Researcher to Reader Conference

I am not involved with @R2RConf although I the organizer, @CardenM, well. Early bird registration ends Wednesday, with a full refund if you change your mind by end Jan. Great conference programme, no risk. I wish other confs could do this in case attendee plans change.

Today is the last day of #R2RConf 'early-bird' discounts. Registrations are reaching record rates, even beyond pre-pandemic 2020. Be with the 'in crowd', and register today! r2rconf.com/2022/11/30/r2r…

‘Early-bird’ registration discount for #R2RConf closing at the end of November, so register now. It's totally risk-free, as you can cancel for a full refund anytime until the end of January. R2RConf.com

I just registered for the Researcher to Reader Conference 2023 @R2RConf. I happen to know for a fact that the program will be phenomenal. Join us! r2rconf.com/r2r-registrati…

@RouhiRoo @wileyinresearch Anyone who thinks #hybrid is going to make #scholcomm conferences cheaper doesn't understand the technology/expertise required to make a #hybrid meeting actually work. It's expensive AF (loving this template, @RouhiRoo !)

Anyone that thinks #openscience is going to make #scholcomm cheaper doesn't understand the technology/expertise required to make openness actually useful. It's expensive AF. #deepthoughts #metadata #deathbythousandcuts @wileyinresearch

@gwendabird Mostly because hybrid is HARD and EXPENSIVE and arguably WORSE (more clunky for all than just online or just physical). But we still believe it is necessary, obligatory and worth it. R2RConf.com

Why oh why are almost all events now in-person? One silver-lining for academia 2020-2021 was online events. Don’t we want to even gesture towards inclusivity anymore?

@profjamesevans @dashunwang Prof Evans' 30 min talk at @R2RConf covers a lot more than what's here, so I recommend giving it a watch. Here's where he starts talking about this study: youtube.com/watch?v=XSAlAc…

@profjamesevans @dashunwang In other words: Large teams hill climb Individuals and small teams scatter

If we want disruptive science, what type of teams should we fund? I attended a talk by Prof James Evans (@profjamesevans) about this back in 2019. I think about it most weeks. Here's a summary 👇

@CardenM At #R2RConf in February, our most international panel was a moderated conversation, pre-recorded and edited down from 2 hours to 30 minutes, followed by 20 minutes of fully-live hybrid Q&A. A lot of work, but it seemed to go very well. youtube.com/watch?v=fV4XVv…

@CardenM It is really hard to do a good global panel, given the timezones, tech risks etc, especially if you want to have an actual conversation, not a series of presentations (even if they are really good, as at #STMFrankfurt).

Four really interesting pre-recorded presentations from around the globe at #STMFrankfurt But not really a Panel.

#R2RConf will be in a hybrid format again for 2023, in a live and highly-interactive meeting on 21-22 February, in London and everywhere. Register today, risk free, as we offer a 100% refund option until the end of January. r2rconf.com/r2r-registrati…

@cofactoranna Yes, debates CAN have the vices expressed in these Tweets. Maybe different issues are suited to different formats, and a well-manged debate can (sometimes) bring clarity to a carefully-articulated binary issue. #R2RConf also has collaborative workshops and interactive panels.

@csugimoto @kholmber @RodrigoCostas1 @timothydbowman I realise that Turku in September is more attractive than London in February, but WHEN are we going to see you at #R2RConf ? 2023???

Delightful to reconnect with friends and colleagues at #nwb2022 hosted in Turku! Looking forward to the conference tomorrow! @kholmber @RodrigoCostas1 @timothydbowman

The #R2RConf Call for Papers is still tantalisingly open for a few more days. We have a good response so far, and welcome more. We particularly seek proposals on: Funding, AI, Integrity, Peer Review, Evidence Synthesis, Metadata, OSTP Policy, Discovery and Registered Reports.

Proposals still coming in for the #R2RConf Call 4 Papers. Keep 'em coming! Happy to receive more proposals over the next few days.

Today is the closing date for the #R2RConf Call for Papers. But most people will probably be late, especially if they are at #alpsp2022, so we are extending the open period by a week, as usual, to allow people to get their last-minute proposals in to us.

Ok, the #R2RConf Call for Papers seems to be happening as normal; one proposal on Monday, two on Tuesday, six so far today... Looks like it might be a busy few days to come. Please get your proposal in over the next few days.

One problem with conference panels (even brilliant ones like the #alpsp2022 Books panel) is that the first 20 minutes is all introductions. This is why we have mostly banned introductions and mini-speeches at #R2RConf panels. r2rconf.com/r2r-call-for-p…
