Evidence underpinning the report identified an imperative to improve the frequency, fairness and focus of Australia’s quality assessment process and attendant value of ECEC service ratings. We interrogated the assessment process to ide...

Have you read first online #OA article by Sally Staton, Sandy Houen, Peter Rankin & Karen Thorpe 'Improving Australia’s quality rating and improvement systems for early childhood education and care' in AER? https://loom.ly/9H_OLds

‘Prestige’ is generally used in relation to larger commercial and uni presses (I’d argue often trading on outdated reputations).

Another plug for this very useful session on AI & OA. Caroline Ball @heroicendeavour.eurosky.social is right, if we talk only of legality and not intent and ethics (particularly on OA publishing), we are being unhelpfully squashing and missing the point. Responsibility now is key.
