"Here, we compile a dataset of ~1.6 million profiles on Google Scholar to examine instances of citation fraud on the platform. (...) Intrigued by a citation-boosting service that we unravelled during our investigation, we contacted the service while undercover as a fictional author, and managed to purchase 50 citations."

#NeuroMethods question:

What is the smallest optimal distance between independent #Tetrodes in dorsal CA1 (so that you don’t record from the same neuron in adjacent tetrodes and also movement of one doesn’t influence the movement of others)?
Say, using 12.7 μm diameter wire?

In Chicago, fewer than 4% of DUI checkpoints are in majority white neighborhoods, but 25% of drunk driving accidents are in white neighborhoods. 🙂🙃

In California, fewer than 1% of drunk driving arrests come from checkpoints.🤦🏿‍♂️

Cops are using DUI checkpoints as an excuse to stop Black drivers, then searching them and arresting them for other things. Because policing in America. Because racism.

Figure 3 on the citation concentration index, or c2-index for short, is quite interesting.

Ever wanted to do spatial clustering of orign-destination (OD) data? Well you may want to now! University of Leeds Institute for Transport Studies (ITS) and Alan Turing Institute PhD student Hussein Mahfouz has created this early-stage visualisation of spatial clustering of these zone-zone flows 🏗️ Case study of #Leeds. Looks beautiful AND useful 🎉

You’d be surprised at how much science runs on computers from the 80s and 90s held together with gaffer tape and hope
