I would like to point out for context that the author, Jordan Lasker, is a eugenist derided for shoddy science, falsely using university affiliations, and racist commentary. I do not write this to contradict particular claims in the article

Yes, a numerate population as assessed by national averages matters. A more numerate population reasons better about economic policies and may vote more wisely. Numeracy is closely tied to the ability to work in a variety of occupations. If

This is a great start to an evidence database. The next step should be adding evidence and contextual details explaining why each claim is true, perhaps in a table. A good model is here: https://www.college.police.uk/researc

Now let's see this timeline for how close we are to Harry Potter tech. In some ways, we're closing the gap.

I recently used this archive for a course paper and it only took 1-2 days of training and paperwork to get approved. I don't strictly need this archive anymore, but I recall when the federal layoffs were first being announced that staf

"Although darkness has long been associated with insecurity, the link remains speculative. I fill the gap by examining the effect of solar eclipses on political violence. Expanding on psychological theories, I hypothesize that eclipse-

Do you have a URL/citation for that? I'd like to use this quote in a paper.

I know someone working on a plugin for that currently.

Yep, but other issues are discussed too. Suspicion is warranted, though signs of errors and fraud require even deeper investigation.

Be careful interpreting this study summary. The article's peer reviews (on PubPeer) list a few analytic issues that call the findings into question: https://pubpeer.com/publications/59F515775D10D854ABB7F4B31D4...

Perfectly said. Before attempting to solve a problem, it's important to consider the lenses/perspectives and that facts that you'll see nails everywhere with your hammers. Peer review can be more structured, is already blinde

I'll wait for the Naya Create reviews (naya.tech). I need something more portable with a mouse integrated.

This may seem like bad news, but as a grad student studying evidence synthesis I can say that there is a silver lining here. The quality of studies in systematic inputs is low and even Cochrane's reviews have been critiqued for missing

Keep it up! Also, consider adding some data about sustainability (e.g. packaging materials, CO2 footprint, animal ethics, land use, etc.). I'd like to see this scale up.

Hold off on academia for now. Don't join until you work out your own identity difficulties. I'm with you. As an introvert, it can be tough to figure out how to build yourself instead of building for someone else. I'd say expl
