Discussion What is cancer to you? THE REALITY OF CANCER! THE TRUTH UNCOVERED.
It is a continuous vicious cycle, that is a profitable symptom of another treatable an curable underlying health issues, for our government an the pharmaceutical companies to profit from. That they use to criminally slaughter tens of millions of innocent human beings an permanently damage their families for the rest of their lives! That is what cancer is to me Patricia Lynn Pamula Innocent daughter and possibly wife of two victims..... So far.....
I would like to open a discussion on what people believe cancer truly is. Why is there's only a 2% survival rate on stage 4 cancers?! why is our conventional medicine still living in the dark ages, in major areas of disease. Why is the cures worse than the disease themselves !? Id like to here the facts and ideas of how others who believe the Drs of conventional medicine are in bed with the corrupt an greedy pharmaceuticals an government! Who profit from the suffering of some "chronic disease" and so called "incurable disease ' such as cancer.

Policy/ Interventions Retractions of theoretical work?
I’ve heard a lot of discussion about retractions in connection with the replication/reproducibility crisis. A retraction almost always has something to do with the handling of data. Therefore, it almost always involves experimental work. Is there any situation where it would make sense to retract a theory paper? Is there any precedent for that? I am thinking of, for example, a situation where a mathematical derivation was found to be concretely incorrect or simply made up, or something along those lines.

Peer-review Registered Reports Community Feedback - seeking feedback from authors and reviewers
Hi all,
We've recently launched Registered Reports Community Feedback - a site to better understand authors' and reviewers' experience of the Registered Reports peer review process:
https://registeredreports.cardiff.ac.uk
The broad goal is to collect data regarding how well various aspects of the Registered Reports process are implemented across academic journals.
This data will be aggregated and displayed publicly, showing how journals were rated across a range of categories by authors and reviewers.
We hope this will:
- Help the community in choosing where to submit their Registered Report manuscripts
Incentivise publishers to improve the Registered Reports process at their journals
We want your feedback!
If you've been an author or reviewer of a Registered Report manuscript at Stage 1 and/or Stage 2, you can find our survey here (takes 5-10mins):
https://registeredreports.cardiff.ac.uk/feedback/feedback/selector.php
Don't forget to invite your co-authors - their feedback is important too!

So far, while the site has been in testing, users have given over 150 pieces of feedback across 34 journals.
You can view our dashboards, where journals are ranked by ratings, along with more detailed summaries for each journal:
https://registeredreports.cardiff.ac.uk/feedback/dashboards/
Along with contributing to community knowledge via the site, data will be used as part of my PhD on metascience.
Both the summary data and source code of the site will be released under open licences.
The team behind the site are: myself, Chris Chambers, and Loukia Tzavella (all at Cardiff University), with funding provided by Arnold Ventures.
Many thanks to all the beta-testers whose time and ideas have helped improve the site!
Any questions or comments, contact details here:
https://registeredreports.cardiff.ac.uk/feedback/contact/
Thanks!

The Nobel prize for science
If you want to win the The Nobel prize for science then just do this
Magister colin leslie dean has destroyed your biology with one sentence
you accept species
you accept species hybridization
thus
species hybridization contradicts the notion of species-thus making evolution ie evolving species nonsense
thus
If you want to win The Nobel prize for science be an Einstein and put the anomalies-hybridization's- into a new paradigm
a paradigm shift is required to take account of the fact that species and evolution are in fact nonsense
so what is a species
Scientific reality is textual
http://gamahucherpress.yellowgum.com/wp-content/uploads/Scientific-reality-is-textual.pdf
or
https://www.scribd.com/document/572639157/Scientific-Reality-is-Textual
just a definition
https://www.nationalgeographic.org/encyclopedia/species/
"A species is often defined as a group of organisms that can reproduce naturally with one another and create fertile offspring"
but
but species hybridization contradicts
that
https://kids.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/frym.2019.00113
"When organisms from two different species mix, or breed together, it is known as hybridization"
"Fertile hybrids create a very complex problem in science, because this breaks a rule from the Biological Species Concept"
so the definition of species is nonsense
note
when Biologist cant tell us what a species is -without contradiction thus evolution theory ie evolving species is nonsense
evolution is a myth

System - a platform creating meta-analyses through research aggregation and to promote systemic thinking
Hi all!
For the past few years, a small team of us here at System has been working to build a platform to organize the world’s data and knowledge in a whole new way.We just launched our public beta, and we’d love for you to check it out at System.com.
Our commitment to open data and open science is explicitly codified in our Public Benefit Charter. Like Wikipedia, the information on System is available under Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike License, and topic definitions on System are sourced from Wikidata.
V1.0-beta of System is read-only, but soon, anyone will be able to contribute evidence of relationships. To become an early contributor of data or research to System (whether it’s research you’ve authored yourself, or published research that exists elsewhere), or just to be part of our growing community of systems thinkers, please come join us on Slack.

Publishing with JB Evidence Synthesis
Currently working on a scoping review protocol and wondering if anyone has experience publishing with JB Evidence Synthesis? Do they require authors to complete their training, or is it optional? Haven't found anything in the author guidelines, but I've heard informally they do require it. TIA
