    181: Down the rabbit hole

    181: Down the rabbit hole

    We discuss how following citation chains in psychology can often lead to unexpected places, and how this can contribute to unreplicable findings. We also discuss why team science has taken longer to catch on in psychology compared to other research fields.



    Here is the preprint that we mentioned authored by Andrew Gelman and Nick Brown - https://osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/ekmdf

    178: Alerting researchers about retractions

    Dan and James discuss the Retractobot service, which emails authors about papers they've cited that have been retracted. What should authors do if they discover a paper they've cited has been retracted after they published their paper?

    177: Plagiarism

    177: Plagiarism

    We discuss two recent plagiarism cases, one you've probably heard about and another that you probably haven't heard about if you're outside Norway. We also chat about the parallels between plagiarism and sports doping—would people reconsider academic dishonesty if they were reminded that future technology may catch them out?


    Here are some of the takeaways from the episode (generated with the help of AI):



    Plagiarism cases can range from minor academic practice issues to more serious instances of copying verbatim
    The detection and punishment of plagiarism can vary depending on the context, such as academic journals or internal university issues.
    The mindset and motivations behind plagiarism can differ between athletes and students, with athletes often driven by intense competition.
    Long-term detectability and the potential consequences of cheating are factors that may discourage individuals from engaging in plagiarism.
    Addressing plagiarism requires a balance between identifying genuine cases and avoiding ideological biases.

    176: Tracking academic workloads

    176: Tracking academic workloads

    We chat about a paper on the invisible workload of open science and why academics are so bad at tracking their workloads.


    This episode was originally recorded in May 2023 in a hotel room just before our live recording of Episode 169, which is why we refer to the paper as a 'new' paper near the start of the episode.

Tackling the PhD process, and a laugh

The show makes it clear that everything hertz in academia, and it is all gonna burn. It also makes you laugh. Included is great tips for doing academia, viewpoints on current issues or controversies and cool guests. The sound quality is good, but Dr. Heathers NPR persona will make you cry.

Great science-podcast!

This science-podcast, hosted by two young researchers, offers both insight and entertainment. The hosts work in psychobiology, but the show should be enjoyable to anyone interested in scientific activities, as they cover very diverse topics such as publishing, writing, software, open-access, career development and "academic horror stories". All wrapped in the semi-psychotic views of two Aussies displaced across the world!
