My thoughts on how to improve the hiring process in academia.
Note: For several reasons, I don't think that page charges are a good idea, and I've never paid any. I think that one should even go so far as to avoid publishing in journals with page charges even if they are waived, though there are some exceptions. For this article, I was told that it would be open-access as one of the Editor's Choice articles, but unfortunately, though it is briefly mentioned in that editorial, there is no link (freely accessible or not) to the article. I don't know what happened. However, it is freely available via the corresponding link on various web pages as described in the next paragraph.
This is a pre-copyedited, author-produced version of an article accepted for publication in Astronomy & Geophysics following peer review. The version of record is available at the URLs mentioned on the abstract page, in my publication list, and at the basic-information page for this work.
The links below point to one file containing the complete text, all figures and tables etc.
