Today at 4-5:30 pm CEST we look forward to talking about "Using Git for More Than Code", together with #ReproducibiliTea in the HumaniTeas co-organiser, Denis Arnold. This is certain to be a 'commit'-ment you won't regret!

Before any of you start to 'fork' out excuses about how little you know about #Git, let me 'pull' you in with this - no prior knowledge is required, so please don’t 'stash' your enthusiasm!

Join us TODAY 4:00–5:30 CEST for #ReproducibiliTea in the HumaniTeas at the University & City Library of Cologne or online for a session in which we ask "Are most published research findings false? Do we have replication crisis in the humanities?".

Our guest speaker today is Clara Stumm from the University of Bonn. Clara will share her personal insights into conducting a replication study in #linguistics and will launch us into a tea-infused discussion on #Replication and #OpenScience! 🫖

@whvholst That sucks! A relative had the same issue in the UK but luckily they could get them changed with a subsidy. I would have hoped that Germany would have had a similar programme as this is a very serious health issue.

I just did some primary-school level investigative work using Google Scholar to find out whether the use of generative #AI is genuinely a widespread issue in #AcademicPublishing and, within five minutes, I have cause for despair... 😲 #AcWri #AcademicChatter

Extract of one of the published papers. I have highlighted this passage: It is important to note that while I strive to provide accurate and up-to-date information, I am an AI language model and cannot replace the advice of a qualified healthcare professional. If you have specific questions or concerns about the use of Depakine Chronosphere or any other medication for epilepsy in children, it is best to consult with a pediatric neurologist or an appropriate healthcare provider who can evaluate the individual case and provide personalized recommendations.

If I had nothing better to do this evening, I could find many, many more instances of #AcademicPublishing junk with my not-so-sophisticated detective work... 😭 #AcademicChatter @academicsunite #GenerativeAI

Google scholar search for "Certainly here's" showing dubious papers.
Screenshot from the HTML version of a paper from science direct containing the string "Certainly, here's a brief discussion of each part of the process". https://doi.org/10.1016/j.anucene.2023.110260

@academicsunite @nicolaromano You will find there are half-a-million papers about #GenerativeAI that quote GTP outputs but still there is a lot of junks out there!!

@jhamre @lowrankjack @academicsunite Oh but that’s using advanced investigative methods! 🙃

Are any of you aware of places (in the UK or Germany) that offer week-long beginner craft courses (currently thinking about pottery but open to other suggestions) for beginners? Maybe even with accommodation and full-board?

For teaching purposes, I am looking for a or paper that was written in or and for which data and code are available in . The simpler the analyses, the better. Looking forward to your suggestions! Self-promotions are explicitly welcome!
