Great initiative!
More and more, researchers are able to publish their articles at no cost to authors or readers.
Another example is @PeerCommunityIn @PCI_Neuro

If you are a disgruntled cognitive science editor, reach out to me and Ted Gibson (@LanguageMIT). We run Open Mind (direct.mit.edu/opmi). Free to publish, free to read.

We make all our publication figures in @inkscape and have for years...no particular resources to share, I learned organically and use essentially the vanilla package, so chiming in mostly to say it's possible (and enjoyable) to do.

I like this recommendation to report confidence intervals not as 3.5 [-2.0, 8.7] but as subscripts ₋₂.₀ 3.5 ₈.₇

If you’re fed up with how academic publishing is stuck but don’t see how to break free, here are things you could do when the world feels immovable:
- review only preprints or journal articles that are already preprints and do so publicly to benefit readers (and reviewers), not just authors. Extra points if you explain to editors why you’re opting out of secret gatekeeping (many of them will agree with you, understand, or note that things are changing IME)
- decide from today you’re not publishing the way you used to and signal to new folks that join your lab how you plan to do things (letting previous lab members do what they want. They may even come around when everyone else around them is free and committed to good science above signaling of the same). See 👇

Ok a lot of folks would love to move away from glam publishing but feel tied due to their publishing history and students/PDs who joined because of that. Here’s one possible path to breaking the cycle. A 🧵

I loved academia when I was in it — and believe more ever the exceptional value of truly transferable skills obtained within. That said, for the sake of all of humanity, I hope it can free itself of the rampant credit chasing, low agency, consensus fetishizing, and security primacy that IMO hold it back from its limitless potential

FASTMAP is an #opensource plugin for ImageJ. It allows for registering biological images within brain atlases. It also segments biological labels of interest within brain regions. @DTerstege Read about FASTMAP in this week's post on OpenBehavior:

Are you curious about the role of #preprints in the publish-review-curate model and the importance of detangling traditional publishing?
Join ASAPbio Associate Director @JACoates on March 19 for his talk "Preprints as the central pillar of the PRC model" to learn more!

'Despite the narrow audience, scientific publishing is a remarkably big business. With total global revenues of more than £19bn, it weighs in somewhere between the recording and the film industries in size, but it is far more profitable.'

Weird getting an email with a $10K bill for a journal publication fee, followed by an email requesting to review a paper for the same journal for free. Feels like being a victim in some kind of a pyramid scheme

We are hiring for a Research Assistant Professor in Learning and Education Sciences!
This full-time or part-time role will:
- Evaluate our learning programs
- Build and execute a vision for the future of online graduate level education
See our website in profile for info!
ALT An image of text that says: We are looking for a part-time or full-time staff scientist to help lead development and evaluation of our global online education program while also establishing our education research program. This role will serve many of the same functions as a professor at an institute of higher education (teaching, researching, and fundraising), but in an all-remote capacity in our borderless graduate-level education program. Further, instead of direct student teaching, this person would contribute to our unique collaborative education model.
