September 16, 201992: Chaos in the brickyard
Dan and James discuss the role of Google Scholar in citation patterns and whether we should limit academics to only publishing two papers a year.
Links and details:
James has a new Hertz-quarters
The Metascience conference
How is google scholar influencing citation patterns
A slide from @Jevinwest's presentation on Google Scholars
Is this a symptom of lazy citaton practices rather than the algorithm?
What are the alternatives to google scholar?
Should google open up the algorithm?
GS will find your preprint and link it to the paywall link
Why is Google Scholar free?
What would make GS better?
Using the Zotero plugin for to collected citation info in bulk from search results in GS
Top recommended articles in GS are phenomenal
GS is not great for meta-analysis
GS reduces friction
Should we limit academics to only publishing two papers a year, as suggested by former guest, Dorothy Bishop?
Who would stand to lose from this?
Is this idea practical? What if only a few countries or institutions implemented this?
The Japanese math genius who posts papers on his own website
Chaos in the brickyard paper
Chaos in the brickyard cartoon
Open data isn’t a new concept

August 19, 201990: Mo data mo problems
Dan and James discuss two listener questions on performing secondary data analysis and the potential for prestige to creep into open science reforms.
More info and links:
Why generate your own dataset when you can get a high impact paper using public data?
Thanks to Stu Murray for the question
Will people steal your ideas?
The journal Scientific Data
Are we now incentivising data mining rather than data collecting?

Ego and prestige got us into the mess we’re trying to fix with open science, but how can we stop this from happening again?
Thanks to Robin Kok for the question, listen to our episode with him on e-health!
Did all the people who co-authored the paper to change statistical significance the default p-value threshold to .005 actually do this in subsequent papers?
