Yes, I had a personal subscription a while back because I was trying it out to see if it was worth it. It used to be the only tool that would search clinicaltrials.gov entries and pull them into screen and I had a team working on metaresearch. The team hated it.

My pet theory is that there's one plastic surgeon Trump gets kickbacks from to do everyone and the women just go because it's cheap and he told them to. It's like the Florsheim shoes or whatever for the men. Ritual humiliation and submission.

I think metaresearch can be a very helpful position to adopt towards one's own disciplinary traditions and practices, but it's also worth taking this risk seriously given the people promoting it.

Discussions like this need to take place openly, not behind the closed doors of traditional peer review.
Of course all colleagues in the metaresearch community are very much invited to follow Daniel's example and submit their work to MetaROR for an open evaluation by colleagues in the community.

Afternoon ROLE sessions continue: first, @kellykendro.bsky.social & @reycabreraperez.bsky.social on systematic terminological review as a methodological approach to metaresearch, and Vilani Rajapakse on individual differences in picture naming RTs amongst bilinguals
ROLE conf started now! You can still register and join — and presentations will be online! We started with an inspiring intro by Dani who stated that our research must reflect a reality where mobility, migration, and multilingualism are the norm
en route to Mexico City for the 3rd ROLE Conf; looking forward to presentations rethinking categorization across languages & borders
it’s not too late to register for the online Friday symposium www.rolecollective.org/events/3rd-r...
(we’ll have trilingual interpretation: English&Spanish to ASL)

What AI is a good tool for, IMO, are idea generation, and what i call a "metaresearch" -- finding the places where you can do the actual research. It also can draw background objects and stuff like that, but it's all for now.

🎯 Our goal is simple:
💬 Build a stronger culture of sharing in clinical research.
👩🎓 Train a new generation of young researchers who practice the value of openness and rigour.
📈 Improve public trust in science.
