Konrad Hinsen's blog

@khinsen there's a widespread sense in NZ that masters degrees have the same meaning now that highschool diplomas had fifty years ago, and doctorates bachelors. I wonder if the use of advanced statistics shows the theory is robust.

You didn't review any of Sandewall's work on open peer review or anything did you? I never really got into that track of his work.

@screwtape I try to follow work on peer reviewing techniques, but probably I am missing much of it. All I have seen focuses on how peer review is organized: who participates, who can consult it. I haven't seen anyone question the principle that peer reviewers work individually, in isolation.

@khinsen It's basically of historical significance but I regard the author as having been historically significant in general, so. https://www.ida.liu.se/ext/morador/

Oops I meant ADEPT.

@screwtape Thanks for those links, I wasn't aware of this very early work on the topic!
@khinsen Don't remind me that 2006 was /very early work/ plz
