  1. A doctoral student recently came with a weird question: their supervisor told them that "examiners would be reassured" by seeing many connections on LinkedIn.
    I have many ethical issues with the framing and with LinkedIn itself (despite having an account there), but I'd love to know from experienced scholars (maybe examiners themselves): how and why would examiners be concerned with my LinkedIn account?

  11. Hey #AcademicFedi I need your opinion on something 🙏

    I was recently asked to review on a platform I did not know: qeios.com

    Anyone knows about it? It did not seem too fishy at a glance but their economic model and who is behind it is not entirely clear to me so I'm a bit wary of potential link with people with an agenda (almost got bitten before).
    So I'm not sure I want to encourage people to use that can of platform instead of, say, @PeerCommunityIn until I know more about them and the guarantees that all the content will not be lost five years from now...

    All opinions, feedbacks, or boosts are welcome 🙂

  16. Phew, managed to read through the proofs of an article today. Was a bit tight, only had 15 mins of working time left. It always tends to take longer than expected.

  22. From a recent post looking for PhD theses databases across Europe, I got lots of boosts (thanks) but only returns from very few European countries. So I wonder : how many active scientists (lets say having published one peer-reviewed paper in the last five years) are on mastodon from the different EU countries ?
    Pools only have 10 choices, so more countries are in the next post 🙂
    please boost mainly on servers with a science theme
    And if I have missed any hashtags that are followed by many scientists, please add

  27. RE: mstdn.social/@junesim63/115849

    I find appalling that West universities are so silent about this, and many still cooperating with Israeli universities, while schools of arts and humanities like the one I'm doing my PhD fill their mouth of "class struggle, decoloniality and [insert your favourite academic leftwing jargon].

  32. Quick question for the #AcademicFedi: I was recently reminded that I have a #ResearchGate account that I haven't updated in such a long time that I was still supposed to be doing a postdoc in Germany...
    So I try to log in, discover that it's using my old German address, switch to the backup address, log in, update the affiliation, and then think "wait, but why am I keeping this"?

    So I ask you: is there any good reason why I should not delete this account?

    Opinion or boosts welcome 😉

  37. Hey academic Fedi,
    I'm regularly thinking that it would be useful to have a tool that helps me find articles that cite a paper to contradict (or at least "contrast") its result.

    It seems that scite [1] does this but they requires a pretty steep subscription given that I'm not sure how reliable their tool is and that they also advertise a chatbot...

    [1]: scite.ai

    Does anyone know of something similar, or a workaround to achieve something similar using standard scientific search engines?

    If you don't know, boosts are also appreciated to help the person who might know see this post 😉

  42. Hello #Fediverse @academicchatter
    I need your help for a privacy-focused local-host (run offline from my computer) transcription software.

    I am (luckily?) collecting more interviews than I planned and transcribing manually is becoming a giant task, so it would really be helpful to have an automatic assistance.

    Any suggestions?
