Latest update from the dystopian world of academic publishing: Springer Nature and BMC (also owned by Springer Nature) appear to be spending a fortune on YouTube ads to attract submissions to their journals. No wonder APCs run into the thousands. What a great use of research funding. #OpenScience

When asked why I hate cars so much I tend to point at the multiple harms they inflict: pollution, collisions, degradation of the public space, etc. However, when I'm back in Tres Cantos (Madrid), where I grew up, I wonder whether those answers are just the rationalisation of a lost sense of serenity

We have a new study led by Hulya Seyidoglu, in Crime Science, linking google mobility data with crime, in the context of the covid pandemic, link.springer.com/epdf/10.1186... Most crimes increase when people come outdoors, as could be expected, but not for drug offences and anti-social behaviour.

We (@toby-davies.bsky.social & I) estimate that once traffic is introduced into a neighbourhood, residents’ perceptions of vandalism, violence, and burglary rise from 6% to 9%, and we think thats probably an underestimate.

This trend is before AI. Even if we could switch off AI, submissions will outpace reviews. But sure, I agree with you, lets at least try to find solutions rather than give up entirely. Feels like being one of the musicians on the titanic though.

thanks @gmhales.bsky.social, that's a good point worth streamlining more clearly in the final version, and that ratio you suggest could be a nice way to do so. This is what we wrote to argue that motoring offences are more than speeding tickets or driving without license:

Jose Pina-Sánchez 🇪🇺 @jpinasanchez.eurosky.social · 02/03/2026

We also criticised the framing of the debate as pro or against connectivity, when the real criminogenic element is motor traffic, as recognised by both Jacobs and Newman. In our view this is a huge blindspot among crime prevention scholars and practitioners, a clear example of #motonormativity

Jose Pina-Sánchez 🇪🇺 @jpinasanchez.eurosky.social · 02/03/2026

For context: last year, convictions for deaths caused by dangerous, careless, or illegal driving were nearly equal in number to murder convictions.

Jose Pina-Sánchez 🇪🇺 @jpinasanchez.eurosky.social · 02/03/2026

The neglect of motoring offences is made more jarring when compared to the huge research efforts dedicated to studying burglary. This is made more striking when we consider that motoring offences are 60X more frequent than burglary, and that divergence has been growing for decades.
