Ask a Researcher

During this session, researchers in different stages of their careers will share their perspectives. The panel will cover various topics, including expectations from journal publishers, researchers’ interest and capacity in serving as editorial board members, and support they need to publish their research. The panel will describe the tools and methods researchers use to initiate the publishing process and the criteria they consider when choosing where to publish. The session will further delve into researchers' opinions on pre-prints and examine their thoughts on the feedback they receive during peer review. Additionally, the panel will discuss researchers’ involvement in editorial roles, including remuneration, peer-review requests, how early career researchers can participate in the publishing process, how researchers view participation in special issues or invited content, and researchers’ views on Open Access and Open Access mandates.

Oisin Ryan

1

Postdoctural Researcher, Department of Methodology and Statistics at Utrecht University in the Netherlands

My research touches on time series analysis and dynamical systems, causal modeling, graphical models, Bayesian statistics and computational modeling. The tools I develop are broadly applicable across different areas of (behavioural) science and I collaborate with researchers from diverse backgrounds, such as clinical psychology and psychiatry, biomedical research, linguistics and public policy. All of the code I develop is made accessible either through reproducibility archives or R packages.
