A successful open access book mandate requires infrastructure not compliance - LSE Impact

An open access book mandate is one REF cycle away. If implemented, research funders should focus on enabling infrastructure rather than compliance.

PhD programs train researchers to do research and write articles. They rarely teach how publishing actually works. Publishing systems—journals, funders, institutions—shape research careers. I call this publishing literacy. publishingunlocked.com

Akademisk frihet kan fremstå som et særkrav fra akademia. Men hva om den heller er en del av samfunnets beredskap? Når forskningspolitikk styres av overskriftslogikk, gjør vi oss selv mindre enn vår egen fremtid, skriver jeg i Universitetsavisa.

I made my debut at The Scholarly Kitchen yesterday, about #openaccess at scale.

Impact Factor for academic journals is actually negotiable.

The landscape for academic publishing is rugged. How does #PeerReview really work? What is #OpenAccess, #DORA or #PlanS? How do they affect my research and my career? I’ve developed a workshop intended to support early-career researchers as they find their own answers and their own way. Have a look!

I’m deeply concerned about the state of academic publishing. Incentives clearly work and the wrong incentives have been put in place – by universities, research councils, politicians. We have to help early-career researchers figure out how to navigate this crazy landscape.

Gitt mangel på folk i Norge, lurer jeg på om vi kunne prøve å brainstorme oss frem til en god strategi for å tiltrekke oss ivrige studenter fra andre land🙃. Kanskje kunne vi til og med gjøre norsk arbeidsliv så lekker at de ønsker å bli værende her?! www.khrono.no/sandra-borch...

Sandra Borch om mangel på folk: — Dette er alvorlig

I 2024 forventer regjeringen at universitetene tilpasser tilbudet sitt bedre samfunnets behov, sa Sandra Borch i sin tale til lederne i sektoren.

I feel like there’s something I’m doing wrong here at Bluesky. Are you getting traction?

PhD candidates need a guidebook to understand the academic journal system. They need good ways to think through dilemmas and challenges about #OA, #DORA, #plan-s, CC-BY and much much more. I’m writing that book. It will be done by Easter. Should I do it publicly? How? LinkedIn? Substack others?

I’m starting to think it’s getting closer to the time when #Obama needs to do an intervention with #Biden. Run, Michelle, run!

As of today - November 21, 2023 - I have a #Norwegian passport for the first time in my life. I’ve lived in #Norway over half my life and I’ve waited patiently for the process to run its course. Now that I’ve reached this point, I have to say that it feels pretty good. Tusen Takk!
