  • Peer review is worth saving
    There is a crisis in peer review. That crisis is a symptom of the wider crisis in higher education. In this track I discuss why peer review is worth saving, and making time for. I propose some principles to guide your decisions about this work. The quotation from Eugenia Zaroski is from “Holding Patterns: On Academic Knowledge and Labor" (medium.com/@zugenia/holding-patterns-on-academic-knowledge-and-labor-3e5a6000ecbf)The 2 Short Guides I mention can now be purchased in one eBook Scholarly Publishing & Peer Review buy.bookfunnel.com/1wgjsv08wt Excerpts from each of those books are also available in my track list on Soundcloud.Read the post here: https://jovanevery.co.uk/peer-review-is-worth-saving/For more content like this, sign up to the monthly newsletter: jovanevery.co.uk/newsletterFollow me on Twitter: twitter.com/JoVanEveryFind my Facebook Page here: facebook.com/JoVEAcademicCareerCoach Join the Academic Writing Studio: academicwritingstudio.co.uk

  • What is Real Writing anyway?
    When reviewing their accomplishments for the previous quarter a couple of members of the Academic Writing Studio noticed that they'd been telling themselves that some of the work they'd done wasn't Real Writing. In this track I look at 2 examples -- revisions after peer review, and working on projects with others -- why that happens, and what to do about it.Read the post here: https://jovanevery.co.uk/what-is-real-writing-anyway/For more content like this, sign up to the monthly newsletter: jovanevery.co.uk/newsletterFollow me on Twitter: twitter.com/JoVanEveryFind my Facebook Page here: facebook.com/JoVEAcademicCareerCoach Join the Academic Writing Studio: academicwritingstudio.co.uk
