The science blog archive Rogue Scholar this week started supporting versioning of blog posts. This is a core feature of the InvenioRDM repository platform used by Rogue Scholar, but Rogue Scholar uses DOIs from Crossref rather than DataCite, the default DOI registration agency for InvenioRDM.

We recently posted a preprint criticizing the idea of Type S and M errors (https://osf.io/2phzb_v1). From our abstract: “While these concepts have been proposed to be useful both when designing a study (prospective) and when evaluating results (retroactive), we argue that these statistics do not facilitate the proper design of studies, nor the meaningful interpretation of results.” In a recent blog post that is mainly on p-curve analysis, Gelman
Repurposed Appalachia In a narrow hollow north of downtown Kimball sits one of McDowell County’s most intact company stores. The Houston Coal Company Store, later known to locals as the Koppers Store, anchored daily life for the Carswell mining camp and still reads clearly as an early twentieth century company showpiece.
