@laurameme @lianda_edu i get what you're saying but corpus studies tell us lang. is more formulaic than ppl think. i also like to see my non native-speaking colleagues have the playing field leveled for them (avoid paying absurd editing fees)

[JoeVittaTESOL @JTesol]

@laurameme @lianda_edu no one is saying we should submit ai-generated slop. but the tool is invaluable for editing language and making text clearer - this is especially true for L2 English academics.

[Hayashi Heikichi @lianda_edu]

Every publisher should ban the use of statistical software like Stata, R, SPSS, etc.! These tools have greatly facilitated academic misconduct such as p-hacking. Scholars should calculate the coefficients, standard errors, and t-statistics themselves using calculators. This would force them to truly engage in empirical work and raise the cost of p-hacking!

@DrCrosthwaite @MizumotoAtsushi So - while I get that people are gaming the system (journal and indiv. levels), there is an argument for such a system to be in place - system just needs tweaking.

[JoeVittaTESOL @JTesol]

@DrCrosthwaite @MizumotoAtsushi where full professors have like 2 scopus papers in their 60s yet still teach phd students

Kanto-based colleagues. My program is hiring. Those meeting the stated qualifications who can teach Tuesday / Friday per 1 are especially welcome to apply.

@DrCrosthwaite @mrkm_a it is interesting though -- from my recent AE assignment, there are a lot of ppl who refuse to review despite actively publishing. (no one in my/our circle appears to fall into this category though :) )

[JoeVittaTESOL @JTesol]

@DrCrosthwaite @mrkm_a fully agree and the stepwise driven stuff with lex soph. has had its issues and models including BNC fiction range and COCA (all subcorpora) range are not really reflecting a coherent theory IMHO. with that said,
I get that LLMs can change the 'game' in ways SPSS can't!

[JoeVittaTESOL @JTesol]

@DrCrosthwaite @mrkm_a probably not - but machine learning and related stepwise regression modeling (say lexical sophistication/complexity stuff from last decade) have generated theory for the field before - so it's not completely without precedent.

[JoeVittaTESOL @JTesol]

@p41697538 @LocasaleLab the best research in the USA is done by large R1 public uni's -- this is not hard to prove.

@davidasinclair the best is when you show someone that parametric effect sizes, CIs, and p values can be determined from test stats and n sizes
