Very pleased to have arrived in sunny #Zurich where it’s some 15 degrees warmer than in icy Berlin. Looking forward to giving a workshop on #academicpublishing as a #career path.

I’m also unsure how NIH’s immediate open-access requirement is changing things. Are libraries cancelling subscriptions, negotiating harder, or expecting something different? Librarians: I’d love to learn. Replies or DMs welcome.

🚨New online: Zmire and Lee on Trump's protectionist trade policy & a possible approach to navigating a volatile trade environment.⬇️
tandfonline.com/doi/epdf/10....
#AcademicPublishing #AcademicSky #InternationalRelations #Trade
ABSTRACT Donald Trump's protectionist turn posed critical challenges for allies embedded in global supply chains. This article compares the European Union's strategy of rules-based resistance with South Korea's strategic accommodation regarding the Section 232 tariffs. Despite divergent approaches, economic outcomes proved strikingly similar, as neither resistance nor accommodation significantly altered bilateral trade structures or US deficits. This convergence is attributed to deeply embedded supply chains, the limited efficacy of tariff coercion, and US domestic constraints. However, political consequences differed markedly: the EU accelerated its drive for strategic autonomy, whereas South Korea reinforced asymmetric security dependence. Drawing on these insights, the study argues that the structural economic nationalism of Trump 2.0 renders previous singular strategies insufficient. Instead, the article proposes a hybrid framework - combining selective resistance, targeted accommodation, and long-term diversification - as the optimal path for middle powers navigating an increasingly volatile US trade environment.

"Our institutions signal a clear preference for quantity over quality" ➡️ it's time to drop speedy but low-quality and weak science, and steer the weel towards robust, reliable, but slow science -aka degrowth 😊✊📉💪

How did @Nature become "prestigious" to scientists?

In our opening article of Issue 09, writer Robert Reason traces the journal's history.

By understanding how Nature’s prestige was constructed, we can also clarify which elements are deserved and which are entrenched.

How valuable is research if the findings are not significant? And what effect will those papers have on the reputations of the scientists who author them? #AcademicSky #AcademicPublishing
Are Psychological Scientists Overvaluing Significance?
Some scientists are hesitant to submit nonsignificant results to journals, citing reputation as a major factor.
