Announcing New Leadership for Ithaka S+R sr.ithaka.org/blog/announcin… via @IthakaSR

I am incredibly excited about our launch of JSTOR Publisher Collections, which will dramatically increase access to scholarly monographs through an innovative new model based on tiered annual participation fees for both front-list and back-list books. about.jstor.org/blog/a-new-mod…

@RoySocChem @hjoseph @maw_tweets The discussion now gets animated: "Let's get rid of the Impact Factor!" But there is value in IF, as a tool to ensure quality or misuse of science. Science is not in a vacuum - our publications are implemented and translated. #FutureSciPub

"Schonfeld mapped out the fragmented and frustrating researcher experience – bouncing between discovery tools, re-authenticating, and often hitting paywalls despite entitled access." 2/ researchinformation.info/analysis-opini…

"The original motivation for GetFTR came in response to a stark presentation by Roger Schonfeld at the Frankfurt STM meeting in 2015...." 1/ researchinformation.info/analysis-opini…

AI doesn’t care about articles. It cares about tasks and chunks. But in those chunks, it often loses the plot—like forgetting a paper was retracted. This is a must read from @aarontay open.substack.com/pub/aarontay/p…

In a desperate attempt to stave off the loss of billions of dollars every year, a coalition of higher education groups has agreed with the U.S. government that it’s time to revamp how universities are reimbursed for the cost of supporting research on their campuses. scim.ag/3HY0Zzg

I am very excited to announce that I have been named the Senior Vice Provost & Director of the UT Libraries. Looking forward to working with the team at #UTLibraries

We interviewed #UChicago researchers and shared their responses with @IthakaSR for this study: Researcher Challenges and Experiences with Data Services, doi.org/10.18665/sr.32… #researchdata #RDMS

Great to see the results of this study made public. SBU Libraries and colleagues form the University were part of 19 institutions helping chart the impact of AI on higher ed. Plenty more to do! #ArtificialIntelligence #AI #HigherEducation @IthakaSR ow.ly/ggHr50VLEU6

Jan Lewis, our Academic Library Services director, was a leader and instrumental to the #ECU role in contributing to this unprecedented “Making AI Generative for Higher Education” cohort project. The research report is out ⤵️ sr.ithaka.org/blog/generativ…

Today’s platforms shine for human eyes. Tomorrow’s will shine for LLMs. Scrapeable, readable, reason-ready. The AI Gateway is opening — are we ready to step through? #ScholarlyPublishing #AIGateway

What does the future of AI look like through the eyes of a bright Hunter High School student? Zadie Schonfeld, a 10th grader, wrote a piece on the complex future of AI, and it was featured in the @nypost: nypost.com/2025/04/22/lif…
