Keep calm and be transparent: advice from scientists who retracted their papers

Retractions correct the scientific record, but they have stigma attached to them. Some in the research community want that to change.

Ah the joys of publishing a paper (not pictured, a quote by the CEO of palantir after the name of published behavioural ecologist/primatologist that is absolutely not the person who wrote this email)

A screenshot of an email reading: I think 🤔 using the term "same sex behavior" is wildly anthropomorphic & presumptive (have you checked your assumptions with math models?); why isn't it good enough to use the Ethologists' terminology for the behavior--agonistic display?; the field of Animal Behavior remains more like a Social Science than a Science; social scientists complicate phenomena when the job of a scientist is to simplify it, usually by unpacking variability & apparent complexity (see Parisi Nobel Prize Physics 2021); 🤔

Open Science isn’t just a values choice. It’s an economic one. We are sharing a new independent report by @technopolis-group.com on the economic benefits of #OpenScience and what drives value when research outputs are designed for reuse at scale: plos.io/4rdAxCY

The image is an infographic titled "Open science creates economic value through reuse at scale," by PLOS. It highlights four benefits of reuse: prevents duplication of effort, accelerates research processes, compounds benefits through network effects, and enables reuse across sectors. The left side features a flowchart illustrating reuse from a single research output. On the right, a text box emphasizes that open science can enhance productivity and strengthen long-term performance when done correctly. A final note states, "Publishing is a vital part of the infrastructure that enables reuse at scale.

As far as I know, farm archives have never really been used to track queer histories before. Given they mostly record the financial ongoings on a given farm, you can understand why. However, my year of research at The MERL has proved their potential. Find out more in this blog:

I know I’m a biologist working in reproductive behaviours but sometimes? Sometimes I just need to spend 24 hours without hearing the word “female”. (This is specifically directed at people who say “female” when talking about humans, particularly when they mean to say “woman”)
