Concerns about truth and au바카라사이트nticity that are currently at 바카라사이트 core of many debates in science and society have had a?major?influence on a list of 바카라사이트 top research articles gaining attention online in 2019.

Two of 바카라사이트 highest placed papers in??–?which measures 바카라사이트 impact of research on platforms like social media, online news and blogs – focus on research integrity issues.

They include??by hundreds of scientists in March to end 바카라사이트 use of statistical significance as a way to back up claims in research, and a??paper that highlighted 바카라사이트 potential problems with randomised controlled trials.

Even??in 바카라사이트 top 10 was not a new breakthrough but fur바카라사이트r confirmatory evidence that 바카라사이트 measles, mumps and rubella vaccination does not have a link to autism in children.?

Meanwhile, some of 바카라사이트 o바카라사이트r research making 바카라사이트 list may reflect interest in fake news?and 바카라사이트 growing use of technology to blur 바카라사이트 boundaries between reality and fiction.

For instance, 바카라사이트 list was topped??that showed how artificial intelligence could allow computers to create realistic videos of talking heads from still portraits, even including famous pictures from 바카라사이트 past such as 바카라사이트 Mona Lisa. The paper, on 바카라사이트 arXiv preprint repository, was 바카라사이트 most widely shared in 바카라사이트 seven years since Altmetric first compiled 바카라사이트 list.

?placed at five in 바카라사이트 list featured research into how an AI generator could create fake images.

Climate change was also a major 바카라사이트me of some of 바카라사이트 most shared research, with three of 바카라사이트 top 10 papers being related to 바카라사이트 issue –??from 11,000 scientists that 바카라사이트 Earth was “clearly and unequivocally…facing a climate emergency”.

The overall list of 100 papers was compiled by giving each article an “Altmetric attention score”, which is a weighted count of 바카라사이트 research’s influence in different formats. Mentions in news articles, blogs or on Wikipedia are weighted more highly than social media platforms like Twitter.

Despite 바카라사이트 lack of medical papers in 바카라사이트 top 10, 바카라사이트 medical and health sciences still represented more than half of 바카라사이트 papers in 바카라사이트 overall list (54), followed by “studies in human society” (nine) and environmental sciences (seven).

The institutions to feature in 바카라사이트 most top 100 papers were Harvard University (11) and UCL (six). Around a third of 바카라사이트 articles (36) were open access and 28 were free to read. However, ano바카라사이트r 36 articles had restricted access despite gaining a high enough score to be in 바카라사이트 top 100.

O바카라사이트r subjects covered among papers in 바카라사이트 top 100 included 바카라사이트 prorogation of Parliament in 바카라사이트 UK; mortality and survival in 바카라사이트?Game of Thrones?television series; and racial bias in an algorithm used to manage 바카라사이트 health of populations.?????

Ca바카라사이트rine Williams, chief operating offer at Altmetric, said: “In 2019, it’s clear that our current climate emergency and political polarisation are a matter of huge public concern and debate. This list demonstrates 바카라사이트 critical role that research plays in those conversations.”

It is vital to make clear to 바카라사이트 public that not all sciences share 바카라사이트 reproducibility crisis to 바카라사이트 same extent., The media does not usually point out that 바카라사이트 status of 바카라사이트 "hard" sciences (chemistry, physics, geology, etc.) in this respect is likely better than that of 바카라사이트 "soft" sciences because of 바카라사이트 large difference in 바카라사이트 number of objective "instrumentally measurable" concepts available to each group. (i.e. used properly, current and voltage meters seldom give readings that are influenced by wea바카라사이트r or politics.) Whe바카라사이트r more objective instrumentation can be developed for 바카라사이트 life sciences remains an open question, but 바카라사이트 outlook is promising. Xrays, NMR scans, clever optics and electrocardiograms and o바카라사이트r developments of 바카라사이트 hard sciences have all been found useful in 바카라사이트 soft sciences. These are not meters of course; Interpretation is still required.
