An experiment in conference twitter: an album of a few favorite slides from others' presentations at #ICAE2018. I hope they'll tell a story!

Why do top journals in health sciences prevent us from sharing results before publication, even for articles that will be open access?

In other fields, scientists post working papers and get pre-publication feedback (including via twitter) to improve article quality.

Thread:
Embargoes against sharing before publication, even for open-access articles, make sense to me only for publicity when the paper appears.

The resulting study-a-day media coverage is itself a problem, exaggerating the importance of new studies relative to previous knowledge.
Pre-publication embargoes in pursuit of media coverage seem most common for journals that run ads for lab equipment & materials. They use articles to attract traffic for their journal as a news source, which can make an article's fame & notoriety more valuable than its quality.
Why do researchers agree to comply with pre-publication embargoes? Beats me. I just post all my work here: sites.tufts.edu/willmasters.
The next step after #openaccess and post-publication embargoes could be an end to pre-publication restrictions. If we did that, @chronicle & @insidehighered etc., rather than scientific journals, would be our news sources. Academic twitter & @scholarlykitchn, what do you think?

@lbfd I believe there may be a carbon monoxide monitor indicating dangerous levels at a flophouse located at 528 Golden. OR it might be a smoke detector that needs batteries. photos.app.goo.gl/xbiAFUPQvdqpEi…
I used the Health Department's noise complaint form to file a complaint and then I posted my experience to NextDoor. That's when someone from the neighborhood told me that instead of it being a smoke detector that is NOT functioning because it needs batteries, it may be a
carbon monoxide indicator that is functioning as intended. The photo album to which I linked contains videos on which you can hear the beeping.

This is a portrait of my grandmother taken sometime in her twenties. She was beautiful like a movie star. She was complicated and had a awful early life that she would always say she couldn't remember. She died Thursday night. photos.app.goo.gl/Dke2ZXoiDu632x…
She came up poor during the Depression eating squirrels and opossums with a father who was an alcoholic and a mother who pathologically favored her criminal son.

She did everything she was supposed to. She was valedictorian of her class, but her family had no money for college.
She saw this kind of thing play out over and over with her biological family. Men whose parents enabled them to do whatever they wanted becoming criminals with actual money by stealing inheritances, getting into the drug trade and cheating people.

I'M REAL BUT I'M BEGINNING TO GET INCREDULOUS ABOUT MANY OF EUSTEDES (THREAD) Here's a @googlephotos album of me and my boyfriend hiking Los Penasquitos Canyon Reserve July 9, 2018 photos.app.goo.gl/Pq8gwRude6GU8a…
If you click on any individual photo in the album you'll see an information icon which if you click it, will show you the geo location of the photo. So you can see it really is Los Penasquitos Canyon Reserve. The cover photo is a picture of me where you can also clearly see I am
the same as I appear in my profile photo and in videos I post of myself on my TL. Photos with geoloco and video are just two of the ways I chose to authenticate myself here on Twitter. From here on in I'm going to be looking a lot more closely for authentication signals from

Yeah so things didn't go exactly as planned at @SanDiegoZoo and Safari Park photos.app.goo.gl/pBZFLYauUCfxN2…
@KassandraSeven I shared with U my personal Google Photo album of pics from the San Diego Zoo & Safari Park. There are over 200 photos. I do not expect you to review them all. The album includes a lot of pictures from the Bonzai Garden at the Safari Park. photos.app.goo.gl/r4mRUiNcAGidkF…
I thought the bonzai garden pics might interest you for your art work. You're welcome to download and use any of these pictures for your artwork. Just credit me on the website where the work is sold. I don't need to be credited on the actual product with the pic on it.
