@Mr. Byzantium Why does it have to have gluten in it?

2019-01-31 15:35:45 UTC  

Also, I have medical publications and my lab peer reviews people too. What's sad is that a lot of studies get passed that just suck.

2019-01-31 15:37:01 UTC  

My dad is a surgeon and they have monthly journal club where they all just go through new papers in surgery stuff and they just tear them apart. So many are garbage

2019-01-31 15:40:33 UTC  

@Mozalbete ⳩ What's insane though is that the high IR journals will turn you down for the smallest stuff sometimes. Your whole study will be good but they'll ask you to reverify your data a 4th or 5th way even though you've already verified it with 3 different methods.

2019-01-31 15:41:05 UTC  

I'm in the BR field FYI.

2019-01-31 15:41:26 UTC  

They will turn you down for things that do not matter at all, but the unpaid reviewer are not going to replicate what you do or say.

I work on comuter science

2019-01-31 15:41:58 UTC  

Oh yeah, I do reviews lol. We don't check their actual work per se.

2019-01-31 15:42:25 UTC  

We go through the whole paper and send it back and tell them how garbage it is though

2019-01-31 15:42:52 UTC  

One recently didn't have a control group lol

2019-01-31 15:43:08 UTC  

I was baffled

2019-01-31 15:43:38 UTC  

It was also littered with grammar issues (came from China)

2019-01-31 15:43:51 UTC  

Anyone with half a brain can just mention a million methodologies that weren't actually used, or "ignore outliers", or use convenient statistical emthods, etc

2019-01-31 15:43:58 UTC  

Chinese people are that way

2019-01-31 15:45:02 UTC  

Yeah, it's pretty awful at times.

2019-01-31 15:45:24 UTC  

Peak example

2019-01-31 15:46:15 UTC  

Wait, wrong one I think. Right topic, but wrong video to explain it

2019-01-31 15:46:26 UTC  

Got my first warning from Big Zucc, lads.

2019-01-31 15:46:36 UTC  

Feel like I'm one of the cool kids now.

2019-01-31 15:46:46 UTC  

There's the right one

2019-01-31 15:48:34 UTC  

Le sciencitif concensus face

2019-01-31 15:49:54 UTC  

Recently, my team started working on a CS field. We tested an existing technique, using the very implementation that the author provided and the same data

2019-01-31 15:50:15 UTC  

The results were much, much worse than those reported in the paper. The paper has several hundred citations

2019-01-31 15:53:24 UTC  

Peer review has been awful for the sciences.

2019-01-31 15:53:41 UTC  

I mean, I probably couldn't suggest anything better, but still.

2019-01-31 17:17:23 UTC  

Remember when that guy got zucked for saying "pedo enabler"

2019-01-31 17:27:28 UTC  

Facebook itself is a pedo enabler

2019-01-31 18:26:47 UTC  

Figured out why I got my content warning

2019-01-31 18:27:16 UTC  

It's because I name all my images and memes autistically after the subject matter, so I posted a memri and I imagine the filename got picked up in an autofilter.

2019-02-01 01:16:49 UTC  

Doesn't seem that bad

2019-02-01 01:17:34 UTC  

The more citations you have the less likely people are gonna doubt your lies

2019-02-01 01:50:46 UTC  

Peer review is shit because people basically treat it as divine revelation now

2019-02-01 01:51:57 UTC  

Anything that relies on "The majority says it's true" as it's deciding factor, always ends up being retarded. Especially when "The majority says it's true" becomes the standard enforced by the state.

2019-02-01 07:27:56 UTC  

How the fuck can people still call any criticism of Jews "antisemitism" when they are constantly pulling nonsense like that?

2019-02-01 07:28:57 UTC  

protect the minorities

2019-02-01 07:28:58 UTC  

at all costs
