#AIMOS2020 deadline for workshop, unconference, hackathon, and poster submissions closes this Thursday. Get on it! And see you there: https://t.co/Q1K0XH7FUm
.@IREEJournal provides incentive for the publication of replication studies so that replicating authors can gain credit for their important contribution to empirical research in economics; Peer-Reviewed - #OA - No author fees. Since 2017 #LiBER2020
The overload is real (and has been for 25 years, really...) "The coronavirus pandemic now presents an extra challenge: There are far more papers than anyone could ever read." https://t.co/bHDlF45L8d
ADVICE for ECRs:
Attend lots of conferences
Don't collaborate with anyone you don't like
Do good slow science
Collaborate with people different to you for balance
Be genuine
Don't reject yourself, let them do it
Teaching is fun and rewarding
Remember why you started

The seems to be a narrowing of what is cited concomitant with the rise of digital search tools. We need to be wary of these biases, lest we create filter bubbles in science @jevinwest#AIMOS2019
I am getting back on the #xaringan horse... so far I mostly just have a title slide, but its quite nice. Who wants to come to Melbourne next week and learn #rstats with me at @AIMOS2019 ? Register here https://t.co/0bGSPnxGRZ
The lesson here is not merely that a piece of research code had a bug that led to operating-system-dependent results, but that PUBLISHING THE CODE led to discovery of the problem https://t.co/s8EYYNN3sP #Reproducibility

I've occasionally had grad students who seem to think cleaning and doing all the nitty gritty of data collection and analysis is beneath them. Completely wrong, data collection, cleaning, and analysis is usually >75% of my time on a paper, and often the most challenging.
*thread* While helpful in some ways, this piece by @IvyLeagueLady is discomfiting in others, particularly with regard to public-facing writing. In my experience this kind of work has myriad knock-on effects for an academic career:
— it builds your reputation;

The Plenary Meeting for the Research Data Alliance to be held in Melbourne Mar 2020, offers a unique opportunity for the Australian and regional community to influence and drive the development of solutions to data problems. @CSIRO@resdatall#NCRISimpact https://t.co/UpUGzD7JlS
.@RHendery proximity matters in collaboration. Short term sprints and f2f efforts probably more sustainable than trying to match timezones though. oh hells yes. #ResBazSyd
The dangers of thinking every PhD student ought to be destined to do world class science, There are diverse careers out there and we should encourage students to think about them https://t.co/FuA4YBR1ah
