Latest study explores the transformative potential of #VR and #AI for assisting individuals with #autism in navigating the world more effectively. This #openaccess #research opens new pathways in understanding and support.

I'm having this discussion on FB right now with folks in my academic circle. Publishers make enough money to pay reviewers/editors. They also have the infrastructure to create a meritocracy if they so choose. But the issue goes way beyond payment. This is a complex, systemic problem with no easy fix

If journals are overwhelmed with submissions and underwhelmed by response from reviewers, how can we maintain timely, peer-reviewed, high-rigor science dissemination? #science #academic @academic-chatter.bsky.social

I am hearing this feedback from some editors... Should reviewers get paid? by who?

Excited to share free-to-read link to our article on entangled eclecticism in LXD, co-authored with @isaja.bsky.social Andrew Tawfik, and Yvonne Earnshaw. Blends sociotechnical and pedagogical systems theories to enhance learning experiences:
