I appreciate the spirit of this piece, but note several misunderstandings that continue to plague most discussions about #openaccess

Recently, I've spent time reflecting both on the type of scholarly work I'm pursuing and how I present such work
Below, I muse about how I can better support non-commercial and scholar-led publishers and journals

For #TidyTuesday Week 3 (The History of Himalayan Mountain Expeditions), I chose to make a bar chart for the top 15 countries, based on the # of claimed expeditions completed
I found this a good excuse to learn how to add country flags to a chart

I ended up having a lot of trouble with the geom_flags function in "ggimage", but found a workaround.

I appreciate any feedback!

For #TidyTuesday Week 2 (posit::conf talks) I chose to make word clouds from presentation abstracts for the 2023 and 2024 conferences. I primarily relied on the Tidytext & Wordcloud2 packages.

I appreciate any feedback!

This feels like a step in the right direction, even if not conducted in the same open manner many of us would hope for.
.@NIH is offering investigators up to $50K plus overhead costs to repeat lab studies w a major impact on health to make sure their findings are reproducible

Lot of cool books continuing to come out on the history and ideas of logical empiricism.
Among them: Alan Richardsons' Logical Empiricism as Scientific Philosophy, Sahotra Sarkar's The Vienna Circle: The Story of Logocal Empiricism, and Adam Tuboly's Otto Neurath in Britain.
I continue to be impressed at the depth and breadth at which Ian Hacking was able to write, all while remaining fairly accessible to the non-specialist.

Here is my contribution for TidyTuesday Week 1
I chose to visualize cancer incidence in the U.S. using data from the National Cancer Institute’s SEER Program. I chose the 4 most common cancers and attempted to visualize incidence by sex, for years 1975-2021

Great series of posts @AaronCharlton! Wholly recommended, alongside the original Lancet article.
I'm doing a series of short blog posts for @awayclinic about the Andrew Wakefield hoax/grift. Part 1 focuses on the conflicts of interest. Wakefield was paid by a lawyer to find the problems so he could sue big pharma. awayclinic.com/post/andrew-w…

Interesting paper by @bianca_troveaux and @n4s2am on how blockchain technology can be leveraged to incentivize peer review, as well as enhance transparency and accountability

I'm still dipping my toes into this literature, and I know the authors have further developed the @AntsReview protocol since this 2021 paper. However, I'm currently left wondering:
(1) to what extent a token economy will become an end in itself, rather than a means to an end,

FSU has been slowly building a thoughtful and inclusive open science community, led by the wonderful @afrofuturistlib
I'm glad to have been a small part of it!

Hey #epitwitter! Any book or article suggestions on screening (cancer or other diseases)?
Looking for something (pref. intermediate level) that covers pros, cons, potential biases, and/or design strategies, if possible.
"The studies contained in the book were carried out by five successive cohorts of undergraduate students...each year’s group building on the work of the previous one"
Such a cool model for teaching and scholarship @profmattdecarlo #HasokChang

Hey @MicrobiomDigest I'd like to report rampant image duplication #ImageForensics

In this preprint, I make a spirited defense of open peer review (with special emphasis on #socialwork)
Feedback welcome (This manuscript has been sitting in review purgatory for 7+ months now, but in light of recent events, it seems timely to share...)

Any comments on Tables 1 and 2 would be particularly helpful. #PeerReview #OpenPeerReview
New pub in the European Journal for Philosophy of Science: "Progressive and Degenerative Journals"
I draw on Lakatos's methodology of scientific research programmes to offer insights on how we might evaluate journals and publishers
