Most startling/chilling thing said to me in conversation at the #R2RConf: "I wonder how much longer academic freedom will be tolerated in IHEs." (Specific context: authors being allowed to choose where they publish.)

MISUNDERSTOOD: the term 'Academic Freedom' gets thrown around a lot in this space. Let's consider what it actually means https://www.insidehighered.com/views/2010/12/21/defining-academic-freedom … - it is not "the right to publish where you wish" - that's 'Academic Entitlement'

I don't think we're dealing with "misunderstanding" here, but with disagreement. For example, the AAUP's Statement on Academic Freedom includes, quite specifically, "full freedom in research and in the publication of results." See https://www.aaup.org/report/1940-statement-principles-academic-freedom-and-tenure … …. #r2rconf

Is there any evidence that researchers are actually being prevented from publishing what & where they want? Or is it just that if you want to get certain grants (or tenure/promotion), you have to play by the rules of funders/institutions? Because it has always been so. 1/2

If I want to get tenure & promotion at my institution, I need to disseminate a specified quantity of scholarly output through certain specified forms of dissemination. I can't just share research results via twitter. Is my academic freedom being violated? 2/2

I read that as meaning they are *allowed* to publish, not that they have full freedom in choosing *where* - I think the where question is absent from this statement.

I'm having a hard time coming up with a reasonable interpretation of "full freedom of publication" that does not include the right to decide who may and who may not publish one's work.
