This study moves beyond typical 'care and protection' frameworks to show how digital state surveillance impacts older adults' daily lives. bristoluniversitypressdigital.com/view/journal... Dennis Rosenberg, Avi Marciano, @sarasuarezg.bsky.social, Loredana Ivan, @mireiafa.bsky.social

Factors like age, gender, and education are less influential in shaping views of older adults on surveillance than users' digital habits, technostress, and conspiracy mentality. bristoluniversitypressdigital.com/view/journal... @mireiafa.bsky.social, @sarasuarezg.bsky.social, Unmil Karadkar

This paper reframes later-life 'privacy apathy' as a form of 'digital resignation,' which is used by corporations to legitimize mass data collection. bristoluniversitypressdigital.com/view/journal... @gallisv.bsky.social, @mireiafa.bsky.social, @sarasuarezg.bsky.social, Alexander Peine

Summary of the day (1/3) - Start working at 7:30 h after sleeping 4 hours - Deliver a paper at an amazing international conference (in an online panel, though) - Submit a very well-finished manuscript ... #AcademicSky #AcademicLife #LifeBalance

Web of Science takes action: Profesional de la Información, Artseduca, and four other journals analyzed in our Invasion of the Journal Snatchers study are now marked as "On Hold" in the Master Journal List. Notably, four of them were originally Spanish journals. Our study: doi.org/10.5281/zeno...

🤦 And I forgot to link to the paper that looked into that. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

It is not a secret that accessing some scientific literature is... challenging. Esp. out of some countries. That led to the rise of the Back Open Access phenomena. When asked, scientists are not apologetic about it and don't care - they want access. 🧪 #AcademicSky

En l'homenatge als 167 professionals de la informació assassinats a Gaza, @joanmariamorros.bsky.social denuncia la desprotecció dels periodistes i reivindica la necessitat de blindar la llibertat d'informar i d’expressar-se. A la @uocuniversitat.bsky.social amb @periodistes.cat #VeusSilenciades

I liked "Imperfection is grand". Describing Capitalism as having "no finish line. This means that endemic in our culture is a belief that as soon as we’ve done one thing we must go on to the other" reminds me of how Academia sometimes is, as well. #AcademicSky
