For a change in the peer-reveiwing as an urgent need?
With an increasing number of Journal and other publication, the review by peer started to be difficult and very often nonqualified reviewers are solicited.

How can deep learning architectures be designed to improve generalization under limited or noisy training data while maintaining robustness and interpretability?
Deep learning models have achieved remarkable performance across domains such as computer vision, natural language processing, and scientific modeling. However, challenges remain in areas including generalization beyond training distributions, interpretability of learned representations, and robustness to noisy or limited datasets. I am particularly interested in understanding which architectural innovations, training strategies, or theoretical insights have shown the most promise in...

Do violations of basic ethical principles in research invalidate the results of a study?
I'm working on an ethics workshop for MSc-level anthropology students on the topic of 'Ethics in the Research of Contemporary Populations'. The question posted here will appear at the end of the class, and I would love to show the students as many answers as possible from scientists. Additionally, if the responses demonstrate significant interest, I will consider public dissemination on social media, so please reply anonymously.

Is email response latency associated with perceived social status and stress hormone levels?
The idea is that taking a little more time to reply might suggest a higher status, showing confidence and calm, while quicker responses could indicate feeling pressured or stressed. This connection between digital behavior, social interactions, and our body's responses is quite fascinating.

When the policy exists to share postprints freely on personal sites, why do researchers often refrain from doing so, and what incentives or constraints drive that hesitation?
There has been extensive discussion about the funding model for research publications. Large publishing houses do not fund research themselves; instead, they charge substantial subscription fees or open-access publishing fees. Keeping articles behind paywalls can impede open science and broad access to knowledge. Nevertheless, many publishers grant authors the right to share postprints of their papers immediately on their non-commercial personal blogs or websites. Despite this permission,...

What is the most important part of a scientific article? Let's approach this seriously!
I read a question asking what is the most important part of a scientific article. As far as I can see, we have all gone crazy. The most significant part of a scientific article is… simply ALL OF IT. By the way, nobody has commented on the REFERENCES. Or is a copy-paste enough?
Pings FAQ
What is a Ping?
A Ping is a single science-based question. The question comes from a fellow SciPinion Expert who is seeking input from the expert community. All participation in this service (i.e. asking or answering questions) is voluntary and anonymous if you prefer.
Can I post a Ping?
Yes, all SciPinion Experts are able to ask questions for the expert community to answer, provided you have Ping Credits. All Experts start with 3 Ping Credits (i.e., can ask 3 questions), and have the opportunity to earn more (e.g., by answering Pings from other experts, applying to panel opportunities).
Can I sponsor a Paid Ping?
Yes, please contact SciPinion if you would like to sponsor a Paid Ping.
What do I get for answering a Ping?
By answering a question from a fellow SciPinion Expert you earn 1 Ping Credit, which allows you to sponsor your own Ping (e.g., for every question you answer, you can ask your own question)
You also receive the satisfaction of helping your fellow experts and supporting the scientific community.
