Early careers spent grinding teeth, not cutting them
Article Abstract:
Young academics are finding it harder and harder to get their work published in academic journals, a situation that many believe is holding their careers back. Many academics argue that a sizable proportion of the journals are poorly managed and have submissions processes that take far too long. The publishers acknowledge that it can be hard for academics to get published, but claim that often the length of time taken to either publish or reject an article is out of their hands.

Article Abstract:
An analysis of the state of dyslexia research and the argument that some students are abusing the diagnosis of dyslexia to gain an unfair advantage. Peter Shaw, professor of biochemistry at Nottingham University, notes that while true dyslexics have his sympathies, some people who say that they are dyslexic are really just "inherently lazy" illiterates who never bothered to put in the same level of work as other people at school.
