Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

JSP does not routinely publish letters to the editor, but given the strong responses pro and con to Derek Pyne’s controversial ‘The Rewards of Predatory Publications at a Small Business School’ (48.3), we have decided to allow a one-time rejoinder to the statistical analysis it offered. Given the differences in classical regression analysis and one applied to a case study, both the article and the letter have their respective merits. Readers will decide for themselves which conclusion to accept.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Direct model labels (unvalidated)

Per-model category and study-design labels from the labeling rounds. They are machine output, unvalidated, and the disagreement between models ships as data. No study design here is MEDLINE-validated yet.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
