Assist. Simona Gomboc from the Department of Psychology at the Faculty of Mathematics, Natural Sciences and Information Technologies, has achieved remarkable success with the article Dunning-Krugerjev effect: when you don't know, that you know a little, which was selected among 16 articles in the Alternator online journal.

Alternator online magazine was launched in February 2020, when social life was being moved online, because of the spreading of the coronavirus. It is considered the first Slovenian web portal, which was created in an accessible and professional way by researchers from different scientific fields to bring the portal closer to the wider public.

The collection contains sixteen articles from 2020 to 2022, selected by the managing editors. Articles are thematically and methodologically diverse, bringing a range of different scientific approaches and disciplines, which sums up the purpose of the journal.

The publication offers a variety of topics from the fields of linguistics, philosophy, art history, psychology, sociology, law, biology, chemistry, physics, environment, and computer science. It also includes reflections on science as such.

"The consequences of the epidemic are not just a limited social life but also deepening our understanding of people's social and psychological experience. One of the many observations we can witness in private conversations and media reports is the impression that outsiders often have strong opinions, while the experts, on the contrary, are very cautious by that," concluded assist. Simona Gomboc in her article.

We sincerely congratulate our researcher for her achievement!
