Statistically non significant results often have THE MOST theoretical significance!

This implicit bias means humanity has lost decades of knowledge because researchers are artificially bound to the p>.05 standard. https://t.co/9KW9S8zwJ6 @OpenAcademics @PhDVoice

Thank you teachers! You deserve the world because you make it a better place. #TeachersDay2021

The papers look real. And yet they're completely bonkers.

Had a dream that @POTUS honored his #CampaignPromise to at least partially #CancelStudentDebt for everyone. But now "I am woke." #WeVote Millions of us.

@Mabdinoor72 @jenheemstra It should be. And with publish or perish—intellectual discussion can lead to conflict of interest over who gets credit for an idea. It can be a tough balancing act especially for junior faculty

[ABLE Research @ABLEResearch]

@Mabdinoor72 @PhDVoice PhD candidates need to understand: faculty don’t get promoted because they read your dissertation and gave great feedback. In a publish or perish world—dissertations will always be the last priority of faculty

@ThatAnnaMarie ABLE PROVERB: You don’t finish a PhD. PhD programs decide when they are finished with you

@jenheemstra Academic bullying hurts researchers and is counterproductive to human advancement! But academic bullying is also a biproduct of publish or perish. There is currently no incentive for faculty to address bullying by the ppl who will decide their tenure.

@Academiology2 @hannahtiernan1 @OpenAcademics @PhDVoice Also the advice of “only publish recent articles” ignores the fact that it often takes a year plus to get a article to be accepted for publication. Keep telling your students relevancy > recency

[Dr Hannah Tiernan @hannahtiernan1]

When referencing a paper, what is classified as ‘recent’ in your opinion? One year? Five years? (This is a field with a long history) @OpenAcademics @PhDVoice #AcademicChatter

[ABLE Research @ABLEResearch]

@hannahtiernan1 @OpenAcademics @PhDVoice We think the idea of “recent references” is a flawed concept. Is a paper that is published in 2021, but used data from the year 2011 recent? The paper is based on decade old data, yet most would call it “new research”

Relevant > recent is our motto

[Dr. Anthony Betancourt @ABetancourtPhD]

Relevant > Recent

HOT RESEARCH TAKE: I don’t trust researchers, editors, professors, or scientists who insist on “recent articles” over relevant articles.

Homelessness is an educational confound. It impacts standardized test scores, school performance, attendance, and graduation rates.

“There is currently no incentive for faculty to address bullying by the ppl who will decide their tenure.”

People incorrectly think bullying ends at after reaching adult age. If only...

COVID-19 in the USA is a partial result of a K-12 education system that teaches kids how to find the angles of a parallelogram but not how to interpret a basic graph! @OpenAcademics @AcademicChatter

@StefanoZucca5 @wellcometrust @PhDVoice @PostdocVoice Bullying in academia—from the graduate student all the way to tenure seeking—is damaging, impacts TOO MANY ppl, and is counterproductive for the advancement of science!

We must not be silent!

PS: wherever there is academic bullying, racism is close by

@MyLabbe * your committee

[ABLE Research @ABLEResearch]

@MyLabbe Re-read the comments your commute made on your last dissertation draft. Their initial questions will be about how you addressed their “concerns”.

Good luck, we wish you well!

[Dr. Anthony Betancourt @ABetancourtPhD]

Will Smith is giving academics a great lesson: Great ideas are useless if you cannot CLEARLY explain them!
