I'm glad I left the site 'formerly known as' a while back now and that the jury's still out on the best academic social media platforms. For now, I'm sticking with #MastodonAcademic, although I know many who are on other platforms. Personally, I can't keep up, and wonder if building fewer but stronger and perhaps more diverse or like-minded synergies is a way to counter information and mental overload. On verra.

Hello #AcademicMastodon #MastodonAcademic,

when applying for government funding to do research (in the #UK, but I'm interested in other national contexts & policies, too), what sort of 'outputs' are valued most?

Grateful for more nuanced & specific replies in addition to poll responses.

Thank you for your insights

@WiseWoman @drsaraheaton This is really helpful, thank you!

Another example of #MastodonAcademic at work, sharing and caring ✊🏽

Who else is doing research on artificial intelligence and academic writing that is policy and ethics-oriented?

Please boost, if you can, as I am hoping to reach #interdisciplinary voices & approaches to this, especially from the so-called #GlobalSouth, namely communities that don't seem to be getting much of a look-in right now on this 'western' concocted concern.

Dear #MastodonAcademic, have any you budgeted for *writing time* when applying for research funding? I've never seen a grant bid that does so, which suggests that writing is not recognised as the #MethodOfEnquiry it is and is not accounted for in grant time. For example, budgeting for a #WritingRetreat or a project assistant to ensure grant holders have time to at least draft for the dissemination of their findings would seem reasonable to me but ....?#ResearchWriting #AcWri #HigherEducation

Until I can find all my people on #MastodonAcademic, I need to periodically share from the bird site.

I realise you are here, @ucu, but not everything you are posting elsewhere is showing up here, yet:

Hi @nathanghall,

each server has its own admin, rules, ethos, focus and local community.

I was on mastodon.uno to start with, an Italian server. I got an email about 3 days in saying they weren't happy with me posting in English. I therefore changed instance/server, even though I could follow/interact with anyone.

Being on an instance is a bit like belonging to a family or university - fine to talk to others, but 'whilst living under my roof, my rules', maybe? #MastodonAcademic

So far, I'm finding my sciences.social local & #FediVerse timelines - not just who I follow - worth consulting.

Having recently moved from maston.uno, which wasn't happy with me posting mainly in English, I'm finding my new host instance allows me access to much #MultiLingual knowledge.

I get & respect that each instance has its own ethos & prerogative. I also appreciate the (relative) ease with which we can switch instances.

I'm ok with #masto, so far ... 🙂
