在Reddit和4chan的政治不正确的董事会上使用电子打印
Understanding the Use of e-Prints on Reddit and 4chan's Politically Incorrect Board
摘要：
科学知识的传播和覆盖面以惊人的速度增加。在这方面，电子打印服务器发挥了核心作用，为科学家提供了一个快速和开放的机制，可以传播研究成果，而不必等待（漫长的）同行审查过程。电子打印服务器在以多种方式帮助科学界的同时，还为科学传播者和公众提供了获得丰富知识的机会，而无需支付高昂的订阅费。这促使我们研究如何电子打印定位在网络社区的讨论。在本文中，我们分析了来自两个网络社区的数据：14年的Reddit数据和4chan的Politically Incorrect董事会的4年以上数据。我们的研究结果强调了电子打印在科学爱好者和普通观众社区的存在。现实世界的事件和独特的因素影响e-Prints人员的讨论;例如，在疫情爆发的最初几个月，与COVID-19相关的研究出版物激增，在线讨论中对e-Prints的引用也有所增加。电子印刷品和在线讨论中引用它们的文本相似性很低，这表明后者并不完全是在谈论前者的发现。此外，我们对线索样本的分析突出了：1）对研究结果的误解和概括，2）早期的研究结果被放大为未来预测的来源，3）质疑来自伪科学电子打印的发现。总的来说，我们的工作强调需要快速有效地验证未经同行评审的电子打印，这些电子打印得到了大量的新闻/社交媒体报道，以帮助减轻对科学成果的错误解释。
英文摘要：
The dissemination and reach of scientific knowledge have increased at a blistering pace. In this context, e-Print servers have played a central role by providing scientists with a rapid and open mechanism for disseminating research without waiting for the (lengthy) peer review process. While helping the scientific community in several ways, e-Print servers also provide scientific communicators and the general public with access to a wealth of knowledge without paying hefty subscription fees. This motivates us to study how e-Prints are positioned within Web community discussions. In this paper, we analyze data from two Web communities: 14 years of Reddit data and over 4 from 4chan's Politically Incorrect board. Our findings highlight the presence of e-Prints in both science-enthusiast and general-audience communities. Real-world events and distinct factors influence the e-Prints people's discussions; e.g., there was a surge of COVID-19-related research publications during the early months of the outbreak and increased references to e-Prints in online discussions. Text in e-Prints and in online discussions referencing them has a low similarity, suggesting that the latter are not exclusively talking about the findings in the former. Further, our analysis of a sample of threads highlights: 1) misinterpretation and generalization of research findings, 2) early research findings being amplified as a source for future predictions, and 3) questioning findings from a pseudoscientific e-Print. Overall, our work emphasizes the need to quickly and effectively validate non-peer-reviewed e-Prints that get substantial press/social media coverage to help mitigate wrongful interpretations of scientific outputs.
