There are dozens if not hundreds of sites with free audiobooks, and I have pulled together a short list of 12 sites where you can find a broad selection. Project Gutenberg Project Gutenberg is best known for being the first website to offer free public domain ebooks, but they also have audibooks for you to download. The selection is drawn from a variety of sites, including Librivox, AudiobooksForFree, and LiteralSystems.org. Podiobooks.com This is not your father’s audiobook site.

The University of California Press e-books collection holds books published by UCP (and a select few printed by other academic presses) between 1982-2004.
The general public currently has access to 770 books through this initiative. The collection is dynamic, with new titles being added over time. Readers looking to see what the collection holds can browse by subject. The curators of the site have kindly provided a second browsing page that shows only the publicly accessible books, omitting any frustrating off-limits titles. The collection’s strengths are in history (particularly American history and the history of California and the West); religion; literary studies; and international studies (with strong selections of Middle Eastern Studies, Asian Studies, and French Studies titles). Sadly, you can’t download the books to an e-reader or tablet.

Are there alternatives to peer review? There are lots of discussions about peer review happening at the moment, it seems April is a busy month.
My colleagues took part in peer review debates in London and Doha discussing innovations, and on Friday I was at a Sense about Science workshop called ‘Peer Review: The Nuts & Bolts’. Photo from @LaurenTedaldi at @voiceofyoungsci with permission The event was for early career researchers, exploring how peer review works, how to get involved, the challenges to the system, and the role of peer review in helping the public to evaluate research claims. We heard the perspective of the editorial office from Alice Ellingham, Director of Editorial Office Ltd, of the peer reviewer from John Gilbert, Editor of the International Journal of Science Education, and of the Editor – me.
