@grumpy_rn @LessCrime @DavidBuil @AmyNivette IMO the winning strategy that defines science is to invite and appreciate criticism. So if you dislike criticism and you’re here for ingratiation, you’re in the wrong profession, is what I’d say to someone (not meant toward you ).

In my experience, not many peer reviewers sign their reviews. I can see it could provide useful context for authors making revisions. Before I start doing it, are their any arguments against it? cc @DavidBuil @SJacques83 @AmyNivette I’d be interested in your views.

@grumpy_rn @LessCrime @DavidBuil @AmyNivette My friendly amendment: signed reviews undermine honesty, but that’s because we perceive authors as bad people and we have a vague fear of retaliation. If the perception isn’t true, we should sign? If it is true, that’s a bigger problem we should address head on?

@JukkaSavo @chrisuggen It is great to see replications in this way. It takes many studies to establish anything, so this is as it should be. We simply need more replications more generally.

Highly influential study in criminology fails to replicate and proves not-so-robust. In theory, this should reduce future citations to the article as showing causal evidence of employment effect, but time will tell ... h/t @chrisuggen onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Interested in a postdoc position in Oslo? We need someone who preferably knows a lot about data, but also criminological stuff. We're pretty good, but would be delighted if someone more talented than us applies: 2411.webcruiter.no/Main2/Recruit/… The project leaders are super nice.

This is worth reading! To the extent I've seen positional statements in papers, I tend to just skip them. My interest is whether their evidence and arguments hold. To that end, positional statements are uninformative, and potentially misleading.
Jukka Savolainen@JukkaSavo

#Positionality statements do not belong in the research literature. This is what my coauthors and I argue in the article published in Perspectives on Psychological Science. @PsychScience Our objections to this growing practice are three-fold (1/6). journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.117…

@BenjaminSpivak The latter. FWIW, I understand positivism to be shorthand for logical positivism of the Vienna Circle and its verificationist theory of meaning. If you're a falsificationist, you're anti-positivist. We're all falsificationists, more or less. @grumpy_rn ?

In criminology, does anyone actually identify as a positivist or is it just used as a strawman and term of derision for anyone conducting a quantitative study?

Vi, ⁦@grumpy_rn⁩ , oppsummerer og kommenterer svarene fra LINK og rektoratet: 1) det finnes ingen kriseberedskap for pedagogiske utfordringer ved UiO 2) LINK vil ikke bidra 3) skoleeksamen kan løse ChatGPT-problemet på kort sikt uniforum.uio.no/nyheter/2023/0…

@bjornhoyland Ser nå at European University Association har en uttalelse om chatGPT som sier ingen verdens ting: eua.eu/downloads/publ… Bortsett fra at man må ta det på alvor og ikke forby... Mer trivielt kan man knapt få sagt det.

Sammen med ⁦@grumpy_rn⁩ etterspør jeg tydeligere, praktisk orientert, pedagogisk lederskap og støtte fra rektoratet og LINK. De må komme på banen med reelle løsninger for relle utfordringer knyttet til vurdering i lys av chatGPT ⁦og lignende verktøy uniforum.uio.no/nyheter/2023/0…

UiO bør bli mer fremoverlent og ha en beredskap for undervisning når det skjer omveltninger! @bjornhoyland og jeg er veldig tydelige i dette innlegget.

By the way: I also think I make a minor contribution to how to do exploratory group-based trajectory modelling in criminology: use time since onset rather than age, plot everything and add some descriptives. Full script here: osf.io/pbkyw

I've just published a comment on late blooming criminal careers: link.springer.com/article/10.100… A few theories claim it is not a meaningful category - but without defining it, so hard to refute. While I comment on Matsuda et al, it is sort of directed elsewhere.
