Second Thought on Glamour Pr33p P33ple

If establishing the priority of scientific observations or findings is so important, another thing these people should be doing, tomorrow, is to cite conference abstracts in their papers.

It was not so long ago in the neurosciences that citations of Society for Neuroscience Abstracts would appear in archival reports.

We can return to this and it would go a long way towards documenting the chronology (I am working up an antipathy to “priority”, folks) of an area of scientific work.

Treat your published papers as those of your competitors

No scientist should *ever* be afraid to publish a finding that contradicts their prior publications.

Club I don't want to join: PIs whose Neuron paper contradicts earlier Cell, Science or Nature paper.

Everything would be “accept, no revisions and can we get you a coffee Professor?”

All their supposed problems would be solved.
