It looks like there is an agreement between the Uni of Exeter and
the Université Paris-Saclay to collaborate on a number of topics.
Who do I know at Paris-Saclay who is interested in doing something together?

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 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).

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.

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.
FediScience.orgMike Hucka (@mhucka@fediscience.org)The National Science Foundation has issued a notice about the use of generative AI in the NSF merit review process: https://new.nsf.gov/news/notice-to-the-research-community-on-ai

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
The trouble with all this talk of collaboration rather than competition in academia is how do we know who's winning?
Someone has to be winning right?
Tomorrow is day 1 of a 3-day Research Methods e-Festival and I am geekily excited about this. There are sessions on all sorts of things. Tomorrow I plan to attend talks on collaborative analysis with lived experience experts and prospective and speculative methodologies #academicchat #AcademicChatter #PhD #PhDChat
Humans engage with broadly two kinds of content.
Stuff that is valuable and useful to us
Stuff that is emotionally interesting or activating in some way.
For a great presentation you need to have both.

At one time Charles Sturt and Southern Cross looked at combining. I thought this had the potential to make us both more efficient. not both struggling to produce the same material with the limited resources regional unis have. So I'm sympathetic to the general idea of not one single regional uni but maybe some combos. #NationalRegionalUniversity https://tinyurl.com/4m5s4h2b

The ConversationA national university for regional Australia isn't necessarily a smart idea. Here's whyOne of the headline ideas floated by the Universities Accord is a second national university for regional students. This would be on top of the existing Australian National University.
