[Post-Conflict Research Center (PCRC) @PCRCBiH]

Together with local and international academics, this week in Sarajevo we investigated how school textbooks shape narratives around conflict, identity, and reconciliation in two days of workshops organized by @IBEI and #PCRCBiH. The researchers discussed the historical perspectives of post-Yugoslav identity, nation building, and the narratives of the nineties in textbooks of BiH and the world.

Don't miss today, 20 May, 16:00 CET @wiiw_ac_at:

What can the rise of China, the decline of the US, and the legacy of Yugoslavia teach us about the future?

Great news from Serbia. Huge anti government protests in Serbia. The number of people on the streets of Belgrade is like during the 90’s against Milosevic.

It will take some time but this is the beginning of the end for Vucic’s authoritarian regime.

V petek bo v Srbiji generalna stavka, prvič v zgodovini.

Solidarnost državljanov, je izjemna. Ogromna je to hrabrost, nepokorščina.

Restavracija Walter je v Srb grozila zaposlenim z odpovedjo, če stavkajo. Lastnik je Vucicev.

New Working Paper: Teenage boys and girls in Norway are more ideologically polarized than ever. Using data for 130,000 high-schoolers over 34 years, I find that a surge in anti-feminism among boys is driving much of the recent trend.📈

Who reviewed this paper?

A few days ago @gcabanac tweeted about a paper that had published a remark that it had been forced to cite irrelevant papers. You can see the tweet here: https://t.co/FpSr5QLPfW. We remarked that if it was not so serious, it would be funny.

Since reading that tweet, we have not been able to get it out of our head, so we thught that we would document it in a little more detail. We are doing this for three reasons.

1️⃣ In our view, it descerves more detail to be made available.

2️⃣ We'd like these details to be be kept as a matter of public record, so we are posting similar posts on our X account and our LinkedIn account.

3️⃣ It should be of interest to this community, so we hope that this raises even further the ethical issues around this topic.

The first image shows the paper that we are looking at. What is interesting is the text that appears on at the end of the introduction (highlighted in red). This appears to show that the reviewer insisted that a set of 13 papers be cited, else they would not accept the paper. It would be interesting to see the review repport, so that we could be certain what had been said. If you want to see the paper, it is available here: https://t.co/mlv5UDdp5T

In the rest of this 🧵, we show the papers that have been asked to be cited (i.e. [35]-[47]). These have been taken from the paper mentioned above. You'll notice (as we have highlighted it) that every paper is "et al." meaning, of course, that there are quite a few authors on each paper.

Gicven that we cannot see all the authors, the other images on this 🧵 shows the full set of authors on each of these 13 papers.

We leave it an an exercise for the reader to hazard a guess as to the reviewr is?

Good things are happening at @cpcs_journal. Impact factors aren't really a measure of quality, but still it's nice to see hard work paying off - especially for our publisher @ucpress, who took over a flailing journal and entrusted it to our editorial team.

Več info je v plakatu, če pa poznate starše s hčerkami, ki bi mogoče bili odprti za sodelovanje, prosim za delitev. Sem na voljo za vsa vprašanja!

hej, X-sledilci! Imam eno SUPER doktorsko študentko, ki piše disertacijo v uporabi družbenih medij (osredotočeno na objavljanje fotografij) pri najstnicah. Če imate ali poznate dekleta, stara med 12 in 17 let, ki uporabljajo Instagram/snapchat, bi bili zelo zelo veseli udeležbe!

[Tamara P Trost @TPTrost]

Zahteva cca 5 min na dan tekom enega meseca (online vprašalnik) in intervju s (zelo prijazno in strokovno) doktorsko kandidatko na koncu. Ne zbirajo se osebni podatki oz. fotografije ali karkoli spornega.

twin sister had half her thyroid taken out 4 months ago, sent her dr follow-up blood results, mentioning that she feels like shit constantly. Dr answered “your hormone levels are ok, go shopping or on vacation and your mood will improve” 🤬🤬🤬 (in Belgrade, Serbia)
