Today I am overcome with pride: Congratulations to the excellent Nic Badullovich who is now officially Dr Nic!

Nic's PhD at the Crawford School of Public Policy examined how framing in climate change communication can be used to forge connections and bridge divides. During his PhD Nic did all the right things - he published and presented his work - but also went well beyond in the good things too: brightening spaces and uplifting others wherever he went.

Nic is now postdoccing at the Center for Climate Change Communication at George Mason University, where I know he will be continuing his important research and spreading kindness.

Well done Dr Nic, you absolute legend!

A couple of weeks ago I had my turn in the armchair speaking with the brilliant Gabrielle Chan for the Powerhouse Museum’s 100 Climate Conversations series.

@thesiswhisperer and a belated hello Professor Mewburn!

@brembs @anathema_device fascinating! Thanks for these links, I look forward to reading

@brembs @anathema_device I don’t quite follow your comment but would like to understand - where’s the more money bit? Is there a separate exchange happening to fund the OA agreement?

2023-01-31

@anathema_device 😂 The academic publishing business model is ridiculous!

Under normal circumstances, in many journals authors can publish for free, but then readers have to pay to access the articles (a 'paywall'), or access via a subscription paid by an institution like a library.

Alternatively, to increase open access to knowledge, authors could pay a publishing fee (separate to the peer review process) that would remove the paywall so readers could freely access the papers.

Both approaches ensure the corporate publishes profit greatly from the institution of peer review and knowledge creation...

Under this new agreement, neither authors nor readers will have to pay. Big win!

This is absolutely massive news
#OpenAccess

A screenshot of text that reads "Major new opportunities for Open Access publishing, with no author's fees. Our library has signed new agreements with major publishers so that ANU-based staff can publish Open Access in many leading journals without paying author's fees. This scheme is expanded from last year's version, and now includes Taylor & Francis, Sage, and Elsevier in addition to the ones included last year such as Wiley and Brill.

I can't emphasise how important this is: Open Access publishing in peer-reviewed scholarly journals gives your work a much broader audience. The library's new agreements mean that author's fees for publishing 'gold' (total) Open Access are waived for many of these publishers' journals if you work at the ANU. For information on the scheme, please see here."

#DiscoveryProjects #DP23

Smallest number & total funding for DP scheme since at least 2016!

Only 478 DPs funded. Normally ~600 (was 660 before $$ shifted to Linkage Program in '21).

Also lowest number submitted (2588) since at least 2016; still very low success rate (18.5%).
