Dear colleagues, I hope you're well.
I'm writing to let you know that our regularly scheduled work-in-progress talk will be given by Simine Vazire at 1 PM tomorrow at 17 Wally's Walk, Macquarie Park NSW 2113. Here are the details: Simine Vazire (University of Melbourne) Journal prestige can and should be earned With prominent threats to trust in science around the world, it is especially important to make clear why scientific institutions, including journals, are worthy of trust. Too often, journals’ reputations are unearned—based on flawed metrics such as impact factors, or simply the inertia of prestige. But journal prestige can and should be earned. Journals that invest in and facilitate both pre- and post-publication quality checks, error detection, and correction are the ones that deserve the most trust, and the most prestige. You can find logistical details here: https://mqphilosophy.github.io/seminars With the new Metro line, it is now easy to get to Macquarie via public transport. Hope to see some of you there!
