  1. 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 🙂

  2. 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 😉

    "To try to prove our own brilliance scientifically (before we are replaced by machine learning) is a challenge few editors would be able to resist, and we were no different. We thus set out to test our ability to predict citations of unpublished research papers submitted to The BMJ."
