@johncarlosbaez@mathstodon.xyz who is still using impact factors anyway ? But not prividing access to WoS, for some disciplines this will be a big problem . At least in my case, OpenAlex is still far away from giving an as complete access to available literature as WoS. Doing a thorough literature search will be much more complicated, and largely biased what is available in other databases. And some of the other "free" databases contain so much rubbish, and so little advanced search op...

Aaaaahhhhhh ! One of my favourite papers, which is about the efficient use of water by plants, has just been cited in this sentence &quot;[...] as stress-induced flower or seed abortion is typically irreversible (Brendel, 2021[...]&quot;. There is zero information in my paper about flower or seed abortion. Such wrong citations are actually nearly more the rule than the exception now, but I get §&amp;$%&quot;&amp;% every time : did they not read my paper ? Why cite it then ? Do...

#AcademicChatter Hello, fellow academic chatters. I&#39;m an experimental scientist. And I regularly have the problem of how to organize acquired data by different participants to a same experiment. I&#39;d like to have some feedback of how other people do this. Not necessarily specific computer programmes (such as digital labbooks), but rather how-tos based on robust, basic things, such as text and csv files, folder structures etc. I&#39;m often battling with the workflow which is...
