I think I like it… As you say, it emphasises the important part of the problem, which is that institutions typically don’t submit these outputs

I've just finished listening to the first two episodes. Great work! Loved Simon's description of hell is academics in a room trying to agree how to name something. I laughed as much as I did when @davidjphipps.bsky.social said 'definitional dystopia' about impact.

I agree. Minority outputs makes them sound less important or less numerous and neither of those statements is true. What do you think of "not-traditionally submitted outputs" (aside from it being a bit of a mouthful)?

I've been resisting rejoining social media since Twitter got all Musky, but I am now thinking about rejoining just to vigorously display two fingers to the crap that's happening in the world at the moment.

Got a certificate from the Hidden Reference competition! (Not an academic so it's never been REF'd, at least as far as I know, but has been used as source data for a few projects) hiddenref.bsky.social
