Can't imagine this to be the case in econ (and related fields) ... I guess it also shows how different scientific fields can be.

This reminds me of this cool paper by Calcagno et al. that showed that 75% of all published articles in biology are published in the first journal they are submitted to. I guess biologists are (or at least used to be) quite well calibrated:

Do you think that's a good thing? It's the same here in BE; statisticians teaching stats, but I've always feit that's not a good thing because the stats courses are so disconnected from the rest of the program as a result.

Yeah, I just noticed the author has a whole set of papers on this, and the 95% seemed clickbait [and worked]; sorry! :-)

Most people also, obviously, have no club what's going on outstide their own field.

Some fields are probably worse than others, but I think there are at least 2 things going on:
1. Progress: most research looks bad at some point.
2. Scientists being scientists: seeing things that could be better -> our field sucks [more than yours]

Ik weet niet of dat door 'n verschuiving in visie komt dan wel noodgedwongen door veranderde realiteit? Dalende onderwijskwaliteit waardoor zelfs de beste studenten (meer) extra studie nodig hebben om als onderzoeker aan de slag te kunnen + wetenschap die veranderd is (meer vereist vaak).

Ik vermoed niet dat iemand hier verbaast van opkijkt, maar het blijft pijnlijk natuurlijk – opscheppen over je eigen onwetendheid past wel goed in de tijdsgeest.

Vandaag sta ik in De Morgen met een pleidooi tegen de onzin van remigratie.
Lode Cossaer is verbonden aan het Hoger Instituut voor Wijsbegeerte van de KU Leuven. Remigratie is geen beleidsoptie maar een verkoopstrategie, zegt hij. Een simplistische fantasie.
Wie twijfelt aan de onuitvoerbaarheid en onwenselijkheid van grootschalige remigratie, hoeft slechts naar de VS te kijken

Ik denk dat @debiehendrik.bsky.social al gewoon hoogleraar is, maar voor alle andere ZAP gaat het door de besparingen (naar alle waarschijnlijkheid) langer duren om promotie te maken en de impact van bijv. 3j later promotie is over de hele loopbaan best wel heel groot.

I feel bad for you that you're learning all of this :'-)
tbf reading metascience work (e.g. on team incentives/collaboration, the idea of science audits) I do sometimes think some people would benefit from reading some accounting research

Paul, not sure what you're implying, but you know well enough that no serious accounting researcher reads – let alone cites – anything outside of the "top" econ/finance/acc journals.
Unless, of course, whenever there is a need for some vague theory, then psychology or management will do.

Ik heb geen toegang tot Apache, maar we bespraken de opiniepaper van Guest et al. deze week in de leesgroep van onze faculteit. Dat leverde een boeiend gesprek op, maar we vonden toch allemaal dat het maar een zwakke paper was – ja, het is een opiniestuk, maar toch een wetenschappelijk.
Artikel is het lezen waard. De nodige nuance en realisme waar nodig. Niet dat ik het met iedere zin eens ben, maar dat hoeft ook niet.
> Among the signatories is Luc Steels, "the father of AI in Belgium." And he's not the only Belgian scientist supporting the resistance to "so-called 'AI' technologies." Apache spoke with Steels and co. "Universities encouraging students to use ChatGPT? I'm stunned"

Do you perhaps have a link to any such efforts? Or even better, critical discussions of such efforts?
Such repositories likely being a bad idea was 99% my motivation of writing the commentary :-) — "go look for a theory" (in psy/econ) is already some senior researchers' advice in this field.

Yeah, I agree. I also have no problem of pushing back against reviewers. Although in this case, it seems quite clear I'll need to do something to get it published. Taking it to a different journal will only make it harder. As a preprint it will have very little impact. Dilemma's...
