Garth Coghlan<p>"We’ve saved the funniest tool for last: the tortured phrases detector. Sometimes researchers copy paste text from other academic papers. To avoid accusations of plagiarism they use tools that automatically rewrite the text. But this doesn’t always go well. Sometimes it results in phrases that sound weird and no longer make sense in their context. ‘Artificial intelligence’ becomes ‘counterfeit consciousness’ while ‘deep neural network’ is changed into ‘profound neural organization.’ Nonsensical terms like these suggest a paper has been produced by a paper mill. Guillaume Cabanac and colleagues have pioneered the detection of tortured phrases in computer science, but others have used it in medicine and found some hilarious examples. ‘Anal canal’ became ‘butt-centric waterway’ while ‘breast cancer’ is often rephrased as ‘bosom peril’."</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/Science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Science</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/ReplicationCrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ReplicationCrisis</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/ScienceIntegrity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ScienceIntegrity</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://mecfsskeptic.com/how-many-scientific-papers-are-fake/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">mecfsskeptic.com/how-many-scie</span><span class="invisible">ntific-papers-are-fake/</span></a></p>

Nelson<p>Before the experiment, they interview an expert to ask:</p><p>- What was this experiment testing? <br>- What's the most likely way we could screw it up? <br>- How is our setup different from the original, and how might have the original experiment been flawed? <br>- What are the stakes? If we fail to replicate the experiment, what might that mean for scientific knowledge? </p><p>Common experimental errors have muppet avatars, and if the expert mentions them, they come on screen and sing a song.</p><p><a href="https://jawns.club/tags/ReplicationCrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ReplicationCrisis</span></a></p>

Joel Snyder<p>I’m part of the <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/EEGManyLabs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EEGManyLabs</span></a> project testing the <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/replicability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>replicability</span></a> of influential <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/EEG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EEG</span></a> studies. We are using <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/PredictionMarkets" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PredictionMarkets</span></a> as a tool in this effort and you are invited to take part, especially if you have some expertise in EEG research, no matter how little. See below for details.</p><p>You may well know about the success of “prediction markets” in forecasting the likelihood of replication (e.g., Dreber et al., PNAS 2015). We are delighted to announce that we have partnered with economists who led these seminal studies to test the wisdom of the EEG community.</p><p>From today (as we near the end of recruitment for this project - please see last calls below), we are opening a survey to ask you to vote on the likelihood of some hypotheses studied in the <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/EEGManyLabs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EEGManyLabs</span></a> project. Subsequently, you will be invited to bet on the likelihood of success through a stock market platform, where you will earn real money for you or a selected charity. </p><p>The success of this effort will become clear when we complete the full project in a few years time. But the results will immediately tell us about the degree of optimism/pessimism amongst our community. </p><p>So, please share this widely and place your bets now...</p><p>How can I sign up for the prediction markets? Registrations to participate in the prediction markets are administered via the sign-up form linked below. You must have experience of working with EEG (for example, through collecting and/or analysing EEG data, which may be evidenced by having published peer-reviewed articles or preprints with EEG or equivalent experience e.g. designing, collecting and analysing data from EEG experiments). </p><p><a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/neuroscience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>neuroscience</span></a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/psychology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>psychology</span></a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/replication" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>replication</span></a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/replicationcrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>replicationcrisis</span></a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/reproducibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>reproducibility</span></a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/metascience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>metascience</span></a></p><p><a href="https://pavlovug-dot-yamm-track.appspot.com/2fDq4NW3JydtlOhg09G1yGVAVSU8W-Whs6kPML9_ZfizxufZcjwEmQPWP5AnyD8NUrSZsBDvk7fYcappAg1Sgo3_tXQFMEu2Cc91Q_7ZoUrnvmZiS20DZiHsSFcGXN3Cpu_h990jl35DhtizskaAYiFIXKDiVMD0arROUO4-wXStjr4hF_n39GH14z3uQM6NK9ioOU86MruRx" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">pavlovug-dot-yamm-track.appspo</span><span class="invisible">t.com/2fDq4NW3JydtlOhg09G1yGVAVSU8W-Whs6kPML9_ZfizxufZcjwEmQPWP5AnyD8NUrSZsBDvk7fYcappAg1Sgo3_tXQFMEu2Cc91Q_7ZoUrnvmZiS20DZiHsSFcGXN3Cpu_h990jl35DhtizskaAYiFIXKDiVMD0arROUO4-wXStjr4hF_n39GH14z3uQM6NK9ioOU86MruRx</span></a></p>
