📢 New reviewed preprint, published by @elife.bsky.social at doi.org/10.7554/eLif.... We study two effects in science funding across 14 different funding programmes from 6 research funders across Europe and North America: (1) The Matthew effect; and (2) and the early-career setback effect. 🧵1/8

Illustration of the Matthew effect and the early-career setback effect. An academic, say Alice, first applies for early-career funding in 2015. She received early-career funding, and goes on to reapply for later-career funding in 2020. According to the Matthew effect, the chances of Alice receiving later-career funding is higher when she received early-career funding. Alice showed a high Mean Field Citation Rate (MFCR) before receiving her early-career funding, and similarly a high MFCR in between the early-career and later-career applications. According to the early-career setback effect, had she instead not received funding, her "Between" MFCR would have been higher. We not only study the "Between" MFCR, we also study the MFCR after the early-career application ("Post (early)") and after the later-career application ("Post (later)").

Added context, since polls can only be very short: It seems like a somewhat standard practice now, that editors create reviewer accounts without consent or contact, as a service, so the potential reviewer doesn't have to do it themself. It used to be the opposite. #peerreview #reviewer2

Journal editors create reviewer accounts automatically, with username and password, without prior consent. What are your thoughts on this? 1️⃣ It's a great service, it saves me some hassle. 2️⃣ I don't really care. 3️⃣ It feels icky and predatory. 📊 Show results

Young researchers have embraced AI as an accelerator of their work. If that is to help science rather than damage it, they need careful guidance, say Jens Peter Andersen @ipoga.bsky.social and Serge Horbach. www.researchprofessionalnews.com/rr-news-euro...

The Christian implications of God creating mankind and our Earth, without a mention of other worlds or life in the vastness of the Universe is historically meaningful, but to me, philosophically sorrowful. And as Carl Sagan (in Pale Blue Dot) goes on to argue, grounds for much chauvinism.

Photo of text reading: “Ann Druyan suggests an experiment: Look back again at the pale blue dot of the preceding chapter. Take a good long look at it. Stare at the dot for any length of time and then try to convince yourself that God created the whole Universe for one of the 10 million or so species of life that inhabit that speck of dust. Now take it a step further: Imagine that everything was made just for a single shade of that species, or gender, or ethnic or religious subdivision. If this doesn't strike you as unlikely, pick another dot. Imagine it to be inhabited by”

New preprint finds MANY influential papers are in journals with Impact Factor <15. ~10✖ more researchers have highly influential papers than publish journals with Impact Factor >15. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Impact factor of journals where Citation Elite papers were published. Most papers that are as well cited as those in impact factor >= 15 journals are in fact published in lower-impact factor journals.

Different meanings of "merit": What do elites actually mean when they justify their status with merit? Drawing on interviews in DK and the UK, @samfriedman.bsky.social et al. distinguish UK Talent Meritocrats from Danish Hard Work Meritocrats. This is right down my alley! doi.org/10.1093/sf/s...

🎤 New preprint: "Natural Experiments for Sociological Research" osf.io/preprints/so... In which I review natural experimental designs, their advantages and disadvantages in sociology with a hand-on example. Comments more than welcome.

Introduction of the paper:

Voltaire (1756) famously said “this agglomeration which was called … the Holy Roman Empire was neither holy, nor Roman, nor an empire”. One may say the same thing for “natural experiments”. As we will see below, they are mostly neither natural, nor experiments. Indeed, there is confusion over what a natural experiment is, what a quasi-experiment is, and even what an experiment is. Nevertheless, the number of papers with “natural experiment” in their title has exploded in the social sciences in the last decades (Dunning 2012). The reason for this explosion is that compared with standard observational studies, natural experimental designs have some advantages in getting closer to a causal interpretation of empirical associations. It is thus important to have a good understanding of the concept.

Prepreprint! Family language strategies (e.g. one-parent-one-language) don't explain kids' language exposure, but individual parents' approaches (i.e., using a lang. regularly/sometimes/never) do! Mothers' effect on exposure was 2x fathers' --> gendered caregiving roles. psyarxiv.com/x4jbm/

In addition to running pools, one of the best things you can do is gratuitously repost people’s paper tweets and other content. Especially newer accounts. It adds an important incentive to leave X behind.

The US News and World Report just released their annual College Rankings — and you should ignore them. A reminder that last year their "Chief Data Strategist" somehow admitted in public that every year they screw around with the ranking algorithm until it gives results they like. Source: WSJ.

Even when the information is accurate, some critics say the rankings are corrupted by how the U.S. News data team determines how to weigh each factor.

At a January presentation to law schools, Robert Morse, U.S. News’s chief data strategist, disclosed that he didn’t commit to a particular mathematical model until after receiving schools’ data, according to Ian Ayres, an economist and Yale Law School professor who attended the event. Once that information was in hand, Dr. Ayres said, the team ran simulations giving various factors different weights to see the potential outcomes before deciding on a final method.
