@PabloAQuin4054 @Theory_Society The point isn't any single method or paper. Could be e.g. 1) publishing in adjacent fields (e.g., economics, general science). 2) applied context where wrong theory/conclusions have real consequences.

[Torbjørn Skardhamar @grumpy_rn]

New article out on disciplinary survival in @Theory_Society The case is sociology, but might apply wider. It's just that a famous quote gave the opportunity to write it this way. You might not like it, or maybe you do.

[Theory and Society (Springer Nature) @Theory_Society]

New in @Theory_Society, @JukkaSavo and @grumpy_rn argue that criminology has made more theoretical progress than its critics often acknowledge.

What do you think? Read their article here: https://t.co/fXRHzIo3zw

Here is my take on AI and authorship, and it has everything to do with open science. Here are the principles:

@SigmundBook @PaulLarsson2 @NarkoTweeter420 @HFMarthinussen @Tanrangar Burde kunne hentes frem fra offerstatistikkens grunnmateriale. Hvis skolen er anmelder. Politiets data har adresse på gjerningssted og kan dermed knyttes til skoler hvis det er tilfelle.

Sammen med min gode kollega @bjornhoyland påpeker vi her dårlige prioriteringer ved UiOs kurs i universitetspedagogikk: https://t.co/1dLWVQvlh6

@ntborgen @ERC_Research Congratulations!! Well deserved!

[Torbjørn Skardhamar @grumpy_rn]

One just should not be sued for legitimate high quality scientific critique. https://t.co/HNGakfbFw9

Looking forward to have this PhD-course together with Trude Lappegård:

@gmvidl @OSmallenbroek Nice work! I've found a potential issue. See DM.

[Torbjørn Skardhamar @grumpy_rn]

@SJacques83 @LessCrime @DavidBuil @AmyNivette Agree. But let's relate to the world as it is.

[Torbjørn Skardhamar @grumpy_rn]

@SJacques83 @LessCrime @DavidBuil @AmyNivette Well, just general dislike of critics is enough. People might also ingratiate themselves by too favourable reviews. Bad people not required. Retaliation is less likely, but occasionally relevant.

[Torbjørn Skardhamar @grumpy_rn]

@JukkaSavo @chrisuggen It is great to see replications in this way. It takes many studies to establish anything, so this is as it should be. We simply need more replications more generally.

[Torbjørn Skardhamar @grumpy_rn]

Interested in a postdoc position in Oslo? We need someone who preferably knows a lot about data, but also criminological stuff. We're pretty good, but would be delighted if someone more talented than us applies: https://t.co/7yIPnuxle0
The project leaders are super nice.

[Torbjørn Skardhamar @grumpy_rn]

Sammen med @bjornhoyland påpeker vi at skoleeksamen er pedagogisk undervurdert. Vi ser en del utdatert kritikk av skoleeksamen. Vi bør heller få enda bedre skoleeksamener! https://t.co/q0SfDEdG7m

[Torbjørn Skardhamar @grumpy_rn]

This is worth reading! To the extent I've seen positional statements in papers, I tend to just skip them. My interest is whether their evidence and arguments hold. To that end, positional statements are uninformative, and potentially misleading.

[Jukka Savolainen @JukkaSavo]

#Positionality statements do not belong in the research literature.

This is what my coauthors and I argue in the article published in Perspectives on Psychological Science. @PsychScience

Our objections to this growing practice are three-fold (1/6).

[Torbjørn Skardhamar @grumpy_rn]

@JukkaSavo @BenjaminSpivak I think the term is primarily used when trying to make a point without engaging in the subject matter. It is just labelling.

[Bjørn Høyland @bjornhoyland]

Vi, ⁦@grumpy_rn⁩ , oppsummerer og kommenterer svarene fra LINK og rektoratet:
1) det finnes ingen kriseberedskap for pedagogiske utfordringer ved UiO
2) LINK vil ikke bidra
3) skoleeksamen kan løse ChatGPT-problemet på kort sikt https://t.co/0nyN6URgm2
