Thanks for your input. Right, people tend to bring these up on Facebook, but it's typically a scattered discussion. Are there any Facebook Groups in particula

  No, I just know that a few research groups have discussions on their FB group. I guess the problem is that articles are very specialised, and so the number of people you can discuss with (and that are interested in doing that!) is quite small. So probably most of the discussion happens via closed communications means (vis-a-vis chat, email, ...) Of course very high impact papers are an exception with regards to that.

    Interesting article. What I have in mind is the instances when I read a paper (read: dozens of papers on a refined area), the methods section leaves out 10-99% of the details, and I spend significant time and effort searching for the details if they exist at all anywhere.
