Been a bit quiet lately - and definitely quiet in all this online debate about academia 👀 - because I've been recuperating from a nastly 1 foot fall. Seriously, only I could fall from a 1 foot height and end up in urgent care needing stitches and fending off questions of xrays.

Looking for peer reviewers for @EvidenceBaseJnl. Is anyone willing and available to review a manuscript on any one of these topics?: - Prisons in the Global South context - Police officer wellbeing - Violence against women and girls Let us know.

This discourse prompted some discussion among the Editorial team at #EvidenceBase. I'm exploring whether a special type of special issue is viable: a commissioned and deeply nuanced discussion about the ethics of 'Open' Criminology. Including, but not limited to open data practices.

Returning to this (sorry Matt, I partially agree with you), what happens to research that isnt paid for by the taxpayers? E.g., philanthropically funded, passion projects, and research in the Global South. Does that change anything about the moral calculus?

Got comments back from a non-funded SSHRC application on police preparedness for malevolent use of AI: "It seems to me to be applied rather than scholarly research" ...because applied research isn't scholarly for reviewer #2
