June 07, 2021133: Manuscript submission fees
Some journals use nominal manuscript submission fees to discourage frivolous submissions. However, it has been suggested that increasing submission fees could reduce article processing charges. Dan and James discuss this proposal, along with the recently released code of conduct for scientific integrity from the Swiss Academies of Arts and Sciences.

May 17, 2021132: Post-pandemic academia
Dan and James discuss how academia should operate in a post-pandemic world. What pandemic practices should we keep and what should we abandon?
Links and details:
Quiz: Norwegian metal band or Norwegian town?
Things are slowly getting back to normal in some (but not alI) countries. So what academic practices and routines should we keep from the pandemic and what should we kiss goodbye?
Would it be possible to be physically located at your local university but to be employed/educated at another university?
Video abstracts are now an option is some journals, here's an example
Presentations might be more convenient online, but it's hard to replicate a good poster session
What is the actual point of academic conferences?

May 03, 2021131: Long live the overhead projector!
Dan and James answer listener audio questions on indirect costs for research grants, the mind/body problem, and why many academics aren't trained to teach. They also profess their love for the overhead projector
Some more details:
Should we require universities to justify overhead costs, like heating and electricity?
Overheads can inflate the costs of grants, some grants provide an additional percentage for overheads but others don’t allow this, which can eat into grants
Get to know the people in your local grant office!
Indirect costs at MIT
A primer on indirect costs and why they are important to MIT
Does it matter that we address the mind body problem in psychology?
On the teaching of the history and philosophy of science (or lack thereof) in psychology courses

April 19, 2021130: Normalizing retractions (with Dorothy Bishop)
Dan and James chat with Dorothy Bishop (University of Oxford) about the importance of normalizing the retraction of scientific papers, publication ethics, and whether paper mills (companies that make fake papers at scale) are an issue in the psychological sciences
Here are some links and stuff we covered:
Dorothy's thoughts on how the adoption of open science practices has been progressing since we last had her on the show in June 2018
The European Research Council's new open access journal, which is free to publish in if you're ERC funded
Dan's proposal of something similar in a 2019 The Chronicle piece (free to read with email signup)
Dorothy's recent blogpost on publication ethics
The Society for Microbiology piece behind the blogpost
Our episode with Elisabeth Bik
Image manipulation in scientific papers
Why don't publishers have agreements with authors that if they discover something dodgy in papers the author can't sue them?
Retraction notices don't easily discriminate between fraud and mistakes, and this is one reason why that authors are so reluctant to have their work retracted
James' fictional paper mill story (based on real fraud), that he wrote with Otto Kalliokoski
Are paper mills a problem in psychology?
Dorothy's Oxford photo challenge

March 15, 2021128: How do you generate new research ideas?
Dan and James chat about how they come up with new ideas, why everyone seems to be trying to monetise their hobbies, and why it's so hard for most labs to have a singular focus of research.
We had some problems with James' mic so the quality of his audio wasn't up our usual standard. To make up for this we've added one of our older bonus episodes at the end of this conventional episode (this begins at 54:18). These bonus episodes are typically only made available for our Professor Fancypants Patreon patrons, but now you'll get to hear one!

March 01, 2021127: Speak up or shut up?
We discuss when is the right time in your academic career to begin speaking up to critique your research field or whether the risk of retaliation means you should shut up and keep your head down. This was a recorded Clubhouse chat, which includes some audience interaction at the end.
