(2/2) A narrative/review article could be created later by connecting these micro-publications like beads on a string. #AcademicChatter

(1/2)To reduce chances of "being scooped" and increase the rate of scientific discovery, should the scope of individual publications be reduced? Rather than developing a narrative from many experiments, we could have a single hypothesis/experiment, and report the result?

@BlagojeSoskic @humantechnopole Congrats! If you want to create a page for your group, you can do so on Labspoon (free). You can show off the culture, customise the appearance, and advertise any open positions. Like so: labspoon.com/group/elsPuCby… Lmk if you have any questions - Craig

Do you just want to hear about funding opportunities in a given research topic and cut out the noise? How about events? Maybe new projects? We've got you covered: Find and Follow research easily. #Academia #AcademicChatter

@AmirSariaslan Building a platform that pays reviewers for their work is easy enough. We could build it along with open source publishing. The problem is that researchers we asked said they would still feel obliged to publish in "high impact" journals. Requires a mass movement to change things?

@AcademicChatter We have built a researcher-specific alternative to Twitter. Free. Uses microsoft academic >700K topics. With enough active users, categorised by these topics, we can set up open source publishing and a peer review system that pays reviewers. Helpful for people?

Rather than sharing a link with your research group, on Labspoon you can bookmark posts directly to your group page. Only members of your group can see these bookmarks. Hopefully this saves you some time. #academia #research

We are creating a platform for researchers that makes it simple to stay up to date, clusters content by topic, and makes updates easier to find. Video below explains. If you think your community would benefit from this, feel free to share. It's also free! Any ideas? - LMK!

(2/2) If you have news about Single Cell Genomics, you should be able to post it to that topic page. If you want to receive updates, specifically about open positions in that topic, you should be able to do so. I can build this system if researchers want? #academia #research

(1/2) When researchers have news about a particular topic, they post it on Twitter, maybe with a hashtag. But hashtags are not concrete enough. Topics should be precise, persistent, and be connected to adjacent topics. That way, one can follow the topic itself for related news

For any given research topic, it is hard to find the latest news from active researchers in the field. We are trying to solve this by categorising researchers, posts, groups, and more by topics. >700K topics so far. E.g: labspoon.com/topic/ydclssMP… Do you find this useful?

@robwilliamsiii We recently made a free-to-use platform that might be able to do this. It's basically Twitter for researchers. All the data (posts, groups, researchers) is categorised by topic. Genetics/Genomics are such topics out of >700K. labspoon.com/topic/ydclssMP… Let me know ur thoughts

@WardOberLab @Owen_lab_UoB You can post this on Labspoon as well if you want. You can customise your group page/show off the lab culture as well. Here's an example: labspoon.com/group/elsPuCby…

Researchers - what is one feature that you wish Twitter would introduce ? Follow people for specific topics? Quickly find co-authors on Twitter? #research #academia

@tlandgraf We recently made a website that lets you create your lab page with just a few clicks. You can customise the display and it's totally free. A couple of examples: labspoon.com/group/SLBH34bI… labspoon.com/group/elsPuCby… Hopefully you find it useful! - Craig

Do you share your thoughts about new research papers outside your lab? Does the fear of competition prevent this kind of collaboration? #academia #research

Do people think that paying reviewers, per paper reviewed, would benefit the research world? And what if everyone just stopped reviewing until that was the reality? #academia #research #publishing #FoodForThought
