University departments are supposed to produce research, so they compete for big grants. In natural #science, this is unproblematic because you can't really produce top-level research without big grants.
In the #Humanities however, you can. So the system of incentives is counterproductive here. The fastest way to get top-level publications out of a humanities scholar is not to make her compete for big grants. It's just to give her 75% research time. 1/2

Sharing from another medium, this seems pretty useful if you are in the #USA, feel free to use and share (check all the tabs at the bottom of the website):
"I’ve been leading a project to communicate the impact of these cuts to the general public, and measure attitudes and support for science. We’ve developed a public website that aims to helps people understand these research cuts and why they are harmful.
If you are able, please help to signal boost such as by sharing on social media or with friends/family! If we can reach a broad audience, we hope that we can meaningfully shift public opinion and elevate the importance of this issue.
I'm trying to read a #Neuroscience paper published by #Wiley and it's showing me a banner that says only "healthcare professionals" should be reading the paper. What's up with that? Researchers are not allowed to read papers anymore? 🤔
Impossible to find a way to contact Wiley about it, but maybe someone out there will know them and might be able to ask what is happening?

Without looking it up, how much do you think the authors need to pay to get 1 scientific article published in Science Advances (an online open-access journal)?
Update: and the answer is.. $5,450.

Looking into #ScienceAdvances as a journal to publish in..
Why is there a reference limit, and why is it so low (80 references)? In this day and age? For an online-only journal?
PS: remember that you can rate the submission & revision process of journals on #SciRev scirev.org/
