I sometimes wonder just how it is that bathing places get these repeated names. Down the road from here we have Bath Spa railway station - "bath bath" (incidentally pleasantly close to the River Avon, aka the "river river"). And France has Bains-les-Bains - "Bath Spa" - or at least used to until they unsportingly merged it into a neighbouring commune for convenience.
Happy Nowruz, happy Iranian new year, happy turn of nature to a beautiful Spring in the northern hemisphere. I hope a brighter, freer, and happier year for my fellow Iranian women and men who fight with their lives for woman life freedom #Nowruz #WomanLifeFreedom

Thinking about scholarly knowledge graphs today. Has anyone looked at what the connectivity/strength of a graph of scholarly citations would be? I'm aware of a number of projects trying to cluster research outputs using citations, and would have thought understanding the likely properties of the citation graph would could help estimate likely success.
And it's another #OpenAccess #books Friday :-) Currently uploading 70 new #OAbooks to the OAPEN Library.
From Books to Knowledge Graphs

The digital transformation of the scientific publishing industry has led to dramatic improvements in content discoverability and information analytics. Unfortunately, these improvements have not been uniform across research areas. The scientific literature in the arts, humanities and social sciences (AHSS) still lags behind, in part due to the scale of analog backlogs, the persisting importance of national languages, and a publisher ecosystem made of many, small or medium enterprises...
I'll be speaking at the next 'How-to-Advocacy' event run by the
OPERAS Advocacy SIG, talking about how to advocate for innovative open access book publishing.
It's on Wednesday 29 March at 10:30-11:30 BST, and it's free to sign up here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdEzMJe3wBIVV3_0vpPDHS6jcXARkfF-h38HRIPAAQxnjbvkQ/viewform
EVENT: Interested in funding for #OpenAccess books?
A new project, PALOMERA, is exploring why so few European #OA funder policies include books, and how we can change this.
You can engage with PALOMERA via the Open Access Books Network (OABN), which I help to coordinate. Come to this free online event on 28 March at 3pm BST to find out how: https://openaccessbooksnetwork.hcommons.org/2023/03/02/the-oabn-is-working-with-palomera/
