Why are journals still enforcing page/word limits?

Reflect on the last time you bought a paper journal.

Allow extended .pdfs in an era when people want to be explicit about their methods, analyses, and discussion.

@CCCAnimals @kaitrouillard @AcademicChatter @PostdocVoice It’s an automated email with no consequences. Associate editors barely have time to do their academic work, let alone check their journal emails to which many don’t get paid for.

@AdamCSchembri I would have to decline. I recently wrote a College-wide notification on how predatory journals often lean on big-named academics with the promise of discounted publication fees, knowing that they will use their social standing to facilitate the submission of several articles.

Take breaks and recharge.

It's important to take breaks and recharge in order to maintain your productivity over the long term.

Make time for activities that help you relax and recharge, such as exercise, hobbies, and socializing with friends and family.

@Kyle_Ireton Working from home conveys so many hidden values than just “being” at work. Productivity stems from less travel, fewer informal meetings, and overall less destructions.

Networking and collaboration is still there.

@tracyepton @maddyleather @Qualtrics Yeah they’ve had a lot of down time lately - may/may not be related to their new incoming pricing structure and the like.

@UnknownPostdoc @PostdocVoice @OpenAcademics @AcademicChatter I would typically indicate that I’d be on leave during that time and give a time in the new year when you’ll be free to review. If they don’t want to wait for your comments, then that’s indicative of their supervision style (or lack thereof).

We need to do more to support the mental health of those in academia. Let's create a culture of understanding and provide the resources needed for all members of the academic community to thrive.

Academics are under constant pressure to publish, teach, and compete for funding. It's important that we prioritize mental health and self-care in this demanding environment.
