  • Equipping Change Agents

    Open AccessTanya L’Heureux, Jasneet Parmar et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2025

    Family caregivers provide most daily care for people living with chronic illness or frailty, yet they remain under-recognized in health and social care systems. To address this gap, we co-designed the Caregiver-Centered Care Champions Education Program, which equips frontline providers with the competencies needed to lead caregiver-inclusive change. Guided by the Kirkpatrick-Barr Health Workforce Education Framework, we conducted a mixed methods …

The research projects carried out between 2016 and 2022 (funded by Publishing Research Consortium, CIBER Research Ltd. and S…

  • Never mind predatory publishers… what about ‘grey’ publishers

    Open AccessDiana Nicholas, Eti Herman et al.ARTICLEEl Profesional de la Informacion2023

    The Harbingers project, which studied the working lives and scholarly communication behaviour of early career researchers (ECRs) over 6 years, found evidence of changing attitudes to questionable (grey) publishing. Thus, whilst predatory publishers have come to be treated with equanimity, as a problem easily dealt with, there was growing concern with the high volume of low-grade research being generated, some of which by ‘grey’ open access publis…

  • The Later Medieval City

    Diana Nicholas, David NicholasBOOKLater Medieval City2014

    The Later Medieval City, 1300-1500, the second part of David Nicholas's ambitious two-volume study of cities and city life in the Middle Ages, fully lives up to its splendid precursor, The Growth of the Medieval City. (Like that volume it is fully self-sufficient, though many readers will want to use the two as a continuum.) This book covers a much shorter period than the first. That traced the rise of the medieval European city system from late …
