In this informative episode, President and executive writing coach Christine Tulley interviews coach Heather Witcher about the growing trend of short form academic books. Learn what these publications are, who they're for, and why they're becoming increasingly popular among academic presses. Heather shares her personal experience publishing in Palgrave's Pivot series and offers valuable insights about the proposal process for these focused, timely works. This episode explores how short form books provide an excellent option for niche topics that may be too focused for traditional monographs but too extensive for journal articles. At 30,000-50,000 words, these publications occupy the perfect middle ground while still counting as book publications for most universities. Discover how these more accessible texts are aimed at both academic and general audiences, requiring authors to demonstrate current relevance and impact.

In this episode, Bad at Sports dives into the world of independent publishing, printmaking, and the intersections of art, academia, and production with two innovative presses pushing the boundaries of their respective fields. Hoof Print Press, based in Pilsen, Chicago, is not just a print shop, but a thriving print publisher that explores multiple media, including ceramics. Known for their dynamic exhibition series, they bring a unique perspective on the art of printmaking, combining tradition with modern experimentation. We talk about how they balance the fine art of print with the hands-on craft of ceramics and what it means to operate as both creators and curators in the community-driven Pilsen neighborhood. - Gabe Hoare on mic. Next, we're joined by Immaterial Books, a quasi-academic press that's redefining the possibilities of academic publishing. Immaterial tests the limits of what it means to produce knowledge and content outside the conventional capitalist distribution and production models. They explore nontraditional forms of publishing that challenge the boundaries between art and academia. In this conversation, we dive into how their radical approach to publishing engages with academia, art practices, and the broader cultural conversation around knowledge production. Phillip Kalantzis-Cope on mic. Together, we discuss how both presses navigate the evolving worlds of independent publishing and art production, and how their work is changing the ways we think about community, art, and knowledge distribution. Tune in for an insightful episode that explores the intersection of artistic practices, publishing, and the role of independent presses in today's creative and academic landscapes.

Lost in the Stacks: the Research Library Rock'n'Roll Radio Show
Guest: Lai Ma, assistant professor in the School of Information and Communication Studies at University College Dublin, discussing how AI will affect the scholarly publishing ecosystem, as described in her recent article: https://kula.uvic.ca/index.php/kula/article/view/287. First broadcast November 8 2024. Playlist here "I meant to say I was feeling nauseated."
We've reached that late post-spring time of year, as Michael judiciously puts it, and if you're lucky and industrious enough to have finished writing something over summer and you'd like to get published, we've got just the roundtable for you! One side of the table features experienced editors and the other side has young scholars with questions, so the end result is an engaging and enlightening discussion about how academic publishing works these days.
Earlier this month, a new journal based in Portland launched online with its first set of published scientific articles. But the Stacks Journal isn’t your typical academic journal, according to its founder, David Green, an ecologist who previously worked at OSU’s Institute for Natural Resources. He says that it removes some of the main obstacles associated with traditional academic publishing by being more affordable and available to anyone online. And it offers an alternative to the traditional model of peer review by having reviewers work together to provide feedback on a scientific paper and vote on whether it should be published. The process can be completed in just a few weeks compared to a year or more for an article to be published in a traditional journal. Green joins us to share more, along with Phoebe Parker-Shames, a wildlife ecologist at The Presidio Trust in San Francisco who recently authored a study published in Stacks Journal about the impact of cannabis cultivation on wildlife in southern Oregon.

Under the Cortex biweekly hosts authors of peer-reviewed articles. In this week's episode, we do things a little differently, take a step back, and explore what happens on the editorial side of scientific publishing. Simine Vazire, the incoming Editor-in-Chief of APS's journal Psychological Science, joined Özge Gürcanlı Fischer Baum to discuss her plans to further advance the practices of inclusivity in APS's flagship journal, she highlighted the current disadvantages in academic publishing in general and said that APS is a leader in supporting psychological scientists. The conversation evolved into topics of writing in English as a borrowed language, hidden curriculum in publishing and constructive practices such as pre-registration and reporting conflict of interest.
The podcast discusses an article co-authored by Andrew Page, examining the use of GPT-4 for research publication. The conversation focuses on the authorship of articles generated by GPT-4 and the implications for academic publishing. Authorship and Ethics: Andrew discusses the question of authorship when AI-generated content is involved in research articles. He explores the ethical implications and potential biases associated with AI-assisted writing, such as the omission of minority figures and novel discoveries. He emphasizes the importance of transparency when using AI and its potential to democratize research, as long as ethical guidelines are maintained. AI & Scientific Journals: The podcast delves into the current landscape of AI in academic publishing. It addresses the commercial use of AI in crafting manuscripts for research articles and the necessity of distinguishing between manual and AI-generated contributions. The possible misalignment of GPT-4's commercial objectives with academic goals is highlighted. Risks and Benefits: Andrew outlines the risks of using AI in publishing, such as unintentional plagiarism, biases, and outdated methods. He provides an example of bioinformatics software recommending deprecated methods, illustrating the need for caution. The conversation also touches upon the AI's potential to introduce bias unintentionally, citing past incidents where AI models quickly adopted extremist views. Andrew's co-authors, Niamh Tumelty and Sam Sheppard, bring different perspectives on ethics and the impact of AI on publishing. Niamh, associated with the London School of Economics, emphasizes ethical considerations, while Sam, editor-in-chief of Microbial Genomics, underscores the need to adapt to the reality of AI contributions in journal submissions. In conclusion, the podcast underscores the importance of recognizing and navigating the ethical challenges posed by AI in academic publishing. It suggests that the technology may evolve faster than policies can adapt, necessitating an ongoing conversation among researchers, publishers, and AI developers.
