De acuerdo con esta propuesta 👇

Pero para atraer talento es tb indispensable simplificar las gestiones asociadas a la investigación y a la gestión de proyectos. Para empezar:
1. Abolir el requerimiento de usar la agencia de viajes
2. Subir dietas de alojamiento

Teacher bias or unobserved ability? @ssreditorial.bsky.social paper w/ @marespadafor.bsky.social Test score error & omitted behavior = 🐘 in the (class)room to identify SES discrimination.

Reminder that earlier naturalization leads to better integration of immigrants. Extending the period necessary for settlement in the UK will have exactly the opposite effect of what Starmer and the Labour leadership claim. "Migrants first have to prove themselves" is a nativist trope and bad policy.

Does being the corresponding author (CA) matter? After serving on many selection committees for grants, promotions, and hiring in EU sociology, I’d say no. Even author order matters little. What counts are solo publications and diverse co-authorships. So don’t bother being CA.

When submitting a co-authored paper to ESR (or any journal), choose the corresponding author carefully, considering affiliations and Read and Publish agreements with OUP.

Below are rules from the ESR Authors' Guidelines that prevent post-acceptance changes (set by OUP, not the editorial board).
