저자는 논문 채택의 결정 기준 중 하나가 인간의 개입(노력) 정도였을 가능성이 있다고 추정합니다. 만약 해당 기준이 사라지면, 연구자들은 인간 노력보다 아이디어의 흥미로움에 거의 전적으로 집중하게 될 것이라고 전망합니다. 이는 AI 보조 연구가 학술 평가 기준을 바꿀 수 있음을 시사합니다.

@Bayesprof @SebastienBubeck @boazbaraktcs So far, my guess is that one of the decision criteria for accepting a paper was the amount of human effort (even if implicit). If that’s gone, then people will focus almost only on how interesting an idea is.

While the strain on academic #publishing is real, here is a monthly reminder to always respond to invitations for #PeerReview! Ignoring these messages just exacerbates the problem for everyone involved - let's not do that 💪 🔭 🧪

#science #research #publication #review #academia

If a journal asks me to do a peer-review for them, which I accept, then it makes a decision before the review deadline, without waiting for my review, and without letting me know that I do not need to do the review.. while I use my spare time to complete the peer-review by the deadline... then I am not going to do any more peer-review for that journal 🤷

(#PLoSOne in this case 🫤)

Inhaltlich werde ich auch bald was zum Paper hier posten, aber erst in einigen Tagen.
Heute am Veröffentlichungstag wollte ich aber mal wenigstens die Menschen verlinken, die ich hier verlinken kann und das Paper mit euch teilen. Wir haben jetzt knapp ein Jahr an dem Paper gesessen, nicht nur im Projekt steckt viel Herzblut sondern auch in den nicht ganz 5000 Wörtern des Papers nach #PeerReview

2. Lack of further results like feature visualization, downstream results and so on.

* Reviewer 1: The paper lacks enough visual experimental figures that clearly demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

> I don't have pretty pictures to impress you in this paper. Just number and stats over large datasets. Does that mean the science is wrong?

* Reviewer 2: Only the accuracy and calibration of the fusion model itself are evaluated, without verifying its performance improvement for downstream safety-critical tasks, resulting in a lack of practicality validation."

> That is a whole ass new paper you are asking for because this data is not available as far as I know. There is very few dataset of **checks notes** people wearing IMU sensors while being in a situation in which they might hurt themselves and die.

Complained to the AE, was sent back the exact comments from the #reviewers that I demonstrated are incorrect or already done. The AE say they read the reviewers comments again and stand by their judgement, but _did they read our paper that already answers the reviewers comments_? I guess not.

Why be an associate editor when you clearly don’t want to do the job…?

@zimoun
What am I missing?
Who exactly is perfecting my PDF prints? The major journals just make a print out of my.manuscript in the nick of a moment, often with mistakes, figures with pixel and ugly tables.

Got one of these emails again...

Third time was not the charm. Early January my paper was rejected by another journal. This one stung a bit. Unlike the last one, it didn’t include any reviewer comments. It took me a bit, but I have submitted to a 4th journal. For anyone that is curious, a preprint is available at https://osf.io/preprints/socarxiv/hb6rn_v1 with the title Universal Basic Income and Value Realization: Metaphysical Insights for Implementation in the United States. #AcademicWriting #PeerReview #Preprint #UBI #Economics #philosophy
