  • Cost of Peer Review Exceeds the Cost of Giving Every Researcher a Grant Scott Leslie passed this along. "We show that the $40,000 (Canadian) cost of preparation for a grant application and rejection by peer review in 2007 exceeded that of giving every qualified investigator a direct baseline discovery grant of $30,000 (average grant). This means the Canadian Federal Government could institute direct grants for 100% of qualified applicants for the same money." Ironically, this report is published in a subscription-locked peer-reviewed paper, the total cost of which is entangled in the mechanisms for selecting which papers are good enough to publish. Pot, meet kettle. A.J. Cann, Science of the Invisible, April 21, 2009. [Comment] [Link] [Tags: Subscription Services, Books, Canada]

    I should really make a list of "requirements" to take to the meeting to find out whether the service being presented would indeed allow all this stuff. I was at a training course last Friday on audience voting systems and we had a go at using a thing called PollEverywhere which allows voting by text, web or twitter. David, I think you've mentioned PollEverywhere before? It is rather good. You can get a free Higher Ed account for up to 32 participants...doesn't do any reporting, or there's a variety of paid plans which give access to more sophisticated features. It's quite neat. http://www.polleverywhere.com/
