Comments Policy - New APPS: Art, Politics, Philosophy, Science - 1 views

      New APPS's comments policy. As an example, may be useful for our discussion of deliberation practices.
  •  
    I generally like New APPS's policies, but we need to do better than them when it comes to respecting the anonymity of commentators. On one occasion, Catarina Novaes partially identified an anonymous commentator by tracing his/her IP address (it came from her office building). I can't find the link to that post at the moment, but it was very bad form on her part (and on the part of other NewAPPS authors, who defended her actions). If we allow users to post anonymously, we must not reveal their identities. If we think that they are hecklers, we can delete their comments and ban them, but not provide any identifying information.

BioMed Central | The BMC-series journals - 1 views

    • Kris Klotz
       
      BioMed Central publishes several open peer reviewed journals. I've highlighted a relevant portion of its peer review policy.
  • Open peer review means that, firstly, the reviewers' names are included on the peer review reports, and secondly that, if the manuscript is published, the reports are made available online along with the final version of the manuscript. The published article will provide a link to its 'pre-publication history', which lists all the versions of the manuscript, all the signed reviews, and all responses to the reviewers since the submission of the manuscript until its publication.

Peer review process | BMJ - 0 views

  • The BMJ now has a system of open peer review. This means that reviewers have to sign their reports, saying briefly who they are and where they work. We also ask reviewers to declare to the editors any competing interests that might relate to articles we have asked them to review, and we take these into account when considering reviewers' comments. When such competing interests are too great reviewers usually decline the assignment. Open peer review does not mean that authors should feel able to contact reviewers directly to discuss their reports; all queries should still be directed through the editorial office.
  • We will send you a decision letter and report from the meeting as soon as possible; usually within a few days but longer if we have asked for an additional detailed report from the statistics editor or another reviewer. The report will list the names of everyone who took part in the discussion about your article.

Risk and Ethics in Public Scholarship | Inside Higher Ed - 1 views

  • Doing academia in public view is both a powerful tool and a potentially powerful weapon.
  • There is no buffer in public writing.
  • And for many readers the allure of attacking the writer instead of the work is too seductive to deny. That can be a shock when you are accustomed to the civil discourse, no matter how thin or banal, that governs academic critique.

  • While universities are quick to promote public scholarship they are loath to extend their responsibility to include refereeing the behavior of academics in the public sphere.
  • As my friend discovered, there is no ethic guiding public scholarship
  • The inequalities women and minorities face in traditional academic models only exacerbates the potential risks of contributing to public scholarship.
  • That is potentially devastating to those who would benefit most from the kind of visibility, credibility, and network building that public scholarship can provide.

      Lexicon Philosophicum (which works with Project Agora) uses open peer review after a double-blind peer review.
  • One-month of open-review, during which registered users of the journal platform will be enabled to comment on and to discuss the selected and peer reviewed papers. Authors will be able to use these comments and discussions to revise their final submission for publication.

OWS interviews Partido X - 0 views

  • the program of the Partido X is developed through crowd-sourced drafting of public policy proposals, where we invite groups or experts that are already working on a given issue and are socially recognized for it to submit the first draft of a policy proposal and later we post it online for the network to amend.
  • More than 2,000 people have participated so far in the amend processes, and as the platform grows so do their numbers: around 25,000 are registered in their newsletter, which is the first step to collaborate in the network.

  • agining America: Artists and Scholars in Public Life, a consortium supported by 70-odd colleges and universities, including Syracuse University and CalArts. Based at the University of Michigan, the consortium is establishing a "tenure team" to develop policies and processes that appropriately value public scholarship and engaged artistic creation in the cultural disciplines.
  • Our working definition of public scholarship in the arts and humanities comprises research, scholarship, or creative activity that: connects directly to the work of specific public groups in specific contexts; arises from a faculty member's field of knowledge; involves a cohesive series of activities contributing to the public welfare and resulting in "public good" products; is jointly planned and carried out by coequal partners; and integrates discovery, learning, and public engagement. As we move toward a consensus on what constitutes public scholarship, we are committed to developing criteria for the excellence of this work.
  • We are also looking for a broader definition of "peer" in "peer review," to include recognized nonacademic leaders in public scholarship and public-art making
  • Perhaps most important, we are recommending that faculty members and evaluators not advise junior colleagues to postpone public scholarship if that is where their passions lie.

Public Scholarship | Simpson Center for the Humanities - 2 views

  • Its ethics and values hold central:
  • Relationship-building, reciprocity, and mutual benefit Participation, transparency, and reflection Innovation, integration, and dialogue Cultural diversity and social equality In coming to these forms of “applied” scholarship, humanities scholars have emphasized the way that culture in its many forms mediates interactions, development, and knowledge.
  • Publicly-engaged scholarship yields diverse artifacts, informing knowledge in multiple domains Policy and planning recommendations Museum exhibitions and public performances New curricula for courses or workshops Books and journal articles As consequence, public scholarship also yields new connections among disciplines, communities, and sectors.

  • Public scholarship refers to diverse modes of creating and circulating knowledge for and with publics and communities. It often involves mutually-beneficial partnerships between higher education and organizations in the public and private sectors.
