Research Parasite

Reanalyzing your data. Disproving what you posited. Stealing ideas you haven't yet had.

[Research Parasite @dataparasite]

@RickyPo Yup!

[Research Parasite @dataparasite]

@NEJM Is the data underlying the study available or should we just take all of this on faith?

[Research Parasite @dataparasite]

@jjmerkin @minouye271 They want "data science" but not "data."

[Research Parasite @dataparasite]

If you use Stata for your data analysis, please make sure to spell Executive Director David Drukker's name with two k's in your author list.

@CraigWDuffy What about reusing ideas, methodologies, etc.? Each deserves co-authorship, too? Do you add Gosset as an author when using t-tests?

@kyle_minogue Hi!

[Research Parasite @dataparasite]

@chrisdc77 @lakens @lisadebruine I like you.

[Research Parasite @dataparasite]

@lisadebruine @lakens Sharing data pre-publication = a welfare-improving choice
Sharing data post-publication = a scientific necessity

[Research Parasite @dataparasite]

@lisadebruine We notify the authors, usually in a short, sardonic note. We may be parasites, but there's a code!

@dataparasite @NEJM >"I like it that you ask for feedback.
I hate your science-smothering opaque guts.
But you have nice fonts and a short name." >

[Research Parasite @dataparasite]

Name and shame. https://t.co/U9chytqmEe

[Research Parasite @dataparasite]

@NEJM Since using Census Bureau data, I imagine that John H. Thompson, its current director, was included as a coauthor?

[Research Parasite @dataparasite]

Well, since you asked.

[Research Parasite @dataparasite]

@DrKeithSmith It isn't just "good for science." It *IS* science.

[Research Parasite @dataparasite]

@OwlMae @Ehmee I research research parasites.

Your periodic reminder that data are not "positive" or "negative."

The collision of our assumptions and designs with data may be.
