Openness moderates the relationship between modern health worries and neuroticism

Modern health worries (MHW) has been reported to covary, albeit inconsistently, with measures tapping a tendency for emotional lability. We aim to address this inconsistency, in part, by investigating the moderating influence of openness on the previously reported correlation of MHW with neuroticism. One hundred and forty-three participants completed questionnaires assessing neuroticism, openne...

The characterisation of scholarly communication is dominated by citation-based measures. In this paper we propose several metrics to describe different facets of open access and open research. We discuss measures to represent the public availability of articles along with their archival location, licences, access costs and supporting information. Calculations illustrating these new metrics are ...

A Divine Consistency Proof for Mathematics

We present familiar principles involving objects and classes (of objects), pairing (on objects), choice (selecting elements from classes), positive classes (elements of an ultrafilter), and definable classes (definable using the preceding notions). We also postulate the existence of a divine object in the formalized sense that it lies in every definable positive class. ZFC (even extended with c...
