The strain on scientific publishing 📄:

The publishing sector has a problem. Scientists are overwhelmed, editors are overworked, special issue invitations are constant, research paper mills, article retractions, journal delistings… JUST WHAT IS GOING ON!?

Myself, pablo, @paolocrosetto and Dan have spent the last few months investigating just that.

Hey guys, I am sitting on the #PeerTube (#Federated #YouTube) domain peertube.science - I want to gauge how much of an interest in this for me to set up. Is there anyone interested in a non commercial video service like this for the sciences? Humanities are welcome too. 😀


Brief #Introduction, since it seems to be the etiquette around here. Hi! I'm Mel, a PGR at QMUL researching abortion policy implementation in subnational Argentina, through lenses of various geographies, #policy and subnational studies, and literature on #feminist #activism. Expect toots both in #Spanish and #English. Alongside #academicchatter, expect pictures and commentary on #popculture, #cats, #nature and #food, as needed.


Citations in scientific presentations should be readable and easy to follow for the audience even at the back of the room.

I wrote the tiny #rstats package {namedropR} to make this easy to achieve for speakers.

A quick 'How to' is in the thread below.

#scicomm #academia #academicchatter
The logo of the R package "namedropR": a hexagonal icon with dark backgroundand an orane frame. In the center there is the package name, next to a QR code, which encodes the package name.
Next to the logo there is a call to action: reference your literature with style.
