[SydPhil] Macquarie work-in-progress talk: Simine Vazire

[Mark Alfano]

Dear colleagues,

I hope you're well.

I'm writing to let you know that our regularly scheduled
work-in-progress talk will be given by Simine Vazire at 1 PM tomorrow
at 17 Wally's Walk, Macquarie Park NSW 2113.

Here are the details:

Journal prestige can and should be earned

With prominent threats to trust in science around the world, it is
especially important to make clear why scientific institutions,
including journals, are worthy of trust. Too often, journals’
reputations are unearned—based on flawed metrics such as impact
factors, or simply the inertia of prestige. But journal prestige can
and should be earned. Journals that invest in and facilitate both pre-
and post-publication quality checks, error detection, and correction
are the ones that deserve the most trust, and the most prestige.

With the new Metro line, it is now easy to get to Macquarie via public
transport. Hope to see some of you there!

Best wishes,

Mark
