Look out for more Future Authors Forum events coming in 2026!
Here's a blog post on 'How to write an interdisciplinary abstract' I wrote following the successful launch of @academic.oup.com's Future Authors Forum in October last year. It contains eight tips for writing effective abstracts for interdisciplinary research articles in the Arts, Hums, & Soc Scis.

"Oh, maybe I'll go to this UKHE 'festival' as that seems the only way the minister will say anything about the sector she's in charge of (even if it's in conversation with the regulator that has been proven to be unfit for purpose and not with staff)"
Fucking hell.
100% agree with your #1. Other top picks are:
1) Bibliography doesn’t list any books by the publisher to whom the author’s proposing their book

Academia in 2025: For weeks I’ve been working through botched copy-edits of my monograph, outsourced by the publisher to a company I’d never heard of, until it finally dawned on me the terrible job might be AI.
