The fruits of following my curiosity yesterday - a little Sunday Study on citations.

https://tlohde.com/blog/2025/06/becoming-irrelevant/

Motivated by @sundogplanets 's post on citing old papers: https://mastodon.social/@sundogplanets/114677909402696290

I haven't checked, because I wanted to do it anyway, but I'm sure someone out there has done this more thoroughly and properly.

A ridgeline plot showing 15 distributions of referenced paper published dates, one every 5 years from 1950-2020. The ridges steadily move to the right as publication date increases. Each distribution is abruptly cut at its rightmost edge, and has a long tail to the left. Over time the distribution becomes less skewed, and flatter (but still skewed)

Open scholarly metadata is actually such a huge mess, especially for monographs, edited volumes, grey lit, i.e. anything that isn't an english STEM journal article.

Which actually explains so much about why the "metascience" scene is how it is....

science is weird, we do our dirty laundry in public. that's politically naive and can be used against us those with political agendas. but I think it's also the source of our epistemic authority, and we should keep doing it. #metascience www.science.org/content/arti...

"Adverserial" reanalyses of regulatory data pose a deep problem for existing methods of adjudicating which science our regulations should be based on

This is, unfortunately, a continually-relevant story about what #openscience and #opendata mean for how we make regulations and come to consensus as a society

Should we allow copying / plagiarism in introductions and methods sections of scientific papers? If the context of the work (intro) or description of some techniques used (methods) are the same as previous work, why write it out again in new words? #science #metascience

A #Metascience Study of the #LowCode #Scientific #Field

We aimed to:
Analyze the composition and growth (e.g., size, diversity, venues, and topics) of the emerging #LowCode #community; and
Explore how these aspects differ from those of the “classical” #modeldriven community.

This covers #ResearchQuestions such as:

Are Low-Code #publications affecting the number of traditional #Modeling publications?
How many Modeling conferences and workshops aim to explicitly attract Low-Code publications?
How are authors distributed across Low-Code and traditional Modeling publications?
How many Low-Code open-source platforms and tools explicitly relate to traditional Modeling techniques?

Lots of interesting insights

Read the post for the full details and/or meet me at the next #STAF #ECMFA conference in #Koblenz next month

Differences in psychologists’ cognitive traits are associated with scientific divides

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41562-025-02153-1

New in NHB

Scientific research is often characterized by schools of thought. We investigate whether these divisions are associated with differences in researchers’ cognitive traits such as tolerance for ambiguity. These differences may guide researchers to prefer different problems, tackle identical problems in different ways, and even reach different conclusions when studying the same problems in the same way. We surveyed 7,973 researchers in psychological sciences and investigated links between what they research, their stances on open questions in the field, and their cognitive traits and dispositions. Our results show that researchers’ stances on scientific questions are associated with what they research and with their cognitive traits. Further, these associations are detectable in their publication histories. These findings support the idea that divisions in scientific fields reflect differences in the researchers themselves, hinting that some divisions may be more difficult to bridge than suggested by a traditional view of data-driven scientific consensus.

How much do *independent* teams of qualitative coders/analyzers converge/diverge when trying to answer one question with one dataset?
