following @OpenAlex_org since 1 year now, check this out for free and open-source science and Google Scholar/ Scopus alternative , it completely dwarfs GScholar #OpenAccess #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter

Si #MT180 se présente communément comme un concours de vulgarisation scientifique, il s’agit aussi – et surtout – d’une formation à la prise de parole en public : les finalistes vous partagent leur avis sur la question.

@jeroenbosman Thank you for this clear answer. Do you know the best feedback channel if one has some useful feedback ?

@fresseng AFAIK feedback is very much appreciated, but at a higher level than correcting individual errors. I think they would very like to know if you suspect that for some reason whole chucks of data/relations are missing or erroneous. Then they can try to spot systematic errors and correct them.

The idea for this symposium started as a post here on mastodon, where I tagged a bunch of good folks I wanted to hear rail against academic publishers. Because they're awesome, they all agreed to.

The event will include two sets of short talks followed by lots of time to chat and scheme.

@ploum Merci de l'information, c'est incroyablement pertinent ! Savez-vous si la disponibilité de cette fonctionnalité dépend de l'instance sur laquelle vous êtes ?

Pouvoir éditer un pouet, même s’il a été déjà repartagé des centaines de fois, permet de dire: « Pardon, je me suis trompé » et d’en informé tout ceux qui ont repartagé sans le savoir une information fausse.

C’est incroyable comme cette petite fonctionnalité peut contribuer à un réseau social "sain", à normaliser le fait de se tromper, à rendre l’ambiance dans ce petit coin du net un peu plus humaine que dans beaucoup d’autres plus fréquentés.

Merci à vous les mastonautes !

Github is spamming me on every single of my git mail adresses to force me to enable 2FA on my account.

Decided to login today to stop the spam. Doesn’t work, I’m always redirected to a 404 error.

It looks like, for security reason, you can only login from a trusted machine now.

Turns out that I don’t have any trusted machine because I didn’t logged in for more than one month.

So, yes, I’m locked out of Github. And I don’t want to deal with it.

French national funder touts open-access success. Projects funded by France’s National Research Agency (ANR) are 20 percentage points ahead of the average for research in French public laboratories on open-access publishing, statistics show. Does anyone have access to the full text of the news ? researchprofessionalnews.com/r

@jeroenbosman Thank you, Jeroen, this is indeed great news. It clearly shows the power of OpenAlex.

It allowed me to see that I have more than ten OpenAlex identifiers myself. Do you known if there is already some way to help and correct the data one knows of ?

I guess it is too early.

Great to see that OpenAlex by OurrResarch is now also human readable in courageous alpha-version (so with bugs but allowing early input) here: alpha.openalex.org/works. This open source scholarly knowledge graph uses a.o. PIDs to connect works/authors/institutions/sources/concepts and more.

Do you use Amazon, Facebook, or Google?

These Very Large Online Platforms (VLOPs) and Very Large Only Search Engines (VLOSEs) impact our lives greatly.

That is why we have designed 17 VLOPs and 2 VLOSEs to meet the full range of new obligations under our Digital Services Act (DSA) within four months.

This will empower users, protect minors, reduce disinformation and increase transparency.

Check out our list to see which platforms are affected.
