    1. Qualitative Research is primarily exploratory research. It is used to gain an understanding of underlying reasons, opinions, and motivations. It provides insights into the problem or helps to develop ideas or hypotheses for potential quantitative research.
    1. sci-hub is a service that lets you access research papers for free. It’s not quuiiiiiiiiite legal, but buying papers is super expensive, like fifty dollars per paper. Not something I can afford, and I think the entire industry is evil anyway.

      Good point on the research industry & Sci-Hub

    1. First things first, I am new to emacs and the eco system so there are packages I’m not aware of.

      emacs is pretty much an operating system. This makes it infinitely configurable and hard for new comers to grok.

    1. Dr. Julie Schwartz Gottman, John was also the Executive Director of the Relationship Research

      Affective Software, Inc. with his wife, Dr. Julie Schwartz Gottman, John was also the Executive Director of the Relationship Research Institute. He is Professor Emeritus of Psychology at the University of Washington, where he founded “The Love Lab” at which much of his research on couples’ interactions was conducted. To read more about Dr. Gottman’s research, check out this page for interesting questions and

    1. Simulations show that for most study designs and settings, it is more likely for a research claim to be false than true.
    2. There is increasing concern that most current published research findings are false.

      The probability that the research is true may depend on:

      • study power
      • bias
      • the number of other studies on the same question
      • the ratio of true to no relationships among the relationships probed in each scientific field.

      Research finding is less likely to be true when:

      • the studies are conducted in a smaller field
      • effect sizes are smaller
      • there is a greater number and lesser preselection of tested relationships
      • greater flexibility in designs, definition, outcomes and analytical modes
      • greater financial and other interest and prejudice
      • more teams are involved in a scientific field in chase of statistical significance

    1. Ebbinghaus is also largely credited with drafting the first standard research report. In his paper on memory, Ebbinghaus arranged his research into four sections: the introduction, the methods, the results, and a discussion section. The clarity and organization of this format was so impressive to contemporaries that it has now become standard in the discipline, and all research reports follow the same standards laid out by Ebbinghaus.

    1. But recent events have made me question the prudence of releasing this information, even for research purposes. The arrest and aggressive prosecution of Barrett Brown had a marked chilling effect on both journalists and security researchers.
    1. This all comes as part of a wider global shift towards more open research practices, and the geochemistry community needs to make sure it is engaging widely with these, as well as connected issues like research integrity and reproducibility, if it is to maintain its relevance in the modern research age.
      • Prinsip utama yang patut menjadi pegangan para peneliti/dosen masa depan adalah: keinginan pribadi (self-driven initiative) untuk menyebar-luaskan berbagai hasil risetnya secara luas.

      • Untuk itu teknologi digital dan internet harus dimanfaatkan dengan maksimal. Seringkali dosen/peneliti melupakan hal ini, bahwa internet ditemukan untuk mempercepat dan memperluas penyebaran ide.

      • Integritas riset dan reprodusibilitas adalah dua nilai yang perlu ditonjolkan agar relevan dengan kemajuan era internet, bukan hanya menonjolkan nama jurnalnya dan JIFnya.

    1. Research in Educational Technology

      This textbook, published by the Oklahoma State University Library ePress, contains a chapter which summarizes the main views of knowledge in educational technology research, including postpositivism, constructivism, advocacy, and pragmatism, as well as each view's research traditions. The chapter suggests an approach to evaluating research articles through the lenses of a consistent learning theory coupled, methodologies that support that learning theory, and the conclusions that are drawn by the researchers supported through their methodologies. This chapter would help educators evaluate how and why they might include technology into their course curriculum. Rating: 7/10

    1. Ways forward

      The shift from "review article" to "research proposal" article uses a format that I've been trying to promote for quite some time: the call to research format.

    1. Social media research ethics faces a contradiction between big data positivism and research ethics fundamentalism. Big data positivists tend to say, ‘Most social media data is public data. It is like data in a newspaper. I can therefore gather big data without limits. Those talking about privacy want to limit the progress of social science’. This position disregards any engagement with ethics and has a bias towards quantification. The ethical framework Social Media Research: A Guide to Ethics (Townsend and Wallace, 2016) that emerged from an ESRC-funded project tries to avoid both extremes and to take a critical-realist position: It recommends that social scientists neither ignore nor fetishize research ethics when studying digital media.Research ethics fundamentalists in contrast tend to say,You have to get informed consent for every piece of social media data you gather because we cannot assume automatic consent, users tend not to read platform’s privacy policies, they may assume some of their data is private and they may not agree to their data being used in research. Even if you anonymize the users you quote, many can still be identified in the networked online environment.
