Our attention spans are shortening. Decreasing, as some claim, by over a minute since the beginning of the century. Perhaps less. But one thing's for certain: the proliferation of short-form content online both appeals to and produces an attention span habitually coping with multiple digital platforms and overconsumption. What implications might this have for the academic research sector? Read my team's recent article for The Publishing Post to find out what a micropublication is and how research is becoming increasingly bitesize. https://lnkd.in/eJx3HeG4

✨📑✨ It's Peer Review Week! This is a time for researchers, publishers, and institutions to discuss changes in the publishing landscape and ongoing need for peer review. This year's theme is the intersection of innovation and technology. To learn more, check out our blog post: https://lnkd.in/dDJ4jCpK #stanfordmedicine

Help make retractions a thing of the past! Join R3ciprocity.com, where I’m building a platform to create non-rejectable research papers, grants, and maybe even more intellectual property. But I can’t do this alone—I need your help. Today, retractions and the drama surrounding them are central to the conversation in science. From issues with peer review and rushed publishing, to the pressure to publish at all costs, it seems like everyone is struggling. My platform aims to change all of this. By making the research process more fun, and using modern design principles, we can make the experience exciting, valid, and more transparent for researchers everywhere. Let’s change the future of academic research together—spread the word, join the movement, and help make R3ciprocity.com a game-changer in the world of research.

The recent WIPO study highlights how organizations like Research4Life are crucial for supporting equity in publishing by providing free/low-cost access to research to low- or middle-income countries. Wiley's partnership with R4L, alongside numerous other contributing publishers, has significantly boosted scientific output by up to 75% in LMICs. Lowering barriers and enhancing global research collaboration is an important step to equity in publishing. https://ow.ly/vEGz50SzaK5

Are you interested in finding out how your institution is faring with its reproducibility practices and how to scale these up? Then this new report produced by Knowledge Exchange (https://lnkd.in/eXvksHAu), with the help of experts of FAIR Data and scientists of several disciplines, will be of interest to you! The report, "Approaches to scaling up reproducibility in research organisations", is part of the Knowledge Exchanges’ work around Fair Data and Software supporting Reproducible Research (https://lnkd.in/e3ryNNhc). This activity has investigated how research institutions can support a wider uptake of reproducible research practices and how it can be scaled up from pioneers to the majority of researchers and research adjacent support staff.   The main output of this work is a framework for research institutions to understand how to support and enhance reproducibility practices internally. It can be used as a gap analysis tool and/or to stimulate conversation.   The report is available on Zenodo and can also be accessed through the KE news piece here: https://lnkd.in/ea5-87u4   The framework and guidance on how to use this can be accessed here: https://lnkd.in/erFra9Ni Have a good reading!

Research culture is changing. There is more expectation for transparency and openness. But how can we make this a reality? Transparent peer review is a key part of cultivating a more open, robust and accessible research environment. That’s why we’re offering it in more RSC journals than ever before. #JoinIn for Peer Review Week 2024 | Discover your options: https://rsc.li/3Xy7NrB #PeerReviewWeek #PeerReviewWeek2024

I am excited to share that our paper, "The Role of Evaluation Theory and Practice in Narrowing the Research-to-Practice Gap", has officially been published in the American Journal of Evaluation. 🎉 This paper was authored by Tiffany Berry, Brittany Hite, Michelle Sloper, and myself. I am always honored to collaborate with these brilliant folks. This paper dives deep into the crucial intersection of evaluation theory and practice, shedding light on ways to bridge the gap between research and practical application. Check it out and let us know what you think! https://lnkd.in/gey99efu

Peer Review Week 2024 is here! 🌟 From September 23-27, we're joining researchers, publishers, and editors to explore how technology is revolutionizing the peer review process. This year's theme, "Innovation and Technology in Peer Review," emphasizes the opportunities—and challenges—tech presents in enhancing transparency, efficiency, and inclusivity. At FASEB journals, we're using tools like SciScore and AI-driven reviewer matching to support rigor and diversity in peer review. Discover how we’re embracing the future of peer review: https://hubs.ly/Q02QP7fD0 #PeerReviewWeek #InnovationInResearch #FASEBJournal #FASEBBioAdvances #OpenScience
