Is your point that comm science journals should publish more articles? Because I cannot keep up with the amount of publications relevant to my interest now 😅
Also, aren’t both pol science and psychology many times larger as fields than comm science?

Eine rechte US Regierung kündigt eine „Blitz Operation“ gegen die eigene Bevölkerung an - irre übrigens, das unkritisch als News abzudrucken btw. Und hierzulande überlegt der Feuilleton, ob nicht doch irgendwie der „linke Zeitgeist“ an allem Schuld sein könnte.

Dreamt that I taught an elementary school class tonight and now I don’t know what to do with that in my teaching philosophy 🤷🏻♂️
At some point, all classes gathered in a big auditorium for lunch and each class sang in a choir.

Guess heavily AI „assisted“ reviewer comments are our brave new age of peer review now lol… we’ll only get overly generic recommendations in lists of three applicable to a wide range of input texts and odd typesetter-level punctuation from now on.
Only consolation: The former we also got without AI.

You know what’s really relaxing after #ica25? Being able to sit in a café/restaurant as long as you wish, not being rushed out the second you put your fork down 🙌
(I know that’s because US staff can’t make a living without max. fluctuation - makes it all the more annoying/wrong on multiple levels)
