How often is the PhD experience researched beyond metrics of completion times and attrition? Check out my newly published review in JLDHE examining a brilliant edited collection of research that changes the way we should think about and explore doctoral education

There's many debates on the costs of academic publishing, but those debates never consider our most vulnerable publishers: PhD students. Take a look at my new piece in ESE that examines how corporate greed in publishing impacts emerging scholars: ese.arphahub.com/article/124173…

I started this piece 4 years ago as a first year; definitely my overzealous-in-scope chonky lit review. After 5 years, multiple revivals with the wisdom and belief of Kate Beecher Matthews (she/her), many huge word-cuts and the support of my other co-authors, it's finally published 😊

In this new Viewpoint in ESE, Joshua Wang argues that the current open access publishing model unfairly advantages candidates with personal, familial and/or institutional wealth. Read his paper for free in the journal now: doi.org/10.3897/ese.20…

How "open" are "best paper" awards? Shinichi Nakagawa | 中川震一 &co use cross-disciplinary data to explore the level of #transparency of publicly available awards, finding that they may propagate existing #reproducibility crises & inequities in science #PLOSBiology plos.io/3LEmEes

In a new paper led by Losia Lagisz, we find that 222 “Best Paper” awards across 27 subject areas lack transparency, inclusivity, and support for Open Science. Of particular concern, concepts that align with Open Science were almost absent from assessment criteria ☹️

The very last slice of my thesis is now out! Huge thanks to Kate Beecher Matthews (she/her) for persisting with me to find a home for it. Goodbye forever TSPO 👋👋

Sees shit writing and assumes its an early career researcher? That logic is floral without fragrance. I know a few full professors that haven't written any of the papers they've co-authored over many years - I'm sure they'd be rustier than their paper machine students

Urrrrrr...All major papers of Victor Ambros are shared with his wife Rosalind Lee.... Does the nobel committee just hate women called "Rosalind"???

We're so thankful for the positive feedback we've received about the Research Handbook of Academic Mental Health! What happens when you're struggling and you need to find a new PhD supervisor? In Chapter 6, Joshua Wang and colleagues explore the phenomenon of rescue

I'm spending a good amount of time this year analysing grey publishers. In this little piece I re-analysed some great data from Jimmy Li and colleagues. It's not often I see work in this space showing Frontiers to be the more extreme of the two: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
