The network evolves. We now have a rough draft of our first question set (design issues relation to the exposure regimen applied in a study) for our tool for assessing the internal validity of in vitro studies. Note, this is very rough! A Delphi will be done.

On the other hand, use of punctuation in scientific research is UP, with an ever-increasing flow of words colon more words article titles. I reckon we are smashing it on both a relative and absolute measure of frequency. We should be selling colon replacement keys for computers any time soon.

I've just tried 8 variants of Harvard citation style in my citation manager and every single one of them is effing wrong.

Data Colada has submitted a motion for sanction against Francesca Gino and her former lawyer team. I hope the court rules in their favor. It will be a powerful message that sleuths can expose fake research without fearing legal consequences. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Scientific workshops are generally, how do I put this, painful - right? (Or maybe it's just me who lacks stamina for 15 back-to-back PowerPoint presentations in airless windowless rooms?) There is a better way. We wrote about it. Read it. End the suffering. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

huh what's that oh nothing just a concept network relating 375 bias concepts for in vitro research abstracted from the literature and focus group discussions that took 9 months and about 250 person-hours to build

So in one of my occasional stints as a peer-reviewer (editing means I don't do a whole lot of this anymore) I reviewed this paper for Frontiers in AI, recommended rejection because um well judge for yourself. www.mdpi.com/2075-4426/15....

This is a great model for publishing. It's not the model we have at EBT (we don't have the resources and we don't want to be selective, so we approach things a little differently) but if you are a selective journal, this has to be the way to go.

Short newsletter from my journal, really just showing our trajectory of thought on the issue of research fraud and forensic peer-review. With the most recent three papers that we have published. :) sh1.sendinblue.com/amir1fw0hxpf...

Never change, Copilot. :D

Uh oh. I don't even have this many followers?

This is a very nice rebuttal of a range of misconceptions about the use of structured bias appraisal tools in systematic reviews. Focused on ROBINS-E but the same arguments have been made against other tools. Won't convince naysayers but hey-ho. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Still not convinced that scientists are the people best-equipped to talk about science. scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2025/04/17/g...
