LJMU Open Journals Service have just published their first Zine! It has come out of a monthly #Ethnography club meeting, and describes itself as a guerrilla-style Zine, 'publishing the unpublishable': openjournals.ljmu.ac.uk/EiD @ljmuresearch.bsky.social #OpenAccess #Publishing #Zines #Journals
Ethnography is Dead
The zine explores ethnographic and qualitative research as creative, critical, and reflexive practices.

wow — the preprint host, arxiv, is banning authors for a year if they submit papers with hallucinated citations 🤖
Helen Branswell 🇨🇦@helenbranswell.bsky.social · 3mo agoI find this unsettling: A new study in #Lancet shows that the number of faux citations in scientific articles is on the rise, and #AI is likely to blame. @aniloza.bsky.social reports. www.statnews.com/2026/05/07/l...
