So is this the deal with the new @eLife system:
1- you send your preprint
2- it is reviewed (if they so choose)
3- you eventually upload a final “version of record”
4- you send that version (+reviews) to another journal for publication

Has anyone tried that step 4? Do the “other journals” accept to publish something that’s already been reviewed & published by eLife?

Of course, you could skip step 4 but does having an eLife paper under the new system “count” for your CV?

@elduvelle I think it does. It's the equivalent of f1000 research or wellcome open research paper being accepted past peer review stage.

It's a public statement that the paper has changed to the satisfaction of @eLife reviewers, which in itself is a CV worthy achievement, personally.

United in diversity 🇪🇺

As we mark the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, we renew our pledge to build a more inclusive Europe for all.

Earlier this year, we proposed:

♿ The European Disability Card to be an EU-wide recognised proof of disability. It will enable access to transport, museums, and more.

🅿️ The enhanced European Parking Card to replace national cards and ensure uniform parking rights in the EU.

@EU_Commission This is guarded good news, but it is about disability paperwork, which all disabled people have to deal with quite a bit.

What announcements are there about how accessibility will be extended and improved throughout the EU? How are disabled people being included in leadership in the EU?

Starting my thread with this essay about my books & my cats. I created it a few years ago & keep it updated. It's whimsical, it makes me happy, and it's a good intro to my writing. I hope you enjoy it.

Note: All images in the blog post had alt-text last I checked. Book pages on my site should all have alt descriptions as well. Should. It's a work in progress.

Today in things I'm proud of making: this brand-new blurb graphic for my ongoing series, the Rollover Files.

TL;DR pitch: midlife crisis superpowers. Contains swearwords, moms & teens saving the world, idealism, and good people dealing with bad situations as best they can.

@26aafa19 Great story!
"Since stone carving & installation were the most expensive items for the overall project, the monks decided to tackle that job themselves. This meant learning the whole CNC stone-carving workflow, all about stone cutting machinery, operating CNC machines, CAD modelling, CAM programming, stone masonry & construction techniques...
not without a few disasters..."

Hey, if you're seeing this and you are a published author (indie self-published or otherwise, doesn't matter, so long as you're on fedi) or a writer in general please reply with a link to your work and maybe a gist of what kinda stuff you write.

I'm gonna get some money for the holidays, and since I'm gonna be treating myself to books I don't really need anyway why not support some fedi friends? (consider doing the same too this holiday season) :ablobcatheartsqueeze:

@gavi The Challenges of Being Me is a contemporary young adult that just came out yesterday. This is a coming of age story dealing with the challenges of not knowing who you are, yet still supposed to project confidence about yourself to those around you. I’d be very appreciative if you picked up a copy, or read it on https://www.amazon.com/Challenges-Being-Me-Friend-Group-ebook/dp/B0CLVTG628 @bookstodon

Couverture de l'album à l'italienne relié en cuir rouge et vert, fermé par un ruban de couleur verte. Titre au fer doré sur une pièce de cuir vert, collée sur le plat supérieur de l'album.
Dessin du pont Morand au moment où quatre arches du pont sont emportées par le fleuve. Les piles du pont reposent sur des pieux en bois reliant de manière indépendante chaque arche. Les restes du pont flottent sur les eaux du Rhône. Sur les bords du fleuve, les premiers spectateurs assistent à la catastrophe. Au second plan se dressent les coteaux de la Croix-Rousse.
Dessin du confluent du Rhône et de la Saône, qui montre un paysage composé majoritairement d'îlots. Le pont est traversé par des piétons, des cavaliers te une carriole attelée. À gauche de la composition se situe la pointe sud de la presque-île, avec l'extrémité de l'allée Perrache bordée de peupliers. Au premier plan, deux paysans fauchent un pré sur les coteaux de Sainte-Foy. La commune de la Mulatière est située en aval du pont, tandis que les Alpes sont représentées en arrière-plan.

I’m embarrassed to admit it but …

My whole life I’ve been into geography and yet — after 50+ trips around the Sun — it was like two weeks ago that I learned that Appalachia is pronounced Appa-LATCH-ia … not Appa-LAY-chia 🤦🏾‍♂️

Also, Y’ALL (Young Appalachian Leaders and Learners) apparently got issues with JD Vance’s best-selling “Hillbilly Elegy”

Empirical Bayes shrinks the rating for @neilhimself toward the mean, which is clearly wrong 😜 but anyway, you can see the code here:

Question: what books are really effective at body language or the different little beats in long stretches of dialogue? My current novel is dialogue-heavy, and I'm looking for more examples of how other writers make these scenes memorable.

@emilymbender @Iris Being in AI/data science and having a background in methodology, I miss an epistemological evaluation, besides the question if AI can emerge from language, or what is the big(O) of AI. 1/2

@emilymbender @Iris

Epistemology can be very technical, but modern virtue epistemology is very accessible. It can help to reflect on both the core of the debate, and on the quality of the debate.

Academic culture, inclusivity and the crisis in the social sciences are hotly debated. Virtue epistemology also touches upon that, or on any intellectual endeavor.
