The #Journal of #Visualization and Interaction (JoVI) is a venue for publishing #scholarly work related to the fields of visualization and human-computer interaction. Cross-disciplinary work from other fields such as #statistics or #psychology, which is relevant to the fields of visualization or human-computer interaction is also welcome.

📢#OutNow in #OA: '#Migrant #Academics’ Narratives of #Precarity and #Resilience in #Europe', edited by Olga Burlyuk and Ladan Rahbari.

This volume consists of narratives of #migrant #academics from the #GlobalSouth within #academia in the #GlobalNorth.The autobiographic and autoethnographic contributions to this collection aim to #decolonise the discourse around #academicmobility by highlighting experiences of precarity, resilience, care and solidarity in the #academic margins.

Building on #precarity as a critical concept for challenging #socialexclusion or forming #political collectives, the authors move away from conventional #academic styles, instead adopting #autobiography and #autoethnography as methods of #intersectional #scholarly analysis.

On top of continuing #Covid deaths and disabilities, the politics of these states should be convincing orgs to have virtual/online conferences.

Friday reading! Preprint just posted on arXiv presents a new model for a distributed community-led #scholarly publishing system.

"We propose an academic publishing system where research papers are stored in a network of data centres owned by university #libraries and research institutions, and are interfaced with the academic community through a website..."

Open #scholarly infrastructure is so important to the health of open research. CORE (https://core.ac.uk/) is an important data platform for research #discovery, innovative forms of scholarship, and new service developments.

We are pleased to report that Strathclyde, with the support of the Library and our team, has become a sustaining member of CORE! 👍
