🚨 New Methodology and Research Practice Perspective/Opinion, from Mark White & Roar Stovner: Breakdowns in Scientific Practices: How and Why Some Accepted Scientific Claims May Have Little Actual Support https://t.co/9Lj5DVnsG9
Academic hot take: requiring PhD students to publish a dissertation manuscript in a journal before they can graduate is pointless, cruel, and stressful for everyone involved. Please everyone stop doing this.
@steverathje2 Excellent work! I love the tutorial code and video.
You might be interested in an R package I wrote to simplify coding tasks with gpt, 'gptworkr'.
You probably have implemented something similar, but hey, it's interesting to see what other people do.

New journal reform just dropped. Greatly improves the efficiency of editorial decision-making, solves reviewer crisis. Bonus: entirely bias-free!

@Larerbloggen @SimonMalkenes PISA er dårlig egnet for å finne ut hva som påvirker skoleresultater. Den lille sammenhengen mellom mobilforbud og prestasjon i dataene kan enkelt forklares på andre måter; man kunne rett og slett fått disse resultatene også hvis mobilforbud gir bedre prestasjoner.
One interesting thing in the recent phonics trial, which also happened with an assessment for learning trial and a mindset trial, is the issue that we often want trials for phenomena that already have become popular and pervasive.

@hennif@raggismaggis Skriving kan være et fint tenkeverktøy, men for meg er det håpløst å benytte tenkeskriving for å lage et førsteutkast til en tekst. Bedre å skrive på nytt når jeg vet hva jeg vil formidle. Kommer de 1200 ordene til å være med i den endelige teksten?
@hennif Jeg vet dette er det motsatte av hva mange akademikere sier! @Inframethod sitt syn har påvirket meg mye og er flott sammenfattet på nettsiden hans: https://t.co/e3Eov5hPNH
@kimberlyquinn @SMirandaField All journals with open peer review I can think of publish author's responses. Are there many journals that only publish the reviews?
@JeffGreeneLearn @pdakean This new study seems so expensive that it might not be worth implementing at scale. But the previous Yeager et al. Nature paper describes an intervention that's practically free and helps some low-attaining students. That seems worthwhile.
1/n Okay, I've now seen multiple tweets lauding Clarivates newly released Impact Factors for specific journals. Can we just stop with the IF madness? There's so much wrong with focusing on these, and as scientists we should just reject them. Why?
Interesting outcome measure of schooling in this new field experiment. Schooling may increase capacity to stay concentrated for longer, and nonacademic games is as effective as math problems for this outcome. https://t.co/oKtka7GWY1
