This is rather self-serving, even by my standards, but I made a plan with these “In Case You Missed It\u201d posts and I\u2019m sticking to it. I have been on the radio a couple of times in the past month talking about academic publishing. It\u2019s not a topic that often gets aired so I was pleased\u00a0to see two radio buses come along in quick succession, so to speak.<\/p>\n

A couple of weeks ago I was involved, along with many other contributors, on Alok Jha\u2019s two-part documentary for Radio 4 on rigour and integrity within science \u2013 which is impacted strongly by the pressure to publish<\/a> that is\u00a0associated with career advancement in academia.\u00a0Saving Science from the Scientists<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>may have a provocative title but it\u2019s a thoughtful and well-researched exploration of an important topic. Well worth a listen<\/a>, I’d say.<\/p>\n

And then last week I was on the late-night BBC Radio 3 programme Free Thinking<\/em>, hosted by Anne McElvoy. It\u2019s a weekly magazine show that tackles all sorts of ideas.\u00a0On this particular occasion<\/a>\u00a0there were segments on the history of the suit, educational testing and Neil LaBute\u2019s new play,\u00a0Reasons to be Happy<\/em>\u00a0\u2013 and, in the last five minutes, a discussion with me on the implications of recent moves to accelerate the publication of research results, which I\u2019d\u00a0written about for the Guardian<\/a>. If you want to hear what I had to say, scrub forward to about 40 minutes in\u2026<\/a><\/p>\n

Of course, having worked my way from Radio 4 to Radio 3, I\u2019m now waiting for the call from Chris Evans<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n
