So many publications are not worth reading.

Im all in for a revolution of science.

No more bullshitting. No "800 words" required.

If youre able to explain something in 5 sentences and put a table and plot with the results. Do it. No need to elaborate in 5 pages how fucked up your ability is to use thesaurus for synonyms.

Edit. Usually i read the headline and put the article into my bibtex library.

Agreed. The worst part to write for me are always the fucking "introduction"s, explain why we did this, why it deserves your attention and a lot of addedd fluff. I did it because I wanted to. Read it if you are interested, go away if not.

I had this problem for my bachelor thesis. I used some other paper about machine learning and changed some parameters. Others I didn't touch because I didn't knew what they do. Now I have to explain why I copied those parameters. I just wrote in testing they proved to be the best.

Yes I totally agreee.

5 pages?!??! In my discipline, we spend five pages just kissing reviewer 2’s behind and begging people to take an interest. Then we spend 20 pages citing everyone and their adviser and their adviser’s second cousin on the off chance that they’re married to reviewer 2. Then you get a copy-paste of the documentation of one of the five datasets that everyone uses.

Ive read about such stories. Must be awful.

Im sorry for you. That really sucks.

Well, sometimes I get to read the abstract and the conclusions. And then I get a deserved week off.

[-] weariedfae@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

Don't forget the first thing you do!

Skim the figures.

[-] Engywuck@lemm.ee 1 points 8 months ago

True, true.

I read the summary of the abstract that a journalist with no science degree wrote.

I read abstract.

I asked ChatGPT to summarize the article and write my essay about it.

-- Thank you

I've added it to zotero. I'll read it later when I have time

[-] sid64@lemm.ee 2 points 8 months ago

Don't do this to me.

[-] bleistift2@feddit.de 2 points 8 months ago

I skimmed the headline.
