I didn't manage to take slides of @mollymking's ICSSI talk as I was backlogged with slides from other lightning talks, but I liked her talk on 'mesearch' - research on yourself. Molly has done mesearch, so this was meta-mesearch. The finding that some demographics get a citation boost for certain kinds of mesearch, but others don't, was intriguing.

"Elite" peer review was studied by Daniel Larremore and colleagues using an anonymised dataset from AAAS of 112,000 papers submitted to Science and Science Advances. A few more desk rejects for women authors, but no difference in peer review. Clear preference for work from prestigious institutions: biased or just better? Big teams also do better.

How do different values affect peer review and how do these influence editorial decisions, asks Daniel Scott Smith? Very different reviews can make decisions uncertain.
Across STEM, they find accuracy and novelty are the most important values in peer review reports, social factors (biases) have little effect, and dissensus increases editorial gatekeeping. It doesn't matter if reviewers disagree.

Breakaway and Zombie journals: what happens after mass editorial board resignations. @KyleSiler looks into what happens when a journal and its community separate.
Glossa vs Lingua & QSS vs Journal of Informetrics. Lingua suffered, JoI didn't - but both 'Zombies' published more Chinese studies whereas the European and North American researchers moved to the OA breakaways.

Juan Mateos-Garcia of Google DeepMind wants equitable use of their tools like AlphaFold. They solved protein structure prediction in 2020 and this is helpful for drug discovery, but researchers in LMIC have barriers to adoption.
Used OpenAlex & PDB to study 20.6K papers citing AlphaFold. LMIC researchers are underrepresented, but study of diseases affecting LMICs is overrepresented - esp. work on natural products.

I really enjoyed speaking on the ICSSI conference panel (icssi.org) on junk, fraud, retractions, and paper mills; we got lots of great questions and could have kept going all morning! Thanks to Daniel Larremore for the invite and especially Daniel Acuna for organising and chairing.

A study of "beauty bias" in scientific careers presented at #ICSSI made me uneasy. Scraping faces from Google Scholar, business school websites, and job applicants and using machine learning to rate attractiveness without their consent seems disrespectful, esp. as the names of the "beautiful" institutions (which correlates with school ranking) are released. A small business school might not appreciate being labelled as ugly! 🧵

Here's an ICSSI talk close to my interests: @sjcporter of @digitalscience explains how to find networks of faking by authorship selling schemes.
They're sold on Telegram and Facebook etc. Shout out to @nickwizzo who keeps track of these adverts and the final published papers.

"Helicopter science" and datasets: Sarah Bratt and colleagues studied the use of Global South (GS) data by Global North researchers (in 3200 Scientific Data papers) , using OpenAlex and an LLM, ReFinEd, to identify entities in Geonames.
The % of GS authors on GS data papers has risen, but on papers using GS data only 35% have a GS researcher as 1st or last author.
p.s. Saying "ding" instead of "next slide" was new to me!

Data science can drive innovation, says Abhishek Nagaraj speaking at ICSSI 2024 (icssi.org). For Duracell, a researcher screened 100K compounds to generate a list of 200 candidates for breakthrough battery components.
He dubs these high-value discoverers the "new cartographers", but does science benefit and who benefits?

Patent quality might be measured by being dissimilar to what came before... but similar to what came after.
Adam Jaffe speaking at ICSSI (icssi.org) highlights this suggestion of Kelly et al. (2021).

"The right to search for truth also implies a duty: one must not conceal any part of what one has recognized to be true."
The Einstein memorial at the National Academies in Washington D.C. has a good reminder for all us of in science, apt for the International Conference on Science of Science and Innovation (ICSSI 2024), which starts today.
