Voyaging from Cornwall to the funeral of a darling friend, but a crash has closed the m5. I won’t get there to carry her coffin as planned. Is Ruth having a giggle about that time she made me drive around narbonne at 2am to pick her up from a broken down train? www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Before Ruth died, we agreed on her ‘ghost’ sign. Experts say it’s a powerful tool for working through grief

I don’t believe in ghosts. But for the bereaved, receiving ‘messages’ from beyond the grave can help us feel connected to the departed

The latest post on our Scholarly Futures Substack is live and digs into how AI is used in peer review. It aids in technical checks & helps reviewers with their reports. But is there any governance or best practice out there? By @roobina.bsky.social 👇 open.substack.com/pub/scholarl...

Peer review needs a revolution. AI is already driving it

Challenges to peer review affect the quality and efficiency of academic publishing. AI tools already help reviewers and publishers but are we prepared for the future?

The U.S. Office of Research Integrity has been relatively quiet in 2025, releasing just two misconduct findings with only two weeks remaining in the year — the fewest the office has released since at least 2006. ORI typically releases an average of about 10 findings a year.

Last week I attended the #STMInnovation and #STMIntegrity days in London. I believe the scholarly research ecosystem needs to change in a pretty substantial way if we're to face in to the societal threats that have emerged. scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2025/12/17/w...

How much further can consolidation go in scholarly publishing, and could winds of change blow in from elsewhere to reshape the market, perhaps even ‘disrupt’ the way things are done? Latest by @roobina.bsky.social 👇 open.substack.com/pub/scholarl...

The last large acquisition before big tech brings big change?

The recent announcement that OUP is acquiring Karger heralds yet more consolidation in an industry where there have been growing concerns about market concentration, monetisation and monopolies.
