@CarinaCornesse@qoto.org There is also a free #Fediverse alternative to #Goodreads, namely #Bookwyrm.
It is still under construction and the book mentioned above is not yet reviewed there.
The functions are supposed to be similar to Goodreads (which is owned by amazon) and it would be nice if more people used it so that it becomes a real alternative.
An article about Bookwyrm has just been published (in German): https://gnulinux.ch/bookwyrm-der-buecherdrache-des-fediverse

This #OpenAccess article on bibliometric analysis of publications on data integration and nonprobability surveys is so fun!

It's especially interesting to see how @CarinaCornesse & colleagues (Annelies Blom; Joe Sakshaug; Ulrich Krieger) fits as a leader in ideas and @JSurvStatMeth as an outlet for this work.

#WissZeitVG professorale Stellungnahme: jetzt alles auf eigener Webseite https://profsfuerhanna.de/

@bmbf_bund Ok, sehe ich das richtig:
Es gibt keine konkreten Pläne, mehr Dauerstellen an Unis zu schaffen.
Die PostDocPhase darf nur noch 3 Jahre befristet sein.
Wenn man 3 Jahre nach Promotion keine Dauerstelle hat, ist man raus.
Da es außer Professuren kaum unbefristete Stellen gibt und man nach 3 Jahren PostDoc noch keine Habil geschafft haben kann, heißt das: laut Eckpunkte-Papier sind die Wissenschaftler*innen in D nach max 9 Jahren raus aus der Academia 🤯 #IchBinHanna

Just over two weeks left to submit your papers on Innovations in Mixed-Mode Surveys to JSSAM! Details are in the link below.

Further damage to the dysfunctional academic career system in Germany: The government has just presented its reform of the fixed term contract law (#WissZeitVG).
After years of #IchbinHanna protests, the max. length of fixed contracts for postdocs has been reduced to 3 years. The cynical argument: Careers become more predictable, because 3 years after your PhD, it's either professorship, third party funding, or exit.
The lack of a broader tenure track system makes this a devastating development.

In case you missed it! Take a look at "The Visible Cash Effect with Prepaid Incentives: Evidence for Data Quality, Response Rates, Generalizability, and Cost" by Matthew DeBell

"In the two studies, several aspects of data quality were investigated ... no adverse effects of visible cash were detected, and sample composition improved marginally. Effects on survey costs were either negligible or resulted in net savings."

Welcome!

ICYMI! Take a look at "Estimating Web Survey Mode and Panel Effects in a Nationwide Survey of Alcohol Use" by Randal ZuWallack, Matt Jans, Thomas Brassell, Kisha Bailly, James Dayton, Priscilla Martinez, Deidre Patterson, Thomas K Greenfield & Katherine J Karriker-Jaffe

"The study found that ABS-web and RDD were similar for most estimates but exhibited differences for sensitive questions including getting drunk and experiencing depression."
