Since the COVID-19 pandemic, finding participants for qualitative studies has increasingly become an online process mediated by social media or platforms such as Amazon's Mechanical Turk. Yet, how confident can researchers be that these participants are who they say they are? Exploring this issue, Rebecca Muir suggests it presents challenges, but also opportunities, for researchers working in this way. #QualitativeResearch #ResearchMethods #SocialResearch

The search for the origin of the phrase 'publish or perish' has been intriguing since it was first raised by Eugene Garfield in 1996. Drawing on recent discoveries in relation to this question, Vladimir Moskovkin, discusses the evolution of the term and pinpoints its earliest known usage to date. #PublishOrPerish #ScholComm #AcademicPublishing

Although Khan’s book lacks an examination of how the broader spectrum of generative AI could disrupt education practices, he presents a captivating vision for how it can be used to enhance teaching and assessments and complement traditional classroom experiences, writes Jon Cardoso-Silva (LSE Data Science Institute). #EdTech #GenAI #Pedagogy

Research and research impact are often represented and recorded as the product of discrete research projects and individuals. Drawing on their research into the wives of famous sociologists, Rosalind Edwards and Val Gillies suggest how reconsidering the impact of these researchers can nuance our understanding and approaches to public engagement and impact. #Sociology #STS #ResearchImpact #ThanksForTyping

The transition towards an open access scholarly communication system has transformed the technology and underlying function of journals. Damian Pattinson and George Currie (eLife Sciences Publications, Ltd.) argue one consequence of this change has been the rise of journals as holders of brand value over research quality and offer three ways of escaping this dynamic. #ScholComm #AcademicPublishing #OpenScience

In Pragmatism and Methodology, Alex Gillespie, Vlad Glăveanu and Constance de Saint Laurent advocate for pragmatism as a flexible framework for impactful social science research. Balancing philosophical and psychological depth with accessibility, the book effectively shows how a blend of methodologies grounded in real life can enable researchers to navigate contemporary challenges, writes Job Allan Wefwafwa in his review. #Pragmatism #ResearchMethods #SocialScience

Retractions have a bad reputation. The retraction of academic papers often functions as an indictment against the reputation of a researcher. In this LSE Impact Blog , Tim Kersjes, Head of Research Integrity, Resolutions, argues that for retractions to function as an effective corrective to the scholarly record they need shed this punitive reputation: https://lnkd.in/dYHmDECk

The recording and indexing of research plays a vital role in how it can be found and used, but what happens when the output from a research project is not a written document, but a performance, series of events or an artistic work? Holly Ranger, Jenny Evans and Adam Vials Moore discuss findings from a series of projects exploring how these forms of practice research can be better documented and made more accessible to researchers and research users. #ResearchManagemennt #HumanitiesResarch #PIDs

Universities espouse a universalist approach to creating and accessing research-based knowledge. However, as Helen Kara and Petra Boynton argue, seen from the outside these claims are hollow. #IndependentResearchers #HigherEducation #ResearchFunding
Institutional affiliation should not be a requirement for doing research
