So, I’m not alone… Thank you!

If it kills your cells, it can’t be bad, right?

Reminds me of this website happily reporting that you should eat curcuma because curcumin was shown (?) to be a possible cellular anti-proliferating… 🤦

Some people did, look up the Peer Community Journal. Backed up by more and more organisations.

That’s exactly the goal of Peer Community In: you put your paper on some archive, you ask a “Recommender” to recommend the paper, they select reviewers and the lot, and they decide to recommend or not your paper after some iteration of the process (classical peer review I’d say). Then you can update your paper in a final version, with a kind of stamped version saying it was recommended by XXX (the peer review process is published along as well, I believe).

Sure did, yes!

Never mind, you need to click on “Filter”, select a particular filter and then input your search keywords. Not super intuitive, but it does work.

They said they would use OpenAlex instead, but cannot find a way to use the openalex.org website in any meaningful way. I can’t even search for an article in the database. Am I being thick?

Depends. Many journals in Evolution/Ecology are still free to publish in non-OA. It’s becoming rarer though because many journals are switching to full (paid!) open access.

You don’t really have to. You could save the workspace along with the history of you commands to load it at a later time, and never have a script at all.

The reason nobody really does that (except maybe if they use R once in every decade) is that it’s not really viable in the middle-term. That is because it doesn’t distinguish between failed attempts and actual, final code and so quickly becomes a mess.

Not sure I understand all of it, but the last part about pi not being algebraic made sense to me, at least! Thanks!

Out of curiosity, I guess pi cannot be rational in any p-adic set, right?

Haha, well done!

Well, at least pi is real… Is that little hypocrite of i even rational? Hm?

Well, it does preserve the scientific editing system to a large extand so yes. I would prefer there is no embargo at all, because I’m paid with public funds and I don’t see the point of paywalls, but I get the Government has a to be gentle to the international editing scene to some point.

In France, we are allowed by law to share the final text of any paper for free after a 6-month embargo, whatever the publishing licence we signed.

It highly depends on the field and journals. In my field, most society-run journals are without fees unless you want Open Access.

Oops, silly me. I meant in the Compact or Small cards view.

EDIT : just tested the “Card 2.0” view, which seems an acceptable compromise to me.
