Last year, we found that @OpenAlex was mistakenly marking some papers as retracted—misleading researchers. We @hauschke reported the issue, posted a preprint in March 2024, and… #OpenAlex fixed it almost instantly! 👏

:doi: doi.org/10.1177/01655515251322

Meanwhile, our peer-reviewed paper on this? Published today - over a year later. See the difference? Preprints matter. Open science works.

I don't manage to find time for in depth reviewing of manuscripts. I'm considering refusing all reviewing requests, and when I have some time screening @biorxivpreprint preprints #PeerReview #Preprints
(reposting because editing one word of the text removed the poll??)

Bonjour et merci de ce travail.

Pour promouvoir Mastodon et le Fédivers pour le milieu #académique, j'essaie d'agir de mon côté sur 3 axes :
- contenu #scientifique, avec des robots #biblio thématiques. L'inspiration vient de #flypapers qui existait sur Twitter... avant d'être banni (!?) et postait tous les papiers et #preprints en lien avec la Drosophile. @flypapers est maintenant hébergé par la société savante @Co_Biologists ainsi que 2 autres bots spécialisés, qui ajoutent des #tags.

¿De qué hablamos cuando hablamos de Resultados Abiertos? 🤔
En el quinto encuentro de #ALTaCA conversamos sobre cuestiones relacionadas a publicaciones de
#AccesoAbierto, #Preprints y cómo evitar las revistas predatorias.

💡 Como menciona
@dburin, abrir resultados requiere tiempo y conocimientos
✨ Compartimos recursos y comunidades que facilitan este camino y permiten construir una ciencia más transparente y colaborativa:

Cryptologue Arcade - Crypto Darkpaper - Crypto Color Prints - Simplementation Scheme : A Color-Coded Method For Indexing Research and Documentation

https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.13149715

Crypto Color Prints are a memorable and data-dense documentation paradigm with a color-coded, structural scheme. The scheme separates concerns by color grouping. The scheme forms a simple framework for organizing, referencing, publishing and improving primitives and protocols with a focus on both cooperation and implementation. The Cryptologue scheme is designed for collating descriptions of various components of larger systems into a color-coded reference system.

Comparing the predicted #replicability of a study with its actual replicability.

"Both beginners and more-experienced participants…have some ability to make better-than-chance predictions about the reliability of ‘fast science’ under conditions of high uncertainty."

For more along these lines, esp #PredictionMarkets for #replication, see the Twitter thread I started in 2020, which I plan to continue here in Mastodon. Watch this space.

NaturePredicting the replicability of social and behavioural science claims in COVID-19 preprints - Nature Human BehaviourThis study assessed COVID-19 social science preprints’ replicability using structured groups. Both beginners and more-experienced participants used a elicitation protocol to make better-than-chance predictions about the reliability of research claims under high uncertainty.

Hexlish Alphabet for English, Constructed Languages and Cryptography: Automatic, Structural Compression with a Phonetic Hexadecimal Alphabet

DOI : https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.13139469

Hexlish is a legible, sixteen-letter alphabet for writing the English language and for encoding text as legible base 16 or compressed binary. Texts composed using the alphabet are automatically compressed by exactly fifty percent when converted from Hexlish characters into binary characters. Although technically lossy, this syntactic compression enables recovery of the correct English letters via syntactic reconstruction. The implementer can predict the size of the compressed binary file and the size of the text that will result from decompression. Generally it is intuitive to recognize English alphabet analogues to Hexlish words. This makes Hexlish a legible alternative to the standard hexadecimal alphabet.

New study: For 9 medical journals publishing papers on #COVID during the #pandemic (but not for other journals in the same category), articles with previously distributed #OpenAccess #preprints were cited 5x more often than papers without preprints.

bioRxiv · Preprints vs. Journal Articles: Citation Impact in COVID-19 ResearchFocusing on article and citation count, this study examined 110 academic journals whose papers on COVID-19 were indexed in PubMed from 2020 to 2023. To analyze these journals’ characteristics, this study introduced the concepts of paper ratio, citation ratio, and citation impact. Journals with similar trends in paper and citation count were positioned near the diagonal on a two-dimensional graph (y=x) with paper ratio on the x-axis and citation ratio on the y-axis, indicating a slope close to 1. Conversely, the greater the disparity between paper ratio and citation ratio, the wider the angle between the journal’s position and the diagonal. Of the 110 journals in 2020, 83 were above the diagonal with a citation impact greater than 1, while 27 were below the diagonal with a citation impact of 1 or lower. Notably, nine journals— BMC Health Services Research, Genome Medicine, Nature, Annals of Epidemiology, BMC Bioinformatics, Nature Microbiology, PLoS Computational Biology, Medicine (Baltimore) , and Journal of Clinical Investigation —showed high citation impact, with preprint-distributed papers being cited nearly five times more than directly submitted papers. This study demonstrates that articles initially distributed as preprints in these journals tend to receive substantially more citations than directly submitted ones. ### Competing Interest Statement The authors have declared no competing interest.
