The Metacheck team is busy building an improved version of the osf_download function (www.scienceverse.org/metacheck_bo... ). You will soon be able to use metacheck to download all files, wikis, and meta-data. You will also be able to upload everything to Zenodo.

36  Checking Local Files with repo_check and code_check – The Metacheck Manual

A guide to Metacheck, an R package providing a module based tool for checking scientific manuscripts and data repositories for best practices using text search, R code, and optional LLM queries.

saying you’ll stand up for attacks on science in the US while honouring the person responsible for the attacks is like handing out bandages to people who are being savaged by your pet dog, while doing nothing to restrain him

Abandoning everything you stood for, just to not make fascist billionaires and anti-science crusaders uncomfortable - well done, @royalsociety.org - it takes talent to be SO utterly pathetic and cowardly. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

This is shocking behaviour by Wiley; the stated justification does not stand up. I will not be doing any peer review for Wiley journals in future.

Peer Community in Registered Reports@pci-regreports.bsky.social · last yr.

NEW: Statement from the PCI RR Managing Board on the withdrawal of Infant and Child Development as a PCI RR-friendly journal, and the decision by Wiley to refuse preprints that have been peer-reviewed by @peercommunityin.bsky.social / @pci-regreports.bsky.social Read here ➡️ osf.io/tn8mh

In 2024, Infant and Child Development (ICD) withdrew as a PCI RR-friendly journal and reneged on three Stage 1 recommendations issued by PCI RR. In addition, Wiley – the publisher of ICD – notified PCI RR and the PCI core team of its decision to withdraw all Wiley journals from PCI and PCI RR, including an additional 9 PCI-friendly journals. Finally, Wiley appears to have banned all of its ~1600 journals from considering submissions that have been previously reviewed by PCI or PCI RR. This statement explains the history of ICD joining PCI RR and developments that led to the current outcome. The PCI RR Managing Board believes that this shift in policy to become “PCI-hostile” renders Wiley journals incompatible not only with community-based preprint review but with preprint archiving in general.

How bad will it be? Catastrophic. Proposed cuts to #NSF, #NIH, and #NASA will set the US R&D landscape back 25 yrs+, cause economic and job loss now, and undermine innovations to come. But, this is the WH's *proposed* budget. Speak up now before it is too late. (inflation adjusted $-s below)

NSF, NASA and NIH budgets per year, inflation adjusted from 2000-2025 along with the proposed cuts. NSF includes research component only. Massive cuts across all sectors, well below support spanning 25 years.

Well, it's a while since I gave these talks, but i'm pleased that UKRN has now got them up online with a DOI: Productivity and reproducibility: conflicting pressures on scientists? 10.52843/cassyni.504m8k How current research practices are damaging science: 10.52843/cassyni.dwp8lw Enjoy!

If only a handful of Republicans in the Senate had the decency to caucus with Democrats and end this madness, not because they agree with capital D Democrats but because they valued lower case d democracy. The fact that this is so implausible is capital D Depressing.

Per @statnews.com, a group of researchers has filed a lawsuit against 6 academic publishers, alleging antitrust violations. "The need to confront what has been going on in the scientific publishing area is very overdue," said COS Sr. Director of Research Tim Errington. 🗞️: www.statnews.com/202...

Scientists’ suit against top academic publishers lays bare deep frustration over unpaid peer review

Researchers have sued six big academic publishers, arguing their practices are illegal and anticompetitive.

Birkbeck's offering fully-funded PhD studentships as part of its Diversity 100 scheme. If you qualify as a Home student, & come from an ethnic background that's underrepresented in academia, you're eligible! If that sounds like you, and you'd like to discuss PhDs in my lab, please do get in touch.
