I caved and bought a hobby at the local shop. And it looks like this pull will pay me back with room to spare!

I did my pre-order along with Stadium Club so they're holding onto it until the 18th 😭

Now you're seeing it!! Look at their second half run differential!

Been trying to compile notes of thanks received for my R packages and just noticed that one person complimented me on the package's "well-written vinaigrettes" 😂

I remember when he said that

No doubt that communication faculty publish less than peers in those other fields, although one wonders how much of that comes from limited opportunity in our journals! (probably not the major factor is my guess)

Well I don't have a strong view on the right amount of publications without more thought, TBH. I can say in the US, there are >2x communication students compared to political science. Roughly equal amounts compared to psych. Faculty to student ratios likely lower in comm. though.

# of articles published by leading social science journals in 2024:

Journal of Comm. 36
Comm. Research 38
JMCQ 37

AJPS 90
APSR 127

Psych. Sci. 94
JPSP 102

Communication flagships... what we doin

(This is not to badmouth South Carolina, which has some good ones. And I don't know whether it's a good expenditure of money anyway)

Fun feature of these things is when there's a yearly cap and you don't know if it will run out before your acceptance

Yeah I am probably wrongly assuming that my uni's agreements (which largely only cover hybrid journals where you don't *have* to pay to publish) are as good as it gets.

In fact now I check and see that my alma mater has some pretty author-friendly agreements

Currently deliberating spending a grand of my own money to get a paper into a decent OA journal that doesn't charge quite so much. Wonder what the ROI for a journal pub is...

How are my fellow comm researchers affording these $2K-$4K open access fees 🤔

Hello, fellow kids

aw shucks, we probably don't even have software to do a fancy pants model like that

Pirates who ripped their early 2000s DVD releases are the only ones making the show available in something like its original state

Even affects stuff that isn't exactly "high art." This summer I decided I wanted to watch old eps of Roseanne. All official channels have really bastardized it: it's cropped (lot of weird compositions as a result), scenes are chopped up to cut time for syndication, and it has a horrific AI upscale

Had a visitor today

Old version of the textbook I use has the meme on the cover

maybe it's time for me to try teaching R to undergrads again

Picking an undergraduate methods textbook has me once again feeling that "I need to write a textbook" itch...

hits like crack

TIL that the "journey" part of the word "journeyman" has nothing to do with travel. I always associated it with veteran athletes who often bounced from team to team on short-term deals (you might say journeyed!). But turns out "journey" is just anglicized French for "entire day"

To clarify, for the first position we seek "environmental, risk, or science communication" focus!

We are hiring for several positions this cycle: Assistant Prof in Sci Comm, Assistant Prof in Health Comm, Open-Rank in AI. I think this is a great place to work. More info here: sc.edu/study/colleg...

FWIW, this is T&F submission tracker so IDK if it says "with editor" while editor is waiting for reviewers to agree to review. Last time I submitted something through them it went from "with editor" to "out for review" in 9 days

What's your threshold for how long a journal submission can stay "with editor" after initial submission before you start asking questions?
