Academic Trax

Academic Trax: Episode 25

In Episode 25, Bryony and Jon banter about the process of getting tenure, writing your package, and why it takes sooooo long. Along the way, we get sidetracked with pretentious diplomas and scroll through our Slack feed for interesting tidbits. Jon screws up the meaning of subjective and objective, which surely means he's ready to be a tenured professor. Lastly, there is foreshadowing for the next episode. (We are posting this out of order because this is fresh and recent. Episodes 23 & 24 have been recorded and will be online shortly!) Let us know what you think.

Academic Trax: Episode 21

In Episode 21, Kyle and Jon discuss research publishing and software standards for research publishing. The discussion then meanders into open source publishing versus e-print publishing and presubmissions for peer review. Jon and Kyle then banter about adding editorial oversight to so-called "Xiv" publishing sites. Some of the sites we discuss are the engrXiv [http://blog.engrxiv.org/], the Journal of Open Engineering (TJOE) [http://www.tjoe.org/about], and the Journal of Open Source Software (JOSS) [http://joss.theoj.org/].
