Is there a strain on peer review? – It’s more complicated than you think - Impact of Social Sciences The significant growth of academic publishing in recent years has led some to argue the system is reaching a breaking point, but is it this simple?

“Around 50% of funded research remains unpublished”✍️Ritu Dhand

Citation bias leaves valuable lab work unseen, fuelling duplicated effort. PWC estimates €26B lost in Europe alone. Time to rethink what we call ‘quality’!

"It is good for Subjects of any state to #travel; but for Artists, & certain Manufacturers, it should even be #ordered.
I do not believe it is possible to become an excellent Musician, Painter, Sculptor, Fabric Maker &c. without having seen France & Italy."

"Nothing polishes [people] more than #travel, so it is not wise to forbid Subjects to travel to foreign countries on the pretext that such journeys take too much money out of the country. However polished a country may be, it's impossible to have all Sciences, Arts, Trades

When I saw The Lives of Others, I thought for the first time that look, some of the Securitate people could have been as kind as anyone else.
One difference with now is that we all give access to so many people to our personal information. Our behavior re privacy radically changed in 2008 or so.

1 Introduction: American Philosophy and the Intellectual Migration 1 Introduction: American Philosophy and the Intellectual Migration was published in American Philosophy and the Intellectual Migration on page 1.

Very interesting book - or, at least, Introduction - on the #migration of #philosophers in the 1930-1940s to the USA.
They founded or influenced various schools from logical positivism to phenomenology and Frankfurt school

The ethics of immigration: How biased is the field? Abstract. Methodological nationalism is the assumption that nation-states are the relevant units for analyzing social phenomena. Most of the social science

On #immigration, true #cosmopolitans should argue that states violating people’s right to #free movement should either be sentenced, or owe compensations to the people harmed, or that States deserve #amnesty
Why has nobody ever considered these positions?

Hiring people to hunt migrants for $1000 each

Same day, a reputed journal from the same country rejected my paper because an author I mentioned in passing doesn't support the states' "right to exclude immigrants" but the demos' right to exclude them.
Not a big deal? Now, that we have a video... 😱

Le député Pouria Amirshahi interdit de visa aux États-Unis : « Quelque chose cloche au royaume de Trump » Le parlementaire écologiste devait se rendre sur la côte Est dans le cadre de ses fonctions pour élaborer le collectif « La Digue », qui se veut une coalition progressiste internationale. L’administration Trump en a décidé autrement, malgré le soutien du ministre des affaires étrangères.

Today, #Rawls in the #philosophy Baccalaureate exam in France, with a passage on the value of political freedom, written before social media.

IMO, Subject 2 suggests an objection to Rawls' view (and Mill's).

Vous me croiriez si je vous disais que c'est notamment à l'occasion de troubles intestinaux survenus en Angleterre que W. E. B. Du Bois s'est converti au socialisme ? Vous ne me croiriez pas. Pourtant, c'est bien ce qu'il écrit :
