We're joining @authorea to create a place for researchers to write, cite, collaborate, host data, and now publish! thewinnower.com/posts/the-wi…

Hello world! We're scite.ai, a platform that allows anyone to see if a scientific report has been supported or contradicted by subsequent work. We're now OPEN! medium.com/scite/scite-makin… #science #deeplearning #openscience

This is a very cool tool, that classifies citations as supporting, contradicting, or just mentioning in papers. It's available at scite.ai I can't wait to peruse and use. #ASAPBio #openscience #publishing
So... this is cool! Have been working to build a tool that classifies citations as supporting, contradicting, or just mentioning. Go to check my own work and I see a recent publication supporting me! #openscience scite.ai

Just got my beta access to @sciteai . Pretty cool! E.g. here are five studies that confirm different gene phenotypes observed in our P. berghei barseq screen. A language model recognises whether the citations are confirmatory, contradictory or neutral.

The latest episode of the Undark #podcast covers using social media in search and rescue, developing a more accurate way to track citations, and tackling sexual harassment in science. Listen to the full episode here: buff.ly/2I0Y9Zi

Opinion: Thousands of research papers are published each year. Citations are a poor way to gauge their scientific rigor. AI and a network of human experts can do the job. buff.ly/2QsWDEJ

THREAD: In 1980 the New England Journal of Medicine published a letter with the finding: "We conclude that despite widespread use of narcotic drugs in hospitals, the development of addiction is rare in medical patients with no history of addiction." nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NE…

Hello world! We're scite.ai, a platform that allows you to search any research article in order to see how it has been cited, specifically if it has been supported or refuted. Launching soon! #science #reproducibility #openscience

We've built an automatic way to identify if a paper has been supported or refuted. Interested in being an early tester? Sign up here: scite.ai/ #openscience #scholcomm #oa

I want to share a preview of something I have been working on with some amazing folks. In short, we're trying to tackle information overload and information reliability in research. #openscience #startups

"Would a similar ruse work in the world of scientific journal reviews? Would editors and reviewers fail to recognize already-published articles in their own journals by top authors and go on to reject them?" thewinnower.com/discussions/…

Can confirm. The following events happened, in order: 1. I submitted a paper. 2. My wife became pregnant with our first child. 3. My child was born. 4. My paper was rejected. MY WIFE LITERALLY GREW A HUMAN IN THE TIME IT TOOK THEM TO REJECT MY PAPER. teapawt.net/joshmnicholson/status/…
You can have a child quicker than you can report your scientific findings. Maybe this would be okay if peer review was actually effective in weeding out errors but it's not. Paper: nature.com/articles/nature25… Critique on PR: breast-cancer-research.biome…

Is anyone else as super-excited by this concept developed by @sketchscience and powered by @authorea? Tackling science misinformation with the use non-technical illustrated articles (cartoons and memes!) to share on social media. #scicomm #misinformation #pseudoscience teapawt.net/sketchscience/status/9…
We are happy to take our next step and introduce a new publication, the Journal of Sketching Science. Designed to mimic elements of conventional science journals while also adopting more innovative science communication approaches. journal.sketchingscience.org…
