📣 Submit your paper to the Leibniz Open Science Day! I will be there to talk about our recent experience with replicating Ciacci (2024) about impacts of the Swedish legislation that banned sex purchases. Call for papers here: zbw.eu/de/ueber-uns/v…
Excited to share our new @AJPS_Editor paper! We analyze 5M+ Douyin videos from 18K+ regime-affiliated accounts and show how propaganda is now produced and spread through a decentralized model on social media. Four years of work with an incredible team: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/aj…
How has digital media transformed authoritarian propaganda? In our new @AJPS_Editor paper with @YingdanL_kk, @jenjpan & @xuyiqing, we proposed a *decentralized propaganda* model and empirically demonstrate its existence on Douyin: doi.org/10.1111/ajps.1… 🧵
Update: This time, it took only a couple of days for the decision to arrive. We were rejected with this motivation in the screenshot. However, we do not know their conclusion and why the paper was not retracted. Clearly, the main results do not hold.1/4
The Journal of Population Economics does not acknowledge receiving our first (partial) comment on Ciacci (2024). We are therefore submitting the extended comment as a new submission. Let's hope the handling is shorter than 12 months this time!
Sorry you had to go through this. It hits a nerve because of a similar experience: A study of sex work with big policy implications. But the findings don't pass a basic sniff test. Questions, delays, bad data, an unapologetic journal. The author? Ciacci. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
