@ajordannafa It’s the paradox of “novelty” within confirmatory research methods that baffles me. Exploratory research needs to be proud on being exploratory; instead of the current weird mix of exploratory dressing up as conformity.

@MorrisCraig_ @CarlWoods25 Congratulations @MorrisCraig_ , looking forwards to giving it a read

For any social science and humanities researchers wanting to upskill and expand their analysis toolbox, this is a great opportunity

[Rhys Davies @RhysMaredudd]

Great to see retired athlete support being promoted.

If you are a retired athlete, and want to discuss your own experiences for research with the University of Edinburgh, please follow this link: https://t.co/FwnQO8yb1h

@uk_sport @UKSportsInst @GBEliteAthletes For any former athletes that wish to discuss their mental health experiences of retiring for research, we are currently recruiting for a PhD study with the University of Edinburgh: https://t.co/FwnQO8yb1h

@cat_gaglianone Not at all a textbook, but I find Stack Exchange to be a great source of discussion about the use of statistics in research methods (the best posts will include references to the articles/textbooks used to inform their rationale).

@LSEImpactBlog As a follow up - is it ethical to use AI if you can’t tell whether or not the AI itself is plagiarising the work of others?

@TheStrugglingS4 Honestly, I think we need to be comfortable in publishing exploratory research; and justifying its value in providing scope for novelty. The current system demands the oxymoron of publishing confirmatory yet novel research… bad practice is the main way around it.

[Rhys Davies @RhysMaredudd]

@AcademicChatter Self-funding a PhD,and living off tutoring wages, whilst trying to be productive… is soul crushing.

[Academic Chatter™ @AcademicChatter]

Paying PhD students would go some way to improving their mental health.
