I don't really participate in scientific literature or journals, but I see a lot of notes in HN around papers that appear to be overblowing the significance of their findings.
Is there a way for researchers to publish 'interesting observations' as just that, something that they measured that may or may not be noteworthy but felt worth sharing with the broader community?
- thebooktocome 5y agoThe traditional solution to this problem is to insert a paragraph in the conclusion saying something along the lines of "this merits further study". However, that particular phrase has been overused in journal articles, to the point that it doesn't mean anything anymore.
- MillenialMan 5y agoIt's not really something researchers can control. I was commenting on the news release, and it being posted on Hacker News, because that's more of an issue.
