This was not just meant as a joke though. I'm going to record and upload a video with another example.
Let's say my wellbeing fluctuates over time; whenever I'm quite unwell I intervene some way (e.g., take some homeopathic globules). More often than not, my wellbeing will improve subsequently!>

Gotta love a fresh social dilemma in the wild.
Stop submitting AI slop to journals and preprint servers
This is anti-social behavior. It is making life harder for everyone involved except for the person submitting the slop
This is anti-social behavior. It is making life harder for everyone involved except for the person submitting the slop
In light of record submission rates and a large volume of AI-generated slop, SocArXiv recently implemented a policy requiring ORCIDs linked in the OSF profile of submitting authors, and narrowing our focus to social science subjects. Today we are taking two more steps:

From my experience, journals generally don't publish stage 1 of a Registered Report after in principle acceptance. But here, it seems Wiley does this? authorservices.wiley.com/author-resou... Can anyone point to examples for journals publishing stage 1 and then updating at stage 2, Wiley or other?

Great news: finally Miles Hewstone is exposed. I stopped citing him years ago, I warned friends/colleagues when I saw them publishing together, I informed as many people as possible about him. We all did. Had this piece been published 15 years ago, everyone would have already known. Shame on Oxford.
