Thanks to the #DOAJ and #OASPA for their new #OpenAccess #Journals Toolkit.
oajournals-toolkit.org/

It should help launch new #OA journals and fine-tune old ones. It covers topics "such as journal creation, costs, staffing, policy development, through to indexing and key technical aspects."

#ORCID is shifting from #RINGGOLD to #ROR as IDs for a scholar's institutional affiliation.
info.orcid.org/orcid-support-f

PS: I support this move. It will help establish ROR as the #standard for institutional affiliation. RINGGOLD IDs are #proprietary and ROR IDs are in the #PublicDomain under #CC0.

Happy birthday to 2 crucial infrastructures! @zenodo_org is 10 years old while @DOAJ is 20 years old !

Update. New study: "Among articles stating that #data was available upon request, only 17% shared data upon request. The presence of Data Availability Statements was not associated with higher rates of data sharing (p = .80). Results replicate those found elsewhere."

This is big. No #embargoes. No #APCs.

"The #EU is ready to agree that immediate #OpenAccess to papers reporting publicly funded research should become the norm, w/o authors having to pay fees & that the bloc should support #nonprofit scholarly publishing models.

In a move that could send shockwaves through commercial scholarly #publishing, the positions are due to be adopted by the Council of the EU member state governments later this month."

1/ #Wiley just fired Robert Goodin, the founding editor of the #JournalOfPoliticalPhilosophy. Many other JPPP editors have resigned in protest.

One editor, Anna Stilz, wrote this to other editors....

#Philosophy

🧵

The most interesting critique of #PeerReview I've read in a long time is by @a_m_mastroianni.

The gist: We treat science as a weak-link problem (in which we fear opening the gates to the worst stuff) when when it's properly a strong-link problem (in which we should fear closing the gates on the best stuff).

h/t @DailyNous, who applied Mastroianni's thesis to #philosophy.

This year marks the 10th anniversary of Zenodo! Having a trusted place to easily preserve research materials is helping advance #openscience. Learn about the origin story and impact of this global open repository led by @CERN @larshankat @libcce here: sparcopen.org/impact-story/zen

To encourage submissions to its journals, "the Company of Biologists will be planting a tree for each Research Article and Review article published in its five journals."

Some of these articles will be #OpenAccess, but not all. For a creative #incentive that goes all the way to open, recall the TU Delft (@tudelft) promise from 2010. For every 1,000 articles deposited in its OA #repository, it donated a goat to a family in #Bangladesh.

Article processing charges (#APCs) rose faster than inflation again last year, both for #hybrid and full-OA journals. And the average hybrid journal continues to charge more than the average APC-based full-OA journal.

The Geneva Workshop on Innovations in Scholarly Communication, better known as OAI, is now on Mastodon.
Before, during and after OAI13 (4-8 September 2023), both Mastodon (@OAI_GE) and Twitter (@OAI_GE too) accounts will be used to provide organizational and content information about the event, using the #OAI13 hashtag.
Make sure to follow us, and share content, too, on your favorite microblogging platform!

Nature will now publish Registered Reports
nature.com/articles/d41586-023 are we introducing this format? In part to try to address publication bias, the tendency of the research system — editors, reviewers and authors — to favour the publication of positive over negative results. Registered Reports help to incentivize research regardless of the result. An elegant and robust study should be appreciated as much for its methodology as for its results. "
