This was important enough to merit a sort of Brexit diagram. Simple though. #Threads

Very inspiring: Sorbonne University unsubscribes from Web of Science and Clarivate's bibliometric tools, and will support open alternatives instead, in particular @OpenAlex.

‘By resolutely abandoning the use of proprietary bibliometric products, it is opening the way for open, free and participative tools.’

Hope to see more institutes follow this transition from closed to open systems for research information!

#Crossref (@crossref) has "developed a new, heuristic-based strategy for matching #journal #articles to their #preprints. It achieved the following results on the evaluation dataset: precision 0.99, recall 0.95, F0.5 0.98."

It's sharing the code on Github.

Discovering relationships between preprints and journal articles https://www.crossref.org/blog/discovering-relationships-between-preprints-and-journal-articles/

This is exactly what we need! Journals and preprint servers should link to each other, but unfortunately they fail to do so in a systematic and reliable way.

Great to see that Dominika Tkaczyk at @crossref seems to have a high-quality algorithmic solution!

And over heeee[...]eeeere (i)s Saturn.

I've created this animated chart to visualize the vast spectrum of resource types that you can choose to assign DataCite DOIs to research outputs.
The video shows how strategic partnerships, e.g. with IGSN have a real impact.
I encourage you to watch and reuse this one-minute clip 🍿 👇 🎬

Today is the #OABooksToolkit 3rd anniversary! Your go-to for all things #OAbooks publishing, whatever stage of the research life cycle, there's a resource to support you. (Potential) authors of OA books - check it out now: https://oabooks-toolkit.org/

fwiw De Gruyter plans to flip 270 of its paywalled journals to open access without requiring author-side charges, by 2028. Amazing!

Tomorrow: together with Nancy Lin (NY University Libraries) and James English (Lyrasis) I'll be virtually at 2023 Charleston Conference on Adding a wing to the Palace - adding 10,000 open access books from the OAPEN Library. #chsconf23 - #OpenAccess #ScholComm

People who don't understand the difference between etymology and entomology bug me in ways I can't put into words.

Today is St Catherine’s Day, the patron saint of lacemakers. Today marked the first day that they were allowed to use candles to assist them in their work. The feast day was also a holiday for these workers & was celebrated with games, a hot pot (eggnog made from rum, eggs & beer) & Cattern Cakes, spiced with cinnamon, lightly fruited & flavoured with caraway seeds. The dough was originally yeasted. They’re supposedly round to honour the wheel on which the saint was martyred
