"Only the Young" is a song written by #JonathanCain, #StevePerry and #NealSchon of the band #Journey. Previously intended for Journey's 1983 album #Frontiers, it was pulled from the album within days of recording in favor of songs "Back Talk" and "Troubled Child". It was then sold to the band #Scandal, who released it in 1984 on their album #Warrior, as the first commercially released version of the song.

Loon call contest photo assignment is mission complete. There was a little girl named Charlotte from Anchorage, Alaska who was actually pretty good. Now, a road jam for the trip back to the office.

I worked with @eleonora_amianto a while ago on a project named "below58BPM". The project is an interface that allows singers to monitor their heartbeat and use voice effects to keep performing while releasing a little of their stress level during a performance. The study is published in #frontiers in computer science as part of my PhD project @unipd @deiunipd @raul , more info here - https://chihauccisoilconte.eu/b58bpm.html - #uidesign #HCI #frontiers #research #uxdesign #accessibility #research #design #wearable #softelectronics #midi #pulsesensor #esp32 #arduino #puredata #audio #singer #liricalsinger #splitpicture

We were surprised by a recent
#Frontiers
blog. They make derogatory statements, accuse us of data manipulation & mischaracterize our comms with them.

Critiques of our work are welcome. Falsehoods about us and our work are not. Here we set the record straight.

I'm grateful to authors who take the time to write up their stories of mistreatment by #journals and #publishers.

The publicity can help in their own cases. It can help unknown authors who didn't have the same freedom to publicize their experience. It can help raise standards in publishing.

Here's #BobUttl on the shabby and unprofessional behavior he faced from the journal, #𝘍𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘗𝘴𝘺𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘺.

I once sent an submission to a #Frontiers journal, I can't recall the name, something to do with #soil. It was obviously me being obnoxious. I wrote a short proposal that I scientifically proved dog shit made grass grow faster by careful observation of dog shit in my backyard as opposed to no dog shit in my front yard, resulting in empirical evidence that dog shit makes grass grow. They responded! They were interested in my "findings." I just had to pay $4000 for publication. @academicchatter

Me, designing a diagram for my paper: Oh no, isn't the angle of this arrow misleading? Do I really have enough evidence to make the outline of this enzyme a dashed line?!

Guo et al. and all the reviewers and editors at #frontiers: Bah, what even is a membrane? Nobody knows, nobody cares.

I know we are all laughing at the rat balls... but it's the "signaling pathway" that gives me existential anxiety. Why are we even trying?

Too many ppl taking the wrong lessons from the three-balled rat "AI" generated #frontiers paper. The problem isnt "predatory publishers" or that one person didnt peer review hard enough. The problem is that we actively construct a system where companies make billions of dollars selling prestige vouchers academics have to buy to survive. If the for-profit journals didnt make the system a game, there would be nothing to play.

Frontiers is a symptom. Science, Cell, Nature, and the prestige treadmill they exploit us with is the disease.

The strain on scientific publishing :

The publishing sector has a problem. Scientists are overwhelmed, editors are overworked, special issue invitations are constant, research paper mills, article retractions, journal delistings… JUST WHAT IS GOING ON!?

Myself, pablo, @paolocrosetto and Dan have spent the last few months investigating just that.
