What's my weekly research-allocated-hours for getting fucking enraged at enraging things that might or might not directly affect my ability to pay my bills & live outside the threat of squaller, before deciding to write a grant proposal to research that specific flavour of societal bastardization?
ANYWAY, Research Professional, the canny lot, have learnt from THE that the way to get your clicks is to post a provocative headline on a Friday morning when academics just want to get angry and ruin their weekends.
Onwards with trying to write a paper!

Oh, one last note. I had raised this concern about external harassment of faculty in the hope of being proactive. I wanted systems set up expecting that it could become an issue. As someone who writes about disinfo, I've received angry emails, but didn't expect much yet at my uni. I was wrong.

Part of the lesson here is that the private publisher, Wiley, is systematically trying to take over editorial control of journals from academics. They are embedding these demands in new contracts and forcing the academics either to quit the journal or bow down.
A scab editorial team has taken over the corpse of Philosophy & Public Affairs, led by Jason Brennan, Chris Freiman, & David Lefkowitz.
