a nice consequence of this rule is that nature journals like the new "nature cities" is classified to level 0 with predatory journals, as the entire board comes from springer nature

Where's the data? I want to roll up my sleeves, get my hands dirty, and analyse some data.

I believe that to be a measure of solidity, not preference. Still better than d tho!

Ok... I'd still prefer "amount consumed (g)". Perhaps for comical, not scientific, reasons.

Not as terrible as having to eat/smell poop in a psych lab.

OMG!

But why d and not some meaningful & directly interpretable metric? Like "% of occasions where people choose to eat poop vs chocolate", "amount consumed (g)", "saliva volume (mm) on stimulus presentation", etcetc. Stdz "effect sizes" r evil.

I don't know what fields you work in, might be reasonable to check what your colleagues in the field are using. Some common ones are arxiv, biorxiv, medrxiv, psyarxiv, ...

Researchgate is another example of hostile industry capture and is best avoided when posting preprints; truly open and non-profit platforms are usually recommended for scholarly work sharing.

And it is also a sad fact of the matter that it takes effort and time to develop visibility to one's work, and current journals do some of that for us.

One issue (a conscious design decision afaik) with Zenodo is that it is not indexed by google scholar. I would 100% use Zenodo for preprints if they showed up on gscholar--relying on that is a whole other issue that we'll need to tackle at some point.

Looks like your preprints might be arxiv-ok?

Yea the peer reviewed / not peer reviewed is not really an informative distinction given the papers are openly available.

It's probably very easy at this point but perhaps more an issue re citation counting.

1. Create a problem. 2. Come up with a resource-intensive & error prone solution. 3. Profit.

This is simply nonsense. Have you noticed how you're talking beside the point and appear to lack any familiarity with open peer review systems and the publish, review, curate model? Something about YouTube and "suicidal media".

I think this is right, but the ultimate issue is then the metrics & evaluation focused bullshit we have to endure and not how we send words and figures to each other. Does the preprint revolution make this problem worse? Possibly, but still the solution is to rid that corporate BS from academia.

I think this is pretty much a correct take on the negative sides of the preprint revolution, especially the rich get richer phenomenon. But I would shift the blame a bit since it's not my decision that a newspaper talks about my preprint in ways XYZ.

over the years i've gradually come to change my view on preprints, which now is: they're harmful & doing net damage (unpopular opinion but there are actual reasons /3

It wasn't even a paper! It was a blog post! (a pdf on the pre-print server ArXiv). I love ArXiv and preprints (and also the entire field of economic publishing) but this is the downside: blog posts picked up in the media as ready for public consumption, when it's not. gizmodo.com/mit-backs-aw...

Apart from being a cliche, it's a reference to a theme in one of the all time greatest songs & albums: www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHcm...

Very nice. Can you assign the colors programmatically? E.g. if you name all the states in the title they would all get the same color as in the plot? Could be a nice way to embed a legend in a caption, for example.

I wouldn't say that the issue is ignored though, it's just a different front of the same battle.
