The issue is also to allow the emergence of questions fed by local concerns. Where problems originate should not affect their value. But publication hierarchies tend to downplay problems originating outside recognized elites. We need a basic "initiative" right.

Indeed. Local problems do not lead to local solutions; they contribute to universal knowledge. Creating a "ghetto" of local questions would be counter-productive.

DOAJ warning (to be shared): A website and a Twitter account use the name 'DOAJ Publications' or 'Doaj publisher'. DOAJ asked them to stop using the DOAJ name: it is probably being used to mislead people. Info about this outfit would be useful.

The FAO claims to help the "Global South" with a conference next week: fao.org/3/cc2199en/cc2… The line-up is most interesting: WIPO, STM, Elsevier "Foundation", Research4Life. How about SciELO, Redalyc, SPARC, POSI for balance?

You might consider signing: ostp-letter.github.io I just did! It has to do with the OSTP memo recenly published. Let us remember that publishing functions can serve researchers; publishers generally serve themselves. Paying attention to this is the next big step.

@sarahderijcke Let me share my condolences with Sarah de Rijcke. I do not know her personally, but I know her extraordinarily impressive work, and that level of quality must come from somewhere. I am ready to bet that parts of it comes from her father.

It only tends to prove that Frontiers is not exactly at the frontiers of news (including that of Jon's sad ending), and owns the sensitivity of a piece of granite. But no surprise here, especially regarding the latter. Just check the history of Frontiers as a publisher.

Upset by the email send by @frontiersin entitled "Join Dr. Jonathan P. Tennant at Frontiers in Environmental Science as Associate Editor" Very inappropriate!!! RIP @Protohedgehog cc @Rebeccatennan10

Unless my admittedly weak German is worse than I think, the precarious nature of some teachers is also mentioned in the rector's statement. Evaluating teaching is a real issue, but standard tests of students treat schools like an assembly line with one single output.

Are transformative agreements (TA) so different from hybrid journals? The latter involve individuals and journals; the former involve platforms and institutions. Both muddy the waters, and they are designed to confuse issues around open science.
