With Google Scholar Labs, you can ask research questions in plain language and find relevant papers. 🔎 Now you can save results from Google Scholar Labs directly to Paperpile, complete with contextual summaries. ⬇️ https://t.co/ebVCy0O0FM

💡 Tip for collaborative research: Take the conversation on a walk. Instead of sitting across from each other in an office, discuss open questions while walking with a colleague. 💬 Ideas flow more easily when the setting is informal.

While AI can produce descriptive reviews that summarize existing literature, it still fails significantly in two key areas that define high-quality research: finding all the relevant papers, and handling broad, cross-disciplinary questions that require interpretive leaps, via

Many early-career scientists underestimate the importance of protecting their — and others’ — intellectual contributions, while still participating in the exchange of ideas that science depends on, via @Nature https://t.co/J6nZXc6d81

In science, ideas are currency. They’re shared in hallways, at conferences, in peer review. And sometimes, they reappear—published by someone else first. What do you do when you share an idea with another scientist… and they publish it before you?

@togelius 🗣️ Say what you mean: vague instructions lead to generic output 🔍 Maintain skepticism: you still have to judge sources, spot errors, and verify claims 🎯 Decide what you want: even “simple” tasks involve many hidden decisions 🧠 Learn which model is good at which task, and under

Using AI well is about clear thinking: knowing what you want, saying it precisely, staying skeptical of confident-sounding output, and understanding the domain you’re working in. AI expands what’s possible, but it doesn’t replace judgment, via @togelius

Strong conclusions honor the journey, resonate with the opening, trust the reader, and end with energy, via @ThomsonPat https://t.co/e8n1eMORhX

Academic papers often fall apart at the ending. 📝 The biggest mistakes: introducing new ideas at the last minute, mechanically restating the introduction, or letting the conclusion fade into limitations and disclaimers.

A study found that in 13% of special issues from several major publishers over the past decade, the guest editor contributed more than one-third of the papers themselves. The study authors argue this isn’t just bad optics—it’s a conflict of interest that edges into academic

@busbyj2 🚫 Say no to journals you haven’t heard of 🔁 Decline if a journal asks for too many reviews in a year ✅ Say yes to Revise & Resubmits ⚖️ Pace yourself: decide how many reviews per month you’ll do 🪑Read and write the review in one sitting https://t.co/Ch7JaPgh3m

Peer review is a balancing act. ⚖️ You want to contribute to your field, but not so much that exhaustion turns you into Reviewer 2. How to build a healthy relationship with reviewing that is fair to authors but sustainable for you, via @busbyj2

@StephenBHeard ✨ What did the authors do well, and why? 🔧 If you’d improve something, what would it cost, and why might they not have done it? 🔗 How does this work connect to past ideas and future directions? ✍️ What can you use for your own research or writing? https://t.co/YUwZPtZT2X
