Write my submission to a scam journal for me!

I am in awe

[hungry_ghost]

Coming late to the game, could I please suggest "frozen dairy confection" as a generic term for comestible commonly known as ice cream, sherbet, frozen yoghurt, etc?

(This thread reminds me of one on the old fora, ca. Jan or Feb 2013, when I received a solicitation to be included in a book of Outstanding Intellectuals--there surely would have been a fee--and I contemplated a submission in the name of Walter. Walter is my cat. Alas I cannot find that thread.)

It goes to show what you can do with crowd sourcing, if you can interest the right crowd.

[Thursday's_Child]

I too am in awe!  This thread has much in common with many of the best threads from the old Fora.

One quibble, if I may.  The simulated data do not seem to reflect the effects of age differences among the surgical assistants.  While it is possible that a 5 y.o. could accomplish the task as effectively as a 9 y.o., it does not seem probable.  Perhaps a discussion of this would be worthwhile, to prevent the inevitable hyper-critical reviewer from recommending rejection of the paper.

Ah, but it was a within-subjects repeated measures design, so participant effects were controlled for. Also, 5 year olds are speedy when it comes to ice cream.

There is no higher compliment you could pay me!

Indeed. In fact, we long ago reached the point where I don't have the skills to understand, much less evaluate, the claims being made (I'm in the humanities, and although I love math, I never took stats classes.)

Also, if you haven't voted yet about whether I should go forward in submitting the article, please do so soon! Here's the thread: http://thefora.org/index.php?topic=1434.0.

(Spoiler alert: so far it's a unanimous yes.)

[arcturus]

I would like to congratulate all of the co-authors on the brilliant work done so far. And, most importantly, a "thank you" to traductio for providing the inspiring abstract for us to write to, as that laid the foundation for our work, and to Science.Expat for suggesting the crowd-sourced writing. This has been a bit of positivity (and fun!) in a time period of much negativity and turbulence.

[mamselle]

Please, also, do weigh in as to graph suggestions.

If not needed, no issue, but if I should figure out the last piece of the graph, or get some help doing it, that would be cool, too.

Brilliant work, everyone!

OK, I've generated a better bibliography for us, and tried to fit the titles to whatever gibberish we say when we reference them. I'll try to put the further research section together tomorrow, and I'll have to remember to go back when we have a full text to make sure the details here fit there. Feel free to generate better entries if you prefer them; nobody ever said I had a very good imagination.

So cool! (oops, sorry...)

Since, according to this revered source, ice cream may have originated in China, come to the west via Marco Polo, and been disseminated in Europe through the Italian Medicis and their married spouses in France, we might need to have a couple of those references to make the lit review look deeper, thicker, and creamier...

So hilarious.  I love the journal titles.

The Journal of Speculative Neurology ought to be an interesting read, even for a layperson.

Wouldn't it be great to have in a doctor's waiting room?

LOL

It probably wouldn't scare the patients as badly as a copy of Journal of Medical Instrumentation.
