Uploading this work to a preprint server would give those undergrads practice writing a paper as well as something to show for their efforts

i would not want to guarantee the correctness of student analyses. msc students are not mini phds. but it would be good for replications.
-
I'm not saying you have to but putting something out there without checking isn't good practice IMHO.
-
ok but which supervisor rereads the program of a phd student, checking for programming bugs
-
Mine did during my phd but that's actually not how any software testing is done. Either way if you put something out there it's important
-
for science and your reputation to check. I can't force you to do this obviously.
-
but no one re-reads my program. we share a lot of code though, so that's how we discover bugs
-
I'm confused because you said "but which supervisor rereads the program of a phd student, checking for programming bugs" I assumed you meant
-
that checking for bugs is equal to reading somebody's code. Both are useful but not synonymous.

I suspect that in places with high UG numbers the PhD student supervision would suffer quite a lot
-
and the load on BioRVX would be pretty dramatic - 170ish UK psych courses with av 150 students = 25k pubs per year!
-
it would be great if that happened! UG psych teaches doing xps + writing lab reports, why not finish the sequence and include publishing?
-
i just worry that with that much extra stuff it'd be impossible to differentiate signal from noise (pretty tough already)
-
But I guess that's where post-pub review/metrics/rankings could help out. Reddit of UG science pubs
-
Agreed with the above — I was envisaging like less than 5% of student projects would have the support and quality to be preprints.
-
Yes, me too. I was thinking it's at the discretion of supervisor + UG director - everyone would learn it but only some would make it through
-
I like this as an automatic 'reward' for the top 5 highest marked dissertations of the year. Might see if there's a thirst for it in dept

e.g. you could let the msc students do registered replications of previous experiments which could then be published.
-
Yeah, people have proposed that before.

obvs authors c argue that failure to replicate is student fuck up. but if you have a cohort of msc students each of which replicates why not
