By Science
We are a multidisciplinary team who design and conduct theoretical frameworks and physical experiments. We follow standard scientific methods, embracing reproducibility, falsifiability, and openness.
Facility Overview
3t.al. Labs is a high-energy kinetic research installation for bibliometrics.
Our lab, Theoretical Text Trajectory & Acceleration Laboratory, is built as a proof-of-concept for the simple premise that academic rigor should be subjected to the same empirical scrutiny as physical phenomena. As basic particles are accelerated to near-light speeds to reveal fundamental truths about the universe, so too should academic publications be subjected to high-velocity analysis.
We act as the advocate for a new standard in academic practices — one where an academic review includes subatomic-level scrutiny of the paper. We prototype and test methodologies for using particle acceleration and collision on their physical copies, printed or stored as digital media, to analyze the integrity of theoretical frameworks, the robustness of empirical data, and the resilience of conclusions under extreme conditions.
On Science
We conduct research on published research and analyze the physical copies with particle accelerators. Existing research of all domains — from algebra to zoology — is subject to our analysis.
For Science
We act as an independent auditor of scientific research, developing tools and protocols with which the broader science community can evaluate and improve the reliability of published research.
