I'm sure this has been proposed before, but I would really love it if, when I accepted a request to review a paper, that provided me with access to the cited papers. Especially when they are from the journal or publisher I'm reviewing for...

I am delighted to announce that my data paper "Locations of Markets in English Market Towns, 1813: Constructing a dataset" has just been published (open-access!) in @ZfdG
This is a deep dive/behind the scenes look into the process and decisions that went into creating a GeoJSON data set of locations of markets, based on a list in a 19th century text.
It's also very fitting that this is announced first on Mastodon since this platform played a significant role in bringing my work to the attention of the editors.
The dataset itself is deposited with KCommons Works (@hello) and I've just used the editing feature to add the data paper as a related work with the "is documented by" relation.

Hey researchers, I'm looking for examples of #OpenResearch practices that you employ that directly benefit _you_.
I.e. things that work towards open science, but also benefit you directly (save you time/effort/money perhaps).
A full year of social media begging, sending out at least two applications a week, discussions with businesses that either go nowhere or are just extractive (tell us everything for free).
A full year of pretending that things are OK because we can't offend people by saying actually this is really badly broken.
I'm beyond comprehending any of this...
#gischat and #academicchat should probably read this thread, although I fully expect pure gaslighting from both channels.
Dr Anna Souhami is currently welcoming PhD applications. Her latest work uses ethnographic approaches to explore policing on remote Islands, and has been recognised with awards from the British and European Societies of Criminology. She has also conducted ethnographic studies of youth justice policy making, and of policing after the Stephen Lawrence inquiry.

In coming days, I'll add toots about our colleagues available to supervise, but feel free to reach out to me with queries on Criminology at Edinburgh.
is it possible to get an alert for when an molecular entity shows up in the literature (patent or otherwise), as one can with an article or author? #database #citationalert #scifinder #webofscience #academicchat #chemistry #chemiverse #proflife #EducateMePlease #science

While thinking about doctoral research salaries, it struck me that none of the people I know who had previous professional lives outside of academia have been able to find work as researchers, despite bringing a prodigious level of skills and experience.
Almost says something about academic culture huh?
A very happy day today as Ahmedul Kabir successfully defends his PhD thesis, Police Reform in Bangladesh: Readiness for Safeguarding Human Rights in Postcolonial Democracies, at the University of Edinburgh.
Bravo Ahmedul, and best wishes for the next steps.

That ghastly moment when your student tells you that they opened the inner door of your glovebox allowing a massive slug of air into the interior where you are storing precious samples of white phosphorus and more…We only regenerated the catalyst about four days ago… Cue me lying under the box to purge it with 50 bar cylinders of nitrogen. #learning #academicchat #chemistry (minor edit)

Hi, I read an article mentioning that JISC developed a new tool to check if a publisher complies with UKRI #OpenAccess policy. Does anybody have the link to such tool?

New NSF guidelines for grant review say that if you upload any part of a grant you are reviewing to an AI system like ChatGPT, etc; that constitutes a breach of the confidentiality you agreed to as a reviewer.
As a grant writer, totally up to you how you might use AI to help you write your grant. It sounds like NSF is now asking you to disclose how much AI is used to help prepare the grant.
In today's weird research adventures I have
a) used windows XP and an infrared communication device
b) acquired rubber gloves and medical tap
c) used a bunch of bike tools I never thought I would use
