Great news! Some of us have been waiting a long time for major funders to not just shovel $ into the maws of the big publishers, and instead support the long tail of scholar-controlled journals that are run on a shoestring

We’ve been thinking about what Earth Kindness actually looked like in real life. Spending a little more time outside. Picking something up that wasn’t yours. Paying closer attention to the spaces you move through every day. Keep it going. #MakeKindnessTheNorm

As an aside, "Excellence" must be the single-most overused, empty, boilerplate word used in academic bureaucracy and it's typically a stand-in for "We don't know what we want so you should do everything".

New post on the PsyArXiv Blog asks "When should I preprint my work?" blog.psyarxiv.com/2025/03/18/w... #openResearch #openAccess

Blog excerpt: Title is When should I preprint my work?
First paragraph: People often come up to me and say, “Dermot, do you have the money now?”* But other times they will come up to me and ask “Dermot, when should I preprint my work?” This is a great question, and the general answer is, “whenever it suits you best”. The important thing is that your work is out there, unpaywalled, and accessible to the world. So the specific timing might be more down to individual preferences, journal policies (like time-limited embargos), or some other factors.

Unfortunately we live in a material world where institutional self-interest is governed by grants and papers as much as by scientific accomplishment and reputation. There is often conflict between what benefits a University and what benefits science.
