Higher education in the UK faces a funding crisis, as the student loan model established over a decade ago no longer provides value to students or the institutions they study at. Tim Leunig outlines a ten-point point plan to build on the best of the current system and ensure it delivers more equitable outcomes in the future. #HigherEducation #StudentLoans #ResearchPolicy LSE School of Public Policy

Drawing on a study of COVID-19 research papers, Liang Hu, Win-bin Huang and @Yi Bu find more interdisciplinary research to have greater relevance and be more heavily cited in policy documents. #Interdisciplinary #PolicyImpact #SocialScience
The more interdisciplinary research is, the more it is used in policy documents

What approach should publishers be taking to social media platforms? And is it worth investing precious time into the emerging alternative platforms? We recently spoke to The Bookseller for this piece on shifting approaches to Twitter/X ✍ 📚 "Bluesky, also known as Bsky, has appeared as another replacement candidate for X, with some authors preferring the platform. The Bookseller has also been speaking to LSE Press and CILIP: The library and information association), who indicated that academic publishers, researchers and librarians have also been among those making the move, while often maintaining a presence on X too."

Researchers and policymakers have long been seen as two communities, which although dealing with similar issues, have distinct institutional norms and bounded rationalities. Lucile Maertens, Audrey Alejandro and Zoé Cheli suggest roleplay can be a useful tool in reducing these differences and creating more productive interactions between research and policy.

Studies have increasingly shown the widespread use of generative AI in research publications. Faced with the consequent uptick in the number of publications, Simone Ragavooloo argues that editors and reviewers should embrace AI tools to undertake the heavy lifting of statistical and methodological review and to allow them to focus on areas that require human expertise. #PeerReview #PeerReviewWeek #ScholComm #AcademicPublishing
If generative AI accelerates science, peer review needs to catch up

Jonathan Grant and Dr Tom Kennie explore the role of third space professionals (those who work between academia and various fields of practice) and suggest how universities can better support their careers by breaking down the existing binary between academic and professional service staff. #HigherEducation #AcademicCareers #KnowledgeExchange
Universities need to recognise and support the permeability of third space careers

Peer review decisions are definitive, depending on the style of peer review practiced at a journal, reviewers can usually make one of three recommendations: accept, reject, revise and resubmit. Discussing a new study into the levels of certainty reviewers have making these choices, Adrian Barnett, suggests how embracing this doubt could improve peer review processes. #PeerReviewWeek #PeerReview #Randomisation #AcademicPublishing
Randomisation can resolve the uncertainty at the heart of peer review
