New blog on the latest HEPI/ AdvanceHE student academic experience survey. The findings related to student views on freedom to express their views are striking and really do raise questions about the need for all that free speech regulation.
Is Free Speech Regulation Aiming at the Wrong Target?
HEPI and AdvanceHE have just published the latest student academic experience survey. There is much of interest in there but particularly the findings related to student views on freedom to express their views. It's all positive and does raise the question about the need for all that free speech regulation.

An online tool that tracks publishing patterns in academic journals could warn researchers about potentially problematic journals before they submit their work to them, says the tool’s developer.”

The free platform, called Journal Trends, could also allow integrity sleuths to spot low-quality publications.
