@rasoulipour نکته دیگری که بنظرم رسید تاج افراسیابه. بیشتر شبیه استایل تاج پادشاهان اروپا��ی در قرون وسطی هست! بنظرم توجه به این جزئیات ازین نظر مهمه که حال و هوای ایرانی-شرقی داستان رو حفظ می کنه و اون رو از داستانهای فانتزی هالیوودی که بر پیش زمینه اسطوره های اروپایی ساخته شده متمایز میکنه.

[Amir Farmahini @aryachicra]

@rasoulipour بی نظیر! اینکه از تلفظ ایرانی جای-نامها (مثلا جیحون) استفاده می کنید خیلی عالیه (شاید «آمو» بهتر هم می‌بود) با اینحال چون متن داستان به زبان انگلیسی است (پس قاعدتا مخاطب غیرایرانی مد نظره) شاید بد نباشه در داخل پرانتز معادل انگلیسی جای-نامها هم ذکر بشه (جیحون = the Oxus).

@rasoulipour انتخاب آهنگ بی نظیر بود؛ در هماهنگی کامل با روایتگری داستان! دستمریزاد! 👏

Our (Jim Sawada & @RajendranArvind) paper on steam #adsorption equilibrium was just published in J. Chem. Eng. Data! We quantified steam on #CALF20, Lewatit, and an act. carbon for steam-purge TSA processes. It's also my first as a corresponding author!

Happy “Norouz” to my Iranian colleagues & friends, and anyone who celebrates this wonderful occasion! 🪷

@PuerAchaemenius @farridnejad الان منظور بریان اینه که کتاب بدیع اثری آماتوری است و یا اینکه در تایید نظر او در مورد تحریف تاریخ هخامنش�� توسط اروپاییها داره صحبت می کنه؟! 🤔 متاسفانه ترجمه گوگل خیلی کمک کننده نبود!

Not a surprise…!

Overpublishing puts enormous stress on students and PIs.

And brings tons of money to publishers in STEM.

A new study shows that the number of papers is increasing FASTER than the number of #PhD graduates.

It’s an amazing work with very useful statistics. Huge kudos to the authors!

▫️

Main outcomes:

1️⃣ In 2022 the number of articles is 47% higher than in 2016. The amount of writing, reviewing and editing workload per scientist is increased enormously.

2️⃣ “Special issues” is a strategy for publishing lots of papers with reduced review time. This is possible due to the “publish or perish” pressure and clearly benefits the publishers.

3️⃣ The publishing time varies widely!
MDPI = 37 days. Frontiers = 72 days. Elsevier = 134 days. Springer = 157 days. Nature = 185 days.

4️⃣ The article rejection rates do not seem to correlate with publisher growth. However, rejection rates decline with increased use of special issue publishing.

5️⃣ Certain for-profit gold-open-access publishers create an increasing number of special issues, with uniquely reduced turnaround times, and in specific cases, high impact inflation and reduced rejection rates.

6️⃣ The authors suggest a new metric - Impact Inflation, which is reflected in self-citation within the same journal. For example, MDPI has a high impact inflation due to excessive self-citation compared to other publishers.

Conclusions and my opinion:

- Scientists have to spend a lot more time on reviewing and writing than before (on average).

- The more papers are published, the more the quality is compromised.

- Scientific progress has become partially bound to the business models of publishers and their revenue (a sad reality today).

- There is a huge lack of transparency. Much of these data had to be ‘web-scraped’ from numerous sources in order to get a full picture. We clearly need regulators to mandate open access to publisher’s statistics.

- Reduce the number of special issues! Those typically have low standards.

▫️

Science, publishing and funding make a trio that is very hard to disentangle.

However, research quality is controlled by the community.

This is why preprint + community review can make a big difference.
