Devika Madalli JSTOR ACLS IOP Publishing .dr. judith fathallah on academic precarity and publishing #OpenAccess. Access and impact trump “prestige” which no longer is a guarantee for an academic job.

cOAlition S, Jisc and PLOS release a beta tool to assess scholarly communication models and arrangements on the axis of equity and use this to steer either investment or scholarly communication model-development decisions. coalitions.typeform.com/Equity-Tool #OASPA2024

“The Equity Tool helps users consider a range of criteria to move away from inequitable article-based models and facilitate more equitable participation in knowledge sharing”, commented Robert Kiley, cOAlition S during the #OASPA2024 Panel on “Building #Equity in #OpenAccess”

Brilliant provocation from Vincent van Gerven Oei, pumpkin 👻🎃💀boo & thoth.pub on why metrics are inherently in conflict with open access: that we mustn't conflate measures with a system of distribution #OASPA2024

For more than a decade, Open Library of Humanities (OLH) has been publishing #openaccess journals. Today, 340+ libraries support its 33 publications. We're thrilled to add its story to our #OAWeek profile series: openaccessweek.org/theme-profiles…

Very proud to be able to share that the Dutch Research Council NWO Funding has joined Crossref (inactive Jan 2025) Grant Linking System and will from now on assign DOI's to awarded projects making outcomes of our funded research more visable and findable. nwo.nl/en/news/nwo-fu…

📢 MetaROR was launched last week, but what exactly is it all about? If you were wondering the same, the online launch event tomorrow is for you! 📅 26 November 🕓 16:00-17:30 CET Register here 👉 eventbrite.co.uk/e/introducing-… Research on Research Institute (RoRI)

We explored the powerful collaboration between leading open-source initiatives like OMP, DOAB, OAPN, TOTE, and the Open Book Collective. These independent entities are working together to build a transparent, coordinated infrastructure supporting the dissemination of OA books.

Looking at feedback on Undermind , mostly positive though there's the typical "interpretation of search results” might be inaccurate. To me even humans make such errors, my question is do LLMs (with or without RAG) make similar errors as humans (1)

In my view this is an important article that everybody who publishes in the scientific literature should read. It's written by a stellar line up of "data sleuths" | Anna Abalkina @abalkina.bsky.social | Elisabeth Bik | Dorothy Bishop | Prof Jennifer Byrne 🧬 | Guillaume Cabanac ⟨here and elsewhere⟩ | Adam Day | Nick Wise |

In the latest PLOS Open Science Indicators dataset (in collaboration with DataSeer) users can more easily segment results by research topics and geography, thanks to integration of OpenAlex metadata. Great to see this much-requested improvement live theplosblog.plos.org/2025/01/integr…

Estimate the total costs of your academic publications using this tool built on OpenAlex data! #opendata

🌟 Key takeaway 1: It's now easy to access #ORCiD data with Google BigQuery; we can enhance Dimensions data. 🙌 Find out more in this Research Musings post from Hélène Draux & Simon Porter, "Blooming research profiles" - available now on Substack. 🔗 ow.ly/3WEj50ViZcl
