New study: In German #universities, the factor most affecting the growth of #GreenOA is "disciplinary profile". #Infrastructure & services "turned out to be non-significant."
https://arxiv.org/abs/2308.11965

"[Our analysis] hints that the original function of institutional repositories, offering a channel for secondary publishing is vanishing, while a new function of aggregation of metadata & full texts is becoming of increasing importance."

A mediation analysis attributed about one-third of the lower success rate for proposals by women in a #scienceFunding competition in the social sciences to the indirect effect of #disciplines, topics, and methods. Interviews with panel members further elucidated that this effect is driven by their disciplinary evaluation logic. #PeerReview can reproduce the hierarchy of disciplines and, through it, negatively affect the outcomes for women. https://doi.org/10.1177/00380385231163071

The interview also has a longish section on the problem of #MultilingualResearch and the question how differences among the #disciplines affect the progress of OA.

I love this cover even more seeing the full jacket! Especially with this blurb from
@quixotical: "This book is organized around a central pun like all great works of scholarship." 😂🤣

Hi there!

Wanted to #introduce myself after having moved to sciences.social.

I am a #sociologist working as a junior professor for #highereducation research at Humboldt-Universität #Berlin.

Most of my work revolves around academic #careers, #evaluation, and #disciplines. Two #research projects are on postdoc careers and the notion of risky research.

Looking forward to collegial exchange!

@terrillwelch What a #cool way of looking at it, thank you! That is very much how I see #Mastodon.

Nothing that comes from within us is mutually exclusive. Why we think #ideas or #identities should be siloed into #disciplines is beyond me, as everything IS everything, all at once #interconnected. What an amazing #universe!

Here's to #artistic and #intellectual #squatters everywhere! 🥂

Nice example of #collaborativelearning across disciplines #heteaching #studentexperience #disciplines #highered #capstoneproject https://wonkhe.com/blogs/building-bridges-the-case-for-inter-faculty-learning/

Just discovered that a group about #politicalscience can be very undemocratic, qualifying some #disciplines as #unacademic because less theoretical. And the person leading this is of course a young white Northern male.

@noisyastronomer @academicchatter

It’s actually across #disciplines (vs within them) that I think #ImpactFactors are most problematic, since disciplinary citation practices & publishing speed vary so immensely

(My main fields, esp #sociology, sort of average out by being extremely slow—so at 5 yrs, an article might be just starting to show up in published lit—but also requiring a large number of #citations due to having few widely shared standards for good work, thus emphasizing “framing”)

I joined The Productivity Institute in Manchester in October and am now working on a paper reviewing the recent work of #productivity commissions across ten countries. A short preview of what I hope to bring to the UK discussion on productivity is here: https://www.productivity.ac.uk/news/international-comparisons-and-collaboration-key-to-tackling-productivity-challenges/ I think it is important to engage in #international #comparisons and #collaborate across #disciplines and #policy areas if we want to tackle the real challenges.

Another example of why I find "The Conversation" to be (more often) totally irrelevant and sometimes, like this, actively horrible.

A very badly presented argument about #interdiscipinarity. Claims without warrant or justification. Held together with a paste of whining.

Nothing in this article matches my experience or what I've learned actively researching these topics. #disciplines are usually the problem, not the solution.

Greetings, #SocialScience folks

@sociology
@linguistics
@politicalscience

Shouting out to any and all whose work is explicitly #interdisciplinary or using #HybridMethodology of one sort or another.

I'm testing Guppe groups to foster discussions across instances -- and #disciplines and philosophies, if we're lucky :)

I'd like to draw your attention to two new groups:
1 - @interdisciplinarity
2 - @communications

Give a follow!

Cheers

We have only one week to apply for these #research positions.

They are in diff #disciplines & levels:
you dont need to have a #PhD to apply (#ResearchAssistant), but with a PhD - #ECR or #experienced, #job expectations, flexibility, title & salary are diff
Look at them here 1/7 https://twitter.com/AnahidBasiri/status/1544619772779941889
