Citation practices suffer from systemic biases that can distort the academic record. Researchers often rely on a narrow canon of highly cited publications as cognitive shortcuts for identifying authoritative work, a phenomenon related to the Matthew Effect.

Daniel's useful take on alternatives to the OSF for data storage. We at @manylanguagesc.bsky.social will also pivot to a combination of Github and Zenodo.
New Blog post: Which Data Repository Should you Use?
In light of OSF closing down, I compare Zenodo, Dataverse, ResearchBox, PsychArchive, and local repositories on six important dimensions. If you want to know which to pick: It depends!

representativeness is a big issue for BTS.
our argument is backed by a new study, from Cindel White & @michael.muthukrishna.com: "more highly educated ppl are significantly more culturally similar to WEIRD countries, such as the Anglosphere and Western Europe." www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Dear exp linguist, for my advanced stats class, I am looking for articles that
- are experimental linguistics-ish
- report on linear mixed models that did not converge with the intended random effect structure (using lme4)
- published open data and scripts
Please @ me, I would appreciate it!

One of the major extrinsic hurdles to increasing outreach for @manylanguagesc.bsky.social has been structural and institutional requirements for potential collaborators to be `first authors' and/or 'last authors' for them to even be considered candidates for positions.
