When publishers push AI “reading assistants” message is clear: don’t bother reading. On top of don't-bother-writing attitude I see in reviewed papers, my feeling is that we are losing the very essence of #science.

Language in scientific writing is a mirror of academic culture. This editorial is a timely reminder that careful, precise, and balanced expression strengthens scholarship. Yet too many papers today are framed like product branding rather than contributions to knowledge.

Wonderful editorial from our colleagues about why self-promotional language should be avoided in scientific articles.
Self-promotional language may attract readers but is discouraged in Communications Psychology. Because style matters in fostering credibility.

Phantom feelings in lost limbs present a puzzle for neuroscientists who were taught to believe that once a body part is amputated, another body part will creep into its spot on the brain’s map of the body.
A new imaging study undermines that theory. https://scim.ag/45SInZQ
