I think we need a manager with a longer name. These 4-6 letter managers don't seem to be working.

I persuade myself that there's a great team in there somewhere and they just need not do the obviously crap things and settle, and then they keep doing the obviously crap things.... Then I remember how long I have been thinking that 😵‍💫 (Sorry to intrude on your zen vibe) 😐

One of mine was called Hilda, for reasons I don't recall. But I am old enough that it was print only.

A couple of injuries and two of them are banned following a red card. I think they could have called up a couple of the U18s though

I am not surprised. Supreme frustration just from looking at my phone while away on holiday, so can only imagine the feeling of those who paid to witness it.

ReplicationResearch.org is now open for submissions!

Submit replications and reproductions from many different fields, as well as conceptual contributions. With diamond OA, open and citable peer review reports, and reproducibility checks, we push the boundaries of open and fair publishing.

Tracking Shutdown Impact and Changes at PubMed

There's been some panic about PubMed again, since a notice on the website warned it could be out of date because of the US government shutdown. Shutdown is dreadful, in so many ways. But that notice doesn't mean PubMed has been de-funded, or that it's not being maintained. The notice is the same as the one displayed during a shutdown in 2018.

Agree. It's decision making and judgement, not button pushing.

We, editors, don't "count votes", and yes, we may make decisions that differ from your recommendation. And that doesn't mean we "are wrong".

We need good practices for DOI registration for publish-review-curate platforms like @metaror.bsky.social and others.

@andre-brasil.bsky.social and I wrote a blog post about this: doi.org/10.64000/76j...

People who come to my workshops on ai search engines are often frustrated because they want me to tell them which is best. With librarians it manifests as to asking which we subscribe to. Not a bad idea if idea is you trust preferences revealed by actions. But here's the issue . . (1)
