Pins, not a pirate shelf

We pin links. We do not hoard the world’s PDFs.

OpenAlex, Crossref and PubMed already crawl ‘all of psychology’. NOOS adds a take/leave line and a stable DOI. Full texts only when they are open. Link rot is fought with identifiers, not with a shadow library.

The Parable of Google Flu: Traps in Big Data Analysis

What we takeA search index that is not recalibrated against a slower instrument will drift — and then publish with great confidence.

What we leaveNot a ban on digital traces. A ban on treating them as a census.

Ginsberg et al. · 2009 · Nature
Detecting influenza epidemics using search engine query data

What we takeThe original Flu Trends paper: relative query volume can lead a clinical curve — for a while, in one disease, on one engine.

What we leaveNot a licence to skip the clinic forever.

Holt-Lunstad et al. · 2015 · Perspectives on Psychological Science
Loneliness and social isolation as risk factors for mortality

What we takeSustained isolation is a health number, not a personality flaw. Cities can treat it like air quality.

What we leaveNot a mandate that introversion is a disease.

Preventing suicide: a resource for media professionals

What we takeMethod detail and glamour in a headline are associated with copycat deaths. A help link is part of the story.

What we leaveNot a demand for silence about suicide.

OpenAlex: a fully-open index of scholarly works

What we takeThe way to ‘pin’ psychology papers is metadata and DOIs, not a pirate shelf of PDFs. OpenAlex already crawls the world. NOOS adds a take/leave line, not a second Scholar.

What we leaveWe do not host paywalled full texts.
