Those who identify as Republican in the U.S. had declining trust in science since 2010. Recently those who identify as Moderate also show declining trust. Let's push for more rigorous, transparent and ethical scientific practices. #openscience #transparency #reproducibility osf.io/preprints/so...

The Infographic and Video generation tools in #NotebookLM are pretty amazing. Not meant to be self-promotion, but just what came out from a recent paper I uploaded. A helpful tool to just get some fresh ideas, or possibly plan a poster. #GenAI

For personal reasons, I do not support Elsevier (thecostofknowledge.com). It can be difficult to explain / say 'no' to colleagues seeking our support. Therefore, I created a template to respectfully decline: crowdid.hypotheses.org/1990. #openscience #smashthepaywalls

I'm starting to believe that LinkedIn is the future of scientific social media

I now add QR codes presentation slides for citations. It occurred to me I can embed a link in the QR code image, so users can access the URL by clicking too (rather than adding another link somewhere else on the slide). Winnie the Pooh would call this #afishinthesea

If you miss 'Wordle' (the website that made word clouds before the daily puzzle game 'Wordle' was invented), you can use my app to generate them. nate-breznau.shinyapps.io/word-cloud/ It is a forked and tuned version of Antoine Soetewey's original app. github.com/nbreznau/wor...

I really get a kick out of using Gen AI sometimes. I'm preparing several talks for my six week Japan tour on topics of #openscience #theoriesasdata #metascience, and this came up in my preparations.

ChatGPT - [outputs various large pictures of an historical figure I am researching] Me - "are those pictures in the public domain?" ChatGPT - "no. you should not use them" Me - "why do you get to use them?" ChatGPT - "they are the same as internet search result thumbnails" Me - facepalm

Using Gen AI to produce knowledge carries long-term risks because it can lead to 'model collapse' - where the data used to train new Gen AI systems is increasingly a product of AI rather than humans. Knowledge and practical functions of AI collapse because semantic meaning is no longer human-based.

Are we really transparent? Are we really sharing every decision in our research workflow that influenced design and/or results? #openscience #reproducbility #questionableresearchpractices crowdid.hypotheses.org/1822 @openedition.bsky.social

The billions of research funds channeled into the pockets of Elsevier and other commercial publisher in return for very little actual value is one of academia's big inefficiencies that will eventually be replaced by more attractive Community-run alternatives

Dear potential authors. The purpose of #SocArXiv (like any preprint server) is to offer green open access and early dissemination of ongoing scientific work. It is not a place to hack citations or submit garbage that is unpublishable and/or AI written. @socarxiv.bsky.social #openscience

It's easy for some of you to just never use LLMs and just criticize people who do. I would like to be in that situation. But here I am, with my moderator volunteers, assessing hundreds of papers submitted to @socarxiv.bsky.social, trying to decide how to fairly judge whether to accept them. /1

I tried to decline a review from an Elsevier journal & could not successfully decline without following a link on self-reporting my data & allowing 3rd-party cookies. Reminder why I will remain committed to not reviewing for Evilsevere unless they adopt science-positive and #openscience practices.

The #PIAAC is an incredible survey in many ways, not least that they did not successfully survey a single person from Bulgaria out of 4,793 respondents in Germany in Cycle 2 (2022/23). @oecd-ocde.bsky.social @gesis.org. In fairness less than 1% of the German population is born in Bulgaria.

Next time an institution tells you how seriously it takes research misconduct, ask them if it's *this* seriously. www.bmj.com/content/297/...

I do not feel right to claim moral authority in matters of inequality, governance, welfare, gender, race etc. I have my own position derived from career working with soc & behavioral science. Not everyone shares my positions & views, and I want to accept that.
