@Cyborgneticz isn't it? I was like oh, this will help me with lit review, but then it's actually just really useful for everyday life.
Looking for digital version of 'How Parties Win: Shaping the Irish Political Arena' by Sean D. McGraw (2015). It seems like it's on Jstor but can't access it. @icanhazpdf Could you help me with this? Thanks in advance 🤓

A useful browser extension to automatically check if any scientific paper linked to in any webpage has been disputed, critiqued, or commented on by their peers: https://pubpeer.com/static/extensions

I installed it for my academic work but when I read general-audience articles outside my field on say, a new drug or cancer agent, I often get a notification that a paper in the article has comments on PubPeer, which can give a nice insight into how controversial the development is/isn't

@PubPeer

This is cool. I like academics who do things like this.
