Methodologists' theoretical papers: "you MUST do X or your estimates are meaningless."

Methodologists' empirical papers: [does not do X]

What was the prompt and technique?

Here, I'd try asking Claude to write a Python script to extract the data from the PowerBI dashboard (hope I understood the context of your message properly) without modifying the underlying data.

Exponential increase with 2-3 million papers/year published. Bornmann is a good source for this kind of thing.

I think I might have sprung forward a little too much.

The surname of the author is Chrimes. So crimes! Nice detail.

Portrait of Lise Meitner taken in 1928. She is smoking a cigarette and looking impatient to get back to her experiments.

Last week, I mentioned this in passing in a workshop:

In 1938 Enrico Fermi won a Nobel Prize for discovering two new elements of the periodic table.

Lise Meitner shortly showed that Fermi was mistaken and instead had produced known lighter elements by fission.

She did not win a Nobel prize.

statistics and individual tables + figures update as one gets new data from a pipeline (e.g. how live stock prices update in news articles)

trying out a new feature, lmk if it works

And it’s more for stylistic suggestions instead of substantive ones

low-level edits, not full and standalone review

ngl Copilot in Word is far more useful than I originally thought. It's a great way to break down my attachment to certain writing and power through a swamp of low-level edits quickly.

Consider it for polishing things up before submission.

Qualitative researchers, have you used any automated tools for evaluating research (micro tasks or full-blown peer review)?

--dangerously skip international law

Here's a nice indictment of the modern publishing system and a solution.

But surely the next generation will not have to find such limiting workarounds?

Ah, not sure then if you have other institutional emails.

Ultimate self-citation here. Can't be beat. 💤💤💤💤💤

Srinivasa Ramanujan - Wikipedia

And Ramanujan too was inspired to do proofs in dreams.

You the new Mendeleev. Just saw that's what happened, man. If nervous, end with that story instead of starting with it. But do include it in the paper to help shift scholarly writing.

With sentiment analysis too?

It's the kind of rabbit hole that keeps on rewarding users.

I clicked Create an Account on top right, then Signed Registration and completed steps. Verified myself with a publication URL/DOI, then email verification.

Apparently, it takes two days to verify me manually. Then I will be able to post a comment and click Signed User (see image with red box

I'll try it with my ug students in class later this week!

It's a neat chart, but I wonder if we'd appreciate the simpler version just as much. Worth exploring redesigns?

The formation of a theoretical insight is special, abstracting from data to a generalization application across contexts. It's often quiet and solitary.

chee-squared is my fav student response despite my attempts to correct them in lectures/labs

No holes, it's a low-hanging fruit to pick. And soliciting more critiques is also worthwhile.

One of the most deflating aspects of metascience discourse in the past decade and a half has therefore been that the sentiment after a prominent failed replication study generally is: "Another area that's garbage & not worth studying" instead of asking "Interesting but what if we did..." questions.
