"#FactChecking requires the right and ability to find #sources, read widely and interview experts who are free to speak candidly — all as part of a rigorous #methodology and process. (...) Fact-checking is part of a free press and high-quality #journalism, and it contributes to public #information and #knowledge."

From the #IFCN 's "Sarajevo Statement" – which comes at a time when free speech, transparency, and the preservation of information are under massive pressure.

Updated Programming Methodology Framework aka PMF (version 02)

This document describes the Programming Methodology Framework also known under the PMF methodology. The methodology is based on the manifesto written by Zed A. Shaw which describes a natural approach to software engineering with a strong focus on the act of programming. The PMF methodology uses a soft naming to allow for a non-partisan reference to official engineering or project documents describing one of the most used software engineering methodologies.

Here's another article based on a trend I just don't get. Studies that yield negative results tend not to be published, or even submitted for publication. The article refers to such studies several times as "failed" studies.

This runs contrary to the principle I taught my junior high science students thirty years ago. I had them come up with an experimental design, create a hypothesis, perform the experiment, and document their results, just like any science class. The most significant lesson from this process isn't just how to perform and document an experiment; it's recognizing that even if your hypothesis is incorrect, you've learned something about the phenomenon you're studying.

It's hard to believe that the scientific community overall is just realizing the importance of negative or unexpected results. The next time someone studies a certain phenomenon, reviewing negative results tells them what to exclude or control. Otherwise they may unknowingly include factors that have already been shown to affect the results.

www.nature.comIlluminating ‘the ugly side of science’: fresh incentives for reporting negative resultsNew data repositories and alternative journals and workshops offer routes for sharing negative results — which could help to solve the reproducibility crisis and give machine learning a boost.

My current reads: A collection of short stories, which I got because I wanted to have Amal El-Mohtar's story, but which has a fantastic collection of authors. A truly unsettling novel from Hailey Piper (I'm in the final throes of loving this one), which I found through the bookstodon hashtag here. And a book on Indigenous Methodologies that I've been dying to read for a long time, and which has now been released in a much revised second edition, and is going to make for a wonderful reference moving forward (I'm in the initial throes of loving this one, just about 60 pages or so in).

#introduction

I'm a political scientist at FSU. I work on computational methods and experimental design, applied to comparative electoral institutions, state policy, nuclear weapons, and political knowledge.

My most well-known paper addresses the fallacy of concluding “no effect” from “statistical insignificance” and shows how to make a better argument.(carlislerainey.com/papers/nme.)

I have joined already a while ago and haven’t yet written my #introduction :

I am Professor of Political Science and Pro-Rector for External Relations at Central European University (#CEU) in Vienna.

I am interested in comparative politics and #methodology. I study the transformation of political regimes and work on the development of set-theoretic methods, in particular #QCA.

I toot about anything potentially interesting, as a professional hobby vintner also #wine.

#introduction #neuhier
Coming from Literary Studies, I am now head of the Service Center for Digital Humanities (SCDH) at University of Münster. My interests are digital annotation, text analysis, visualization, literature and narratology. I work for #DigitalHumanities, #ComputationalLiteraryStudies (#cls), #dhtheorie, #methodology and #openscience. I am also part of the specialized editorial office (Fachredaktion) of the Zeitschrift für digitale Geisteswissenschaften (zfdg.de/).

#introduction: I'm a medically trained scientific and statistical consultant working on problems in the #epistemology of #medicine & #MedicalResearch. I have devoted particular attention to developing a #methodology for #DoseIndividualization in #oncology #DrugDevelopment.

Although I use #Rstats extensively in my work, my heart is really with declarative programming languages such as #Prolog and #JAGS. Keen to learn #FPGA and build stuff with it!
