  Episode 62 - Can you vaccinate people against misinformation? With Sander van der Linden

  Sep 17, 202614 min

  Getting research out into the world is a big part of what societies do, and so is making sure it lands responsibly and that people can trust it. So what happens when misinformation gets in the way? In this episode, we hear a cut of the keynote from our London Society Executive Seminar, from Sander van der Linden, Professor of Social Psychology in Society at the University of Cambridge. In line with the theme of the seminar, trusted research in transformative times, he shares details of his research into misinformation and how we can actually ‘vaccinate’ people against misinformation by exposing them to weakened doses and teaching them to identify when information is unreliable – a theory which works much in the same way that a vaccine does.

  Episode 60: Sustainable Societies and Communities without Barriers

  Jan 29, 202422 minS0

  With seismic shifts in the research publishing landscape, how do societies need to adapt for their members? Embracing ‘openness’ in every sense – championing collaborative, diverse and inclusive communities, and advancing research that is accessible to all – is the key to societies remaining sustainable in an open future and staying at the heart of their communities. Taking a 360-degree view on ‘openness’, we dive into insights from this year’s Wiley Society Member Survey, to explore what matters to members, and how societies can deliver the support they need now and in the future.

  Jun 12, 202313 minS0

  How can societies shape their strategies, to make the most of opportunities in open access and position their journals for an open future? And what role do transformational agreements (TAs) play in those strategies; how can societies use TAs to develop and enhance the way that they deliver for their communities? In this episode, we hear from the Tri-Societies (the American Society of Agronomy, the Crop Science Society of America, and the Soil Science Society of America). They share their own perspective on OA and the role of TAs in helping them to achieve their goals. Thanks to Matt and...
