🧵 1/ 🚨 New paper out in PLOS ONE! w/ @caropradier.bsky.social @benzpierre.bsky.social @natsush.bsky.social @ipoga.bsky.social @lariviev.bsky.social We studied 43k authors and 264k citation links in U.S. economics to ask: 👉 Why do some papers cite others? 🔗 journals.plos.org/plosone/arti...

📢 New reviewed preprint, published by @elife.bsky.social at doi.org/10.7554/eLif.... We study two effects in science funding across 14 different funding programmes from 6 research funders across Europe and North America: (1) The Matthew effect; and (2) and the early-career setback effect. 🧵1/8

Is anyone else getting a peculiar email about retracting articles from "Pakistan Journal of Life and Social Sciences"?

My colleagues and I have been sharing blogs and news about a survey we did on how researchers use generative AI - that study is now published and openly available here: doi.org/10.1016/j.te...

Yup

Added context, since polls can only be very short: It seems like a somewhat standard practice now, that editors create reviewer accounts without consent or contact, as a service, so the potential reviewer doesn't have to do it themself. It used to be the opposite. #peerreview #reviewer2

Journal editors create reviewer accounts automatically, with username and password, without prior consent. What are your thoughts on this? 1️⃣ It's a great service, it saves me some hassle. 2️⃣ I don't really care. 3️⃣ It feels icky and predatory. 📊 Show results

Young researchers have embraced AI as an accelerator of their work. If that is to help science rather than damage it, they need careful guidance, say Jens Peter Andersen @ipoga.bsky.social and Serge Horbach. www.researchprofessionalnews.com/rr-news-euro...

New paper out with @benzpierre.bsky.social @kristofferkropp.bsky.social and Trine Cosmus Nobel in a special issue on Mapping relational structures in culture

it's amazing to have my first post in this social media to share this great paper we just published, lead by @caropradier.bsky.social on topics, local circuits and gender inequality in Latin America.

What is disruption in science? I am looking for a prospective PhD student to study disruption theoretically, qualitatively and quantitatively at Aarhus University. If you are interested in developing your own project under our open call, in collaboration with me, please get in touch.

Updated -largely no exhaustive- list : go.bsky.app/R8RNJgc Please reply to be added.

With all the new influx of users, I’d love to see a community around #sciencepolicy #scipol #bibliometrics #scientometrics #scisci #metascience. Please share if you want to be part of it, use the tags to find others, or just say hi 👋

Interested in writing a PhD in the broad area of “research on research” (responsible research, research integrity, bibliometrics, scientometrics, science funding, research policy, etc.)? We (@cfa_res_pol) have fully funded positions every 6 months: bss.au.dk/en/research/...

The Christian implications of God creating mankind and our Earth, without a mention of other worlds or life in the vastness of the Universe is historically meaningful, but to me, philosophically sorrowful. And as Carl Sagan (in Pale Blue Dot) goes on to argue, grounds for much chauvinism.

😂

A little teaser of my forthcoming paper - co-authored with a former Aarhus University student, Freja 🤞🤓 Hope it will be published early next year. www.ru.nl/en/research/...

Highly interesting study from the ScholCommLab on how much funding is spent on APCs at the Big 5 journal publishers. It’s a lot, it mostly goes to Springer-Nature and especially Scientific Reports and Nature Communications: direct.mit.edu/qss/article/...

Tomorrow at the Interacting Minds Center, Aarhus University, we are delighted to host Ophelia Deroy and Bahador Bahrami. Two talks, starting at 11 am. You can even join online. See the link below for talk abstracts & online participation: interactingminds.au.dk/events/singl...

I currently have two PhD opportunities available. One is on early EF dev in children born preterm, the other is on the association between attention and early EF dev. Please share or get in touch if interested :-) www.findaphd.com/phds/project... www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

Just published this preprint with Tony Ross-Hellauer and Serge Horbach on the special "contributed" article type in PNAS and it's utilisation by NAS members. Open for comments, if anyone has thoughts: osf.io/preprints/so...

New preprint finds MANY influential papers are in journals with Impact Factor <15. ~10✖ more researchers have highly influential papers than publish journals with Impact Factor >15. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Something rotten in the state of Denmark…

Still in a state of shock over that the concept of explained variance in multilevel models is ill-defined, even if the paper making this point very clearly is almost 30 years old! 🤯 #sociology journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Hey fyi I published another article in Social Science & Medicine, here's the open access link: doi.org/10.1016/j.so..., screenshots below, and now you need to cite this article please.

How do we integrate prior beliefs with new experiences to guide metacognitive self-knowledge? psyarxiv.com/knsb4/ A brief 🧵 on our recent preprint👇, in which we found that this capacity for integrating different sources of uncertainty is highly domain specific. #psychscisky 🧠🤖 🧠🟦

NEW PUBLICATION.. ..in which fuse negative campaigning and party issue competition & hatch a new+stronger model of party behavior in parliament between elections. 1/

Different meanings of "merit": What do elites actually mean when they justify their status with merit? Drawing on interviews in DK and the UK, @samfriedman.bsky.social et al. distinguish UK Talent Meritocrats from Danish Hard Work Meritocrats. This is right down my alley! doi.org/10.1093/sf/s...

🎤 New preprint: "Natural Experiments for Sociological Research" osf.io/preprints/so... In which I review natural experimental designs, their advantages and disadvantages in sociology with a hand-on example. Comments more than welcome.

Prepreprint! Family language strategies (e.g. one-parent-one-language) don't explain kids' language exposure, but individual parents' approaches (i.e., using a lang. regularly/sometimes/never) do! Mothers' effect on exposure was 2x fathers' --> gendered caregiving roles. psyarxiv.com/x4jbm/

In addition to running pools, one of the best things you can do is gratuitously repost people’s paper tweets and other content. Especially newer accounts. It adds an important incentive to leave X behind.

The US News and World Report just released their annual College Rankings — and you should ignore them. A reminder that last year their "Chief Data Strategist" somehow admitted in public that every year they screw around with the ranking algorithm until it gives results they like. Source: WSJ.
