On Bluesky: https://ift.tt/1pMGA9E Everyone likes the good parts of blind review, but blind review also lets people do this with impunity (only ruining their reputation with one person, the editor). Maybe the rules of blind review should come with a caveat: if you act this ridiculously we will expose you [contains quote post or other embedded content]

Alex Sinclair reports that someone called the Israeli police because he had a Palestinian and Israeli flag crocheted on his kippa. They detained him in a cell before letting him go without the kippa. When we demanded it back they returned it with the flag cut out.

Interesting paper on federally funded research prevalence: https://direct.mit.edu/qss/article/4/1/1/114456/Impact-of-the-2022-OSTP-memo-A-bibliometric, with accompanying interactive tool. https://ostp.lib.iastate.edu/. Oddly, though, excludes social sciences without explanation, so undercounting federally funded science. @eschares@scholar.social @LudoWaltman@social.cwts.nl #ostp @academicchatter@a.gup.pe

@qjurecic@mastodon.social Or, if we're relying on Musk to disseminate our work - what are the risks? We need to think about it in the longer run. If it's going to be suddenly terrible one day in the relatively near future - when we need it most - we need to get off it now and start building up an alternative, even at shot-term cost.

@eschares@scholar.social @LudoWaltman@social.cwts.nl @academicchatter@a.gup.pe Tx. After looking at the figure below, which doesn't seem to include social sciences (except Psych), I entered terms "sociology," "economics," "anthropology," etc, into the interactive tool and got "no results," then searched for specific top social science journals and got "no results." Etc.

@guilevi@dragonscave.space Thank you . When my image is just text I don't usually put in alt text because I imagine screen readers can just read them these days, but maybe that's a bad assumption.

@czimm_economist@econtwitter.net @eschares@scholar.social @LudoWaltman@social.cwts.nl It's a good point that minimum publishable unit sizes vary by discipline.
