I'm looking for a replacement for MS Publisher. It has been my go-to application for anything that needs a detailed layout for printed materials (e.g., #academicPosters, #flyers, table tents, #businessCards). Now that #Microsoft will stop supporting it in October, I need a new idea.

What is everyone else using for desktop publishing?

#Canva is great for some projects, but the translation to printed materials has issues (like not being able to set margins). I've also tried #InDesign, but that has a steep learning curve and is overkill for what I need.

And no Word or PowerPoint. I've tried those too. This is not what they are designed for.

A doctoral student recently came with a weird question: their supervisor told them that "examiners would be reassured" by seeing many connections on LinkedIn.
I have many ethical issues with the framing and with LinkedIn itself (despite having an account there), but I'd love to know from experienced scholars (maybe examiners themselves): how and why would examiners be concerned with my LinkedIn account?

❗Update on Plagiarism and Falsification in Scientific Publications

Today, I officially submitted requests for the retraction of articles to the editorial boards of the journals "Land Reclamation and Water Management" and "Bulletin of NUWM".

❗Key facts of misconduct:
🔹 Plagiarism: Unauthorized use of my original relief map (2015) without citation.
🔹 Falsification: Intentional removal (retouching) of the author’s stamp with coordinates and date-time on site photographs.
🔹 Duplication: Publication of identical material in 2021 and 2024.

Next steps:
In the event of attempts to covertly remove the articles without an official retraction notice, relevant complaints will be forwarded directly to @crossref and the international members of the editorial boards.

RE: https://mstdn.social/@junesim63/115849070993758165

I find appalling that West universities are so silent about this, and many still cooperating with Israeli universities, while schools of arts and humanities like the one I'm doing my PhD fill their mouth of "class struggle, decoloniality and [insert your favourite academic leftwing jargon].

#AcademicMastodon #AcademicFedi #Academia #HigherEd

It's only shortly past 8 in the morning, but I need to #vent.
I just overheard a new #tenure track assistant #professor talk about how they got there.
In a nutshell, they haven't left the department since their master studies and stumbled into the tenure process by accident.

I am (kinda) happy for them, but I am also so incredibly fucking jealous!

I have switched not only university but country after every degree/job, so by now I live in country number 5 since starting by studies.
The longest I've been in the same country was during my #PhD plus pandemic and unemployment for over a year.

Especially older #academics don't seem to understand this, because whenever I mention any of this I encounter completely blank stares. Note, I'm in a department where most senior staff is local and celebrating 15-35+ years at the same employer.

I'm in my mid-30, I don't want to move every few years when my temporary contract ends.
I want to be able to plan more than 1-2 years at a time.

I absolutely love doing #research, but I hate so many aspects of #academic culture or what has been normalized over the years for #AcademicLife.
I plan on staying in #academia despite of it.

#Rant over, time to calm down and sip my tea.

Remember the academic dogma: decolonisation, politics, systemic analysis...all are for an intellectual entertainment to produce papers, not to be applied in real life.

Hey academic Fedi,
I'm regularly thinking that it would be useful to have a tool that helps me find articles that cite a paper to contradict (or at least "contrast") its result.

It seems that scite [1] does this but they requires a pretty steep subscription given that I'm not sure how reliable their tool is and that they also advertise a chatbot...

[1]: https://scite.ai

Does anyone know of something similar, or a workaround to achieve something similar using standard scientific search engines?

If you don't know, boosts are also appreciated to help the person who might know see this post 😉

Hello #Fediverse @academicchatter
I need your help for a privacy-focused local-host (run offline from my computer) transcription software.

I am (luckily?) collecting more interviews than I planned and transcribing manually is becoming a giant task, so it would really be helpful to have an automatic assistance.

Any suggestions?

"The real deficit that workers from lower social-class origins suffer in school is not intellectual but cultural: They know less than those from higher class origins about what the pathways to education are and how to make the most of them. Evidence from elite colleges indicates that cultural capital matters more than financial capital in predicting which students will succeed."

Today, I'll be presenting a second paper at #ASEEannual. This paper summarizes lessons shared through The Grainger College of Engineering Lab & Design Community of Practice over the past three years. We hope it will help other instructors teaching undergraduate engineering laboratory courses. Stop by the @asee_nee Technical Session at 1:30 pm in E144 to learn more.

College for intergenerational mobility provides another perspective with which to champion higher education: "The deep inequity of the anti-college movement," Jose Luis Alvarado (The Hill, 10/28/23): https://thehill.com/opinion/congress-blog/4281108-the-deep-inequity-of-the-anti-college-movement

We have looked to MOOCs, OERs, open access publications, and online education generally to widen access to higher education for those disadvantaged by the digital divide as well as for learners worldwide who are not affluent enough to access f2f higher education.

Although Dr. Alvarado's article is closer to my experience than you'd imagine, I relied upon the merits of millenia of academia for a series on the academic life, including "The Idea of the University"; download from: https://hcommons.org/deposits/download/hc:26460/CONTENT/academic_life_series.pdf

Although the #COVID pandemic has accelerated research and highlighted the benefits stemming from publicly-funded basic research, it has also revealed structural issues within #ResearchCulture globally.

@gubi How did this move from #Mendeley to #zotero work for you?

"Online Education as a Discipline" (2021) was the culmination of 25 years, and has been read by around 8,000 teachers and researchers worldwide at https://www.researchgate.net/publication/353073973 (16 recommendations) and https://doi.org/10.20935/AL434

Educators and scholars in all fields should find the article informative. It has been cited mostly in reference to Emergency Remote Teaching, but it goes beyond that issue to the role of academics in society, and the case of India. It defines terms including online education, and starts by explaining the difference between a field and a discipline.

In case any UC profs follow me on here: If you get the chance and haven’t yet, do head out to the pickets. It meant a *lot* to us at NYU in Spring of last year when our profs came to the picket line to encourage us, participate, and show support. You’ll win major kudos with the grads.

Introduction:
I'm an associate professor of comm. Lately, I've focused my research + teaching on ecosystems of (mis/dis)information during a time of declining local news presence + trust in national media. I also study the history of comm and technology, looking closely at military ads and recruitment. I am glad to be on a decentralized platform and root for a public interest internet.
