Can AI help identify high-volume, low-quality, “questionable” scientific journals (which some, controversially, call #predatoryjournals )? Authors of this new study emphasize aiding not replacing human evaluators of these journals. @science.org www.science.org/content/arti...
AI tool labels more than 1000 journals for ‘questionable,’ possibly shady practices
New algorithm could help scientists avoid publishing in shady titles

🚨New paper🚨
Open access has expanded science’s reach but also fueled the rise of "questionable" journals. Manual vetting can’t keep pace with thousands of titles and bad actors who adapt quickly. Wrong incentives too strong.
In a new Science Advances paper we ask: can AI help?

Excited to share a new article with Han Zhuang in Quantitative Studies of Science! "Incorporating costs and benefits to the evaluation of uncertain research results," we propose a unified framework for deciding when to continue research, even if it might be wrong 🤯. direct.mit.edu/qss/article/...
Incorporating costs and benefits to the evaluation of uncertain research results: applications to cancer research funding
Abstract. Correctness is a key aspiration of the scientific process, yet recent studies suggest that many high-profile findings may be difficult to replicate or require considerable evidence for verif...
