Discover and read the best of Twitter Threads about #decras

I promised a thread to explain the huge ARC eligibility issue that's affected #FutureFellowships & #DECRA so far, and will enormously impact #DiscoveryProjects as well.

Honestly, it's possibly @arc_gov_au's lowest point yet.

What's happened? Brace yourself.
The @arc_gov_au has ruled *dozens* of fellowship grants ineligible because the applications cited "preprints".

Not just in the applicants' publication list, but *anywhere* in the app.

Not just those co-authored by the applicant, but *any* "preprint".
There was a trickle of reports when #FutureFellowships came out last week.

It became a flood after #DECRAs this week.

Now more than 20 researchers have publicly stated or DMed that they've been ruled ineligible 'coz they've cited a "preprint". There'll be many more, of course.
