Anyone interested in a $250 stipend for peer reviewing an OER textbook, "Intro to Communication and Media Studies"? It's adapted from several sources and has some original contributions by both me and my students. Due to a federal grant requirement, this is only open to those living in the U.S. I need three reviewers! Happy to answer any questions. #academia#peerreview#OER @academicchatter@academicsunite
"This Element examines some of their concerns. It uses evidence that critics of peer review sometimes cite to show its failures, as well as empirical literature on the reception of bullshit, to advance positive claims about how the assessment of scholarly work is appropriately influenced by features of the context in which it appears: for example, by readers' knowledge of authorship or of publication venue."
Weird professional norms question re social science #PeerReview
A great reviewer objected to a measure I used by giving a long summary of problems with historical newspapers as sources in the era I discuss. The reviewer is correct, & as a result, I'm moving that set of results to an appendix & contextualizing them with a summary of the issues
The reviewer didn't point me to sources & I've only found them for some of the specific points. I can't just quote the review, can I?!
It breaks my heart thinking about all the #students who were ready to start their new #MSc or #phd in foreign countries and now they have to give up because they cannot travel from many more countries other than #Israel and #Palestine
Also journals: please spend 30 mins updating your reviewer profile, research interests, conflicts, password, contact details and availability before writing your review. Oh, and check out our terms of service! You'll love this bit about our right to use your review text to train AI models.
