Hey #AcademicFedi I need your opinion on something 🙏

I was recently asked to review on a platform I did not know: https://www.qeios.com

Anyone knows about it? It did not seem too fishy at a glance but their economic model and who is behind it is not entirely clear to me so I'm a bit wary of potential link with people with an agenda (almost got bitten before).
So I'm not sure I want to encourage people to use that can of platform instead of, say, @PeerCommunityIn until I know more about them and the guarantees that all the content will not be lost five years from now...

All opinions, feedbacks, or boosts are welcome 🙂

Dear all, I am happy to share my latest preprint. Soon, you will be able to peer-review it. Hope you enjoy it!

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...

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 😉

😱 Depuis quand un gouvernement peut-il décider de ce que les scientifiques peuvent ou ne peuvent pas publier??

Since when can governments decide what should be published or not by scientists??

Resist the censorship!!

Here is a question for writers of scientific papers, or others who have to cite sources in their writing. If you have a situation where a person, in this case Alan Bartholomai, who writes a personal communication to an author, in this case Eugene Gaffney, and that author then reproduces the letter in a publication, how does one correctly cite information contained within the letter?
Would it be "(A. Bartholomai pers. comm to Gaffney in Gaffney, 1981)" ?

"To further boost online engagement, scientists may also be incentivized to review pre-prints. Recent reports suggest that scientists are more motivated to review if they are credited for it, especially if these efforts are recognized by their employers; monetary compensation ranked only sixth"

"Importantly, being an author is not only about credit but also about accountability. Typically, an author will be accountable for the quality and integrity of their own contribution, but also for the work as a whole by ensuring that questions arising post-publication are investigated thoroughly and that materials and data remain available."
