Remember the academic dogma: decolonisation, politics, systemic analysis...all are for an intellectual entertainment to produce papers, not to be applied in real life.

Hey academic Fedi,
I'm regularly thinking that it would be useful to have a tool that helps me find articles that cite a paper to contradict (or at least "contrast") its result.

It seems that scite [1] does this but they requires a pretty steep subscription given that I'm not sure how reliable their tool is and that they also advertise a chatbot...

[1]: https://scite.ai

Does anyone know of something similar, or a workaround to achieve something similar using standard scientific search engines?

If you don't know, boosts are also appreciated to help the person who might know see this post 😉

Hello #Fediverse @academicchatter
I need your help for a privacy-focused local-host (run offline from my computer) transcription software.

I am (luckily?) collecting more interviews than I planned and transcribing manually is becoming a giant task, so it would really be helpful to have an automatic assistance.

Any suggestions?

I'm looking for fellow #scholars , departments or groups from #UniversityOfWarwick

#academicFedi, can you do your magic and help me to find them?

This Sunday is the first time I have taken two days off since November.

Writing an ERC and submitting the paper to support it has been brutal.

I found no other way to finance basic activities.

Who's going to give me back thsse weekends?
Has it to be this way?
