How do #Accountability relations between #Intermediaries #Regulators & #RegulatoryTargets shape intermediaries’ decision to report targets to regulators❓

@evathomann.bsky.social points to intermediaries’ (non-)compliance as a problem of accountability 👇

When you're a public administration scholar, it really does not help being unable to type the word bureacuracy correctly. Sorry, bureuacracy. Argh.

I hear you. And while things clearly are not ok, I'm still sending transatlantic hugs. Haven't got much useful to say...

My above opinion neither refers to what people choose to do in their free time, nor to those who make up for it fair and square. 😀

Deffo not advocating overwork. Though speaking of it, unpaid blog writing and posting might add to that load. In practice reviewing, writing, editing usually happens during paid work hours, at least so it should IMHO

Disagree. Unlike a dedicated peer reviewer, I typically lack the specialized knowledge to assess a preprint's quality. Peer review is a key mechanism to secure the scientific validity of academic work IF done professionally. 95% of my work got better & errors were corrected thanks to peer review.

The way to counter the "academic publishing system is broken" narrative (which I disagree with) is to take our jobs as editors, reviewers, authors seriously. Blogs and preprints do not have the same scientific quality and legitimacy as peer-reviewed research.

I agree they are complementary and important. But they are also secondary to the core business (research, teaching, mentoring/supervision, admin) and therefore rival if they are prioritized over core business. Don't find "what's the rush" convincing-knowledge production matters just like careers

In an academic work day, the first four have equal priority to publishing, reviewing and editing, I would say. Social life, blogs and social media don't. So, don't publish one blog / post after another while I am waiting endlessly for your editorial decision/ review/ revisions. That sucks.

Unpopular opinion: academic publishing would be considerably faster if editors, reviewers and authors spent less time writing blogs and social media posts, and more time on their respective tasks.

Dear Swiss. It is time to realize who your natural ally is: the European Union. And yes, you do need them more than they need you. Please vote for the framework agreement, and do it soon.
