#EarlyCareerResearchers are the main workforce producing new scientific work & thus papers. If we really want a change in the #AcademicPublishing system, we need 1st a radical change in the evaluation criteria for positions & #funding for #ECR

I'm in good company of the shelves of #Stroud library! @pelagicpublish
Well, the APC for publishing one paper in Scientific Reports is equal to about a 5-6 month salary of a typical Vietnamese lecturer. Most can't pay the APC, nor access subscribed journals. They are excluded from essential resources for doing science.

I agree with every word Brian McGill writes. Academic publishing is a mess, we are publishing too much, and letting for-profit publishers drive us into the ground. And we’re all complicit in this!

First footsteps in #Kunming. Some thoughts and photos from my first week here in #China. #botany #pollinators #biodiversity jeffollerton.co.uk/2024/04/29/fir…
Seriously, you're going to wake one morning in the 2050s in a home warmed by your wind powered heat pump, open the dividend from your solar farm share, ride to work on an electric bus passing fields of agroforestry brimming with wildlife, and wonder what all the fuss was about.
This excellent quote by British philosopher Bertrand Russel sums up my experience with social media in one sentence.
An epic day of bike-birding around Oxfordshire yesterday with Tom Bedford & @temiller17. Grim weather: heavy rain early & late, cold NE wind, but set new day record for county with 118 species. Highlights 12 spp wader, Little Gull, Arctic Tern, Short-eared Owl in 145 km cycled
Holy crap!
9.3 TRILLION insects found migrating at night above agricultural China! Some of these insects are pests, but many play vital positive ecological roles e.g. pollination, decomposition, & nutrient transfer which could be vital to soil health in the region! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
Mind blowing this talk by @JeffOllerton Thank you and appreciations to @renzongxin for inviting me to attend the talk.
I wonder what Darwin would have made of recent findings about the complexity of plant evolution, beautifully summed up by the statement that "[in the] graph, we identified a large “hairball” of complex genomic features and repetitive sequences" nature.com/articles/s4146…

You know you've reached the dizzy heights of scientific stardom when you're featured on #HIGNFY @NigelERaine ! youtube.com/watch?v=BnC5Du…
Finally, one student wrote about their prof's behaviour: - Dr. Mennill’s “walk with me” during the lab birding trip was a full storm-chaser run. Thanks for a great semester, students of Ornithology. It has been a pleasure to walk with you and learn about birds together. [🦚5/5]
This semester I taught Ornithology to 65 students. The last question on my final exam was: "What was the most interesting thing you learned in this course?” The students gave diverse answers... [🦚1/5]

@JeffOllerton @StephenBHeard @evoblackrim @BillJBaker @DavidGoyder @hsauquet_bgsyd Recovering a paraphyletic Asteraceae was really a surprise to all of us. But this is a known and tricky region in Asterids. According to Huang et al 2016 (doi.org/10.1093/molbev…), two WGD would surround the nodes in question, which undoubtedly leads to gene tree conflicts.
Please read the explanation by @BillJBaker in the replies to my original tweet. Still so much work to do to really understand how some of these groups of flowering plants fit together. #botany #biodiversity #phylogeny

Important.

@khuongaquatic @JeffOllerton Same thing for non-academic people (like me) in so-called developed countries. Sci publishing is becoming more and more elitarian. Only big researchers leading big labs in big universities and commanding big projects seem to be able to afford it.
@JeffOllerton @DynamicEcology ... and this is exactly why I am not staying in universitary research. 🤷🏽♂️ I keep on doing reaearch though, I love it.
A very interesting read by @DynamicEcology. The one comment I'd offer re point (v) is that most uni folks don't WANT to Red-Queen ourselves with publishing, but rather we're responding to uni incentives - many admins (not all!) prefer easy metrics like IFs and numbers of papers.

Well, the APC for publishing one paper in Scientific Reports is equal to about a 5-6 month salary of a typical Vietnamese lecturer. Most can't pay the APC, nor access subscribed journals. They are excluded from essential resources for doing science.
I agree with every word Brian McGill writes. Academic publishing is a mess, we are publishing too much, and letting for-profit publishers drive us into the ground. And we’re all complicit in this!
Highly relevant, and IMO, 100% bang-on about people chasing the name brand of Nature-blah-blah journals.... even when they were new and actually didn't have impact factors and were only a brand name of prestige.

@JeffOllerton @biolumiJEFFence @DynamicEcology Great analysis, thoughts and suggestions by Brian McGill, thanks for posting it! Particularly disadvantaged are nonacademic authors like me, I can't certainly afford today's ludicrous APCs. I'll definitely veer more toward good actors, both as an author and a reviewer.
What about the pressure put on early career scientists? Should the change come from researchers who have some job security? Another frustrating part: scientists often call for behavioral changes to combat crises, yet we fail to change our own behavior to combat our own crisis.

@JeffOllerton @DynamicEcology I also completely agree with Brian McGill. Publishing is totally out of control. I am currently in China, and its exponentially worse here.
Excellent thoughts on the scientific publication issues

@JeffOllerton @Jon_Chase03 That's what I thought. I think I will probably save myself the effort and continue with my more-or-less logical guesstimates. 😅1/1
“Quite aside from chasing high-impact, bad-actor journals, we also have to stop Red-Queening ourselves into unsustainable publication rates. We’ve got to start embracing slow science, where we value quality over quantity.”

@Jon_Chase03 How does everyone else manage to accurately estimate the number of posts they are going to include in a thread? I guess it must be through writing drafts elsewhere and dividing according to the limits. 5/4
@Jon_Chase03 I agree that there is little we can do to address the expansion of scientific publishing driven by big business. However, there's a lot we can do to maintain standards in respectable journals that are publishing genuinely peer-reviewed science. 1/2
It's actually rather reassuring to see that the volume published by societies and less business-oriented publishers is remaining constant. I was half expecting them to be in decline.

Very happy to have Jeff here, and showed him around!

Seriously, you're going to wake one morning in the 2050s in a home warmed by your wind powered heat pump, open the dividend from your solar farm share, ride to work on an electric bus passing fields of agroforestry brimming with wildlife, and wonder what all the fuss was about.
