[JoPP-Public] JoPP in the News

[Mathieu ONeil]

Hi everyone


Angela was approached by a journalist for the Higher Ed section of The Australian as there has been some debate in Australia about formally recognizing the work of reviewers and editors when "ranking" researchers. The Law issue she co-edited with Steve has been cited on Twitter so I guess he heard about us through that channel. Angela referred him to me and we had a brief phone chat on Monday. I used the terms "open source" repeatedly in the hope that they would make it past the News Ltd filter but it was not to be. He got my facts right with the one exception of the opening para: it was as an author submitting to a big sociology journal that I had to wait seven months for a one-para useless review, not as an editor of JoPP... As Angela wrote to me privately he seemed broadly supportive of our aims and hopefully this will have positive outcomes. I scanned the article and am attaching it to this message, not sure if it will work though. The article will probably be put online in a few days, right now it is paywall-protected.


cheers,


Mathieu
