RE: How Do You Write Your STEM Post?

in STEMGeeks4 years ago

I love your pathology posts, I am not a pathologist, and I don't have the experience to identify sometimes the things that you point out in the slides. I love the fluency of your text though.
I think that you added too much emotion to this text! I read some parts twice to try to see if I got it right. I was trying to find you, maybe, on Discord to see if I could have some points clarified, but I don't know if I can. So I will leave here my questions:

  1. What exactly motivated you in this post?
  2. Ok you are in favor of short posts, for me if it is a 300-words post and if you have passed through the steps of creation + passed information, I don't have any problem with it, it is ok. But I saw in here people getting a novelty in STEM topics and just reformulated the paragraphs, you can see similar paragraphs in the original text with different words, so what is the creative effort from the STEM author?
  3. It wasn't clear if you were against or in favor of adding references in a let's say "lay" text about a STEM topic. For example, once in a while, I read " scientists just said that eating the vegetable x can cause an effect y in your body" without a reference. So I need to go for this information to check if it is true or not. If I find some reliable sources of this information I usually post it in the comments as a recommendation for the next time to be careful on that. During the last two years, we had lots of fake news on the internet about the COVID pandemic, I think as a curator is a duty to flag something that isn't "kosher".
  4. What do you think about self-plagiarism here? There is a user that likes to mostly copy and paste his own scientific articles in here? It isn't a creative effort, since he is mostly copying and pasting figures and texts.

I was about to write something along the lines above, with a few questions too to understand better the problem at stake. You were however faster than me. I will then just avoid writing anything in addition, and wait for the answer from the post's author.
