OxTalks is Changing
Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
Accept this paper (with Andrea Wilson)
“We develop a new model of rejection rates at journals. We assume that authors with papers of heterogenous quality choose from an array of journals of varying calibers. A publication with twice the caliber is worth twice as much to the author. Journals promise an acceptance bar and an eventual quality of accepted papers.
In the unique rational expectations equilibrium, rejection rates are hump-shaped in caliber, and rejection losses are maximized for journals of intermediate calibers — not the highest or lowest. This shows that journal rankings based on selectivity are inherently flawed. This logic intuitive extends to college rankings. “
