Do you have papers or other things published on this subject? I would find it highly useful in studying welfare state development across the globe, especially including the Global South and colonies using enslaved labor. @sfb1342.bsky.social

"Ending publication bias: A values-based approach to surface null and negative results"

Paper out today in PLoS Medicine by many of us who would like to see publication bias reduced or eliminated.

Especially happy that Registered Reports got shout-outs.

'Violence has never been a distortion in American politics. It has been one of its recurring features, not an aberration but a persistent force, destructive and yet oddly creative'
Yes, this is who we are: America’s 250-year history of political violence
The US has long fused politics and violence, often through firearms. To claim that such shootings betray ‘who we are’ is to forget that the US was founded on this form of political violence.

Like the nation state based world system "the scientific system was never built for equity". So it seems unrealistic to expect this. They are inseparable political economies. www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Equity in science is a beautiful lie — and I’m done pretending
Science isn’t really moving towards equity; institutions are just perfecting the appearance of equity. We need to build an alternative system.
