ResearchCoin Giveaway - Week 3 Report
Results from week 3 of the 1M ResearchCoin giveaway
Welcome to our weekly results blog for the 1M ResearchCoin giveaway!
During week 3 we saw 90 papers and 76 comments shared on ResearchHub. Here are the statistics from last week’s top RSC earners:
Anton Lebed’s post was the most upvoted paper of week 3. He shared a paper which found evidence that increased long-term memory resulted in a higher susceptibility to starvation in fruit flies.
Emeka A. Ezewudo came in second with his post about a study that illustrated how genomic data can be used to predict milk production in dairy cattle. The authors sequenced the DNA of over 2000 cattle and found that genomic selection was more effective than traditional methods for predicting milk production.
Jordan Nelson shared the third most upvoted post of week 3. This paper proposed the “Raincloud” plot as a superior alternative for visualizing complex data in a more transparent and statistically robust fashion. It even includes a helpful code tutorial entitled “ How to make it rain in R”.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to the ResearchHub community during week 3. The most active hubs during week 3 were:
Key takeaway and summary curation
Now users can vote on key takeaways and summaries to ensure that the best content rises to the top. Please remember that our goal is to make science accessible to anyone who might be browsing ResearchHub — regardless of academic training.
Key takeaways and summaries are intended to help communicate research to non-experts. They should be written with a focus on clarity and accessibility.
