An R Graphical User Interface (GUI) for Everyone Deducer is designed to be a free easy to use alternative to proprietary data analysis software such as SPSS, JMP, and Minitab. It has a menu system to do common data manipulation and analysis tasks, and an excel-like spreadsheet in which to view and edit data frames. The goal of the project is two fold. Provide an intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) for R, encouraging non-technical users to learn and perform analyses without programming getting in their way. Increase the efficiency of expert R users when performing common tasks by replacing hundreds of keystrokes with a few mouse clicks. http://www.deducer.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.DeducerManual

https://plus.google.com/106268032364497388036/posts/1v1bMiREQzL Duke is paying for fees associated with open access publications, at least within some limits which roughly comes down to approximately one or two articles/author/year. I personally didn't know about this up to this point.

PERSPECTIVAL REALISM

Perspectival realism http://goo.gl/BqsVS is a position by Ronald Giere that I agree with in that it is in between two extreme concepts. It obviously doesn't solve the central problem of realism, but is instead based on a cognitive and social basis. It therefore agrees with the current approach of reproducible research, although it does not solve the problem of what research and technology should focus on. But that's a much longer story - By rpietro by naujobs Oct 24

The Spread of Start-Up America and the Rise of the High-Tech South - Richard Florida - Technology

http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2011/10/the-spread-of-start-up-america-and-the-rise-of-the-high-tech-south/246916/ Start-up culture is taking root in lots of places -- and not just the usual suspects. Some of the hottest hotbeds are in the South. The United States has been and continues to be one of the world's great start-up incubators, but with innovation no less than with agriculture, some places are much more fertile than others.

EQUATOR is committed to undertaking relevant research projects to contribute towards improving the standard of health research reporting. Research topics include reviews of time trends in the nature and quality of publications; the development of tools to help users, developers and appraisers of reporting guidelines; and investigating strategies to help journals to improve the quality of manuscripts. We intend to seek funds for specific projects to assess the level of problems caused by poor reporting and to monitor changes in the use of reporting guidelines and the consequent impact on the health research evidence base.
