The most important aspect is peer review. At least in physics, journals assign your paper to an Editor (a scientist), that may reject it directly if it is not scientific. If it is, they will send it to another scientist to read the work and (a) suggest rejection, (b) suggest accepting the work directly or © in the most common scenario accept the paper for publication after some revisions. The editor reads the review and the informs the author of the paper accordingly, and the story iterates until the work is fine for the reviewer. There can be more than one reviewer (a.k.a. referee). The editor is what the journal offers, together with some spell checking service before publication. Editors are payed, and referees only sometimes.

There are notable, noble exceptions known as diamond open access journals, like my favourite: the Open Journal of Astrophysics

This is really what I see missing. I am a reader more than a writer on Mastodon, and this is one of the major issues.

Congrats for your work!

Maybe it’s already there, but I’d like to browse other instances without creating an account, similarly to the anonymous view of Eternity for Lemmy.

I’m using the public instance routinely, and it does the job well.

Molto italiano (Stanis La Rochelle)

(Quello di DivestOS, a quanto pare)

Grandi quelli di DivestOS 🧡

Well this is how science works, right? You formulate hypotheses, build expectations and finally test them. For example, the expected influence of more talkative parents would be erased by other factors, like (and this is a mere example) the exposition to sounds in the woumb.

Well, we know this feeling very well here

Love my Era

Ciao! Come funziona il vostro servizio nextcloud?

I’m sure a lot of people will be infinitely thankful!!

I did, last time two months ago. Unfortunately their presentation software is pretty minimal at the moment, and I prefer the fully open ODP standard. Anyways, at the time there was an issue with videos that weren’t playing at all.

I saw a Libreoffice community but wasn’t very active… so I thought here I could find users of the software and experts on the possible technical issue. Hope this doesn’t bother too much.

Un problema profondo, in parte imputabile ad una miope gestione dei limitati fondi a disposizione delle università, è che non c’è un vero sostituto delle risorse umane in contesto accademico. Di fronti a casi come questo - e ahimè succedono ovunque - non ci sono strumenti interni ai dipartimenti che permettano di mantenere l’anonimato di chi subisce e punire il perpetrante. Per questo il comitato ha dovuto tappezzare l’Università: le vie interne vengono sempre usate per minimizzare.

I think it’s right

Edit:

TIL: when saying random numbers, some people think to integers, others to real numbers.

I love sixel! On Konsole it works out of the box, and it’s my main way to work with plots on headless remote machine 😊.

Well Israel won’t complain if people leave Palestine

La cosa che mi disturba è che TEMU si sta diffondendo in ambienti esposti al problema della privacy: alcuni amici informatici e data scientist la usano con soddisfazione.

Kate is my togo. With a terminal panel and latex->Unicode plugin is perfect for julia. I don’t need it, but you can also set up its LSP client.
