Le conseil #LogicielsLibres, animé par la mission logiciels libres de la DINUM, émet son 1er avis en répondant positivement à la question: "Pensez-vous que de rendre possible l’installation d’un système d’exploitation libre augmente la durabilité des ordinateurs (portables ou non) et des smartphones ?"

Cet avis s’est nourri d’une synthèse rédigée par des membres du conseil à lire ici👉 https://man.sr.ht/~etalab/logiciels-libres/docs/2023_01_RapportIndiceDurabilite.pdf

The British Journal of Dermatology just moved from #Wiley to #OUP. As part of the move, it's adding plain language summaries (#PLS) and allowing authors to retain #copyright in their articles.
https://academic.oup.com/bjd/article/188/1/1/6795460

The journal remains #hybrid, not full #openaccess. But note that the key #RightsRetention step was voluntarily adopted by a #society (British Association of Dermatologists) and a #UniversityPress. Kudos to them both.

#Plan_S reiterates that so-called transformative agreements (aka offset agreements, read-and-publish agreements) should be transitional. It will drop its financial support for them at the end of 2024. Supporting them further "would significantly increase the risk that these arrangements will become permanent and perpetuate #hybrid #OpenAccess, which #cOAlition_S has always firmly opposed."

"Ouch..."

So, my first toot will be about a much debated topic within academic libraries: transformative agreements
The University of Lorraine has issued a statement to explain its strategy and indicate the type of agreements she is willing to support: https://bit.ly/3wnihgi
Feedbacks welcomed

I hope the two guys that keep Google Scholar going as a pet project didn't get laid off. Just as a quiet reminder of the fragile contingency of this core academic service.

Bonne lecture !

Non-profit journals as a solution to open science?

Publishers charge researchers incredible amounts to remove paywalls from their own papers...and make unbelievable profits from doing so. Several have an >30% profit margin.

Initiatives such as @PeerCommunityIn provide an alternative: open access, non-profit journals that are free to publish in.
