What sessions are you planning to attend?

"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.

I'm looking again at the list of 55 journals de-listed by Web of Science this month for quality reasons. Among them, as others have noted, is the #MDPI flagship mega-journal International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health (IJERPH), as well as an astonishing 19 #Hindawi journals.

The list, via #RetractionWatch, noting which titles were de-listed due to editorial quality: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1AiUI0qf4SqXzn8OXy6HZtma3Z8sLgJIBtgAcv6D5mK0/edit?usp=sharing
