Scary to see this, whether it is unneeded over-reaction or appropriate obeisance to the new US administration. statnews.com/2025/02/03/tru…

Following the news that eLife will not receive an Impact Factor in 2025, we’ve shared an update on how our model is doing since we were first placed “on hold” by Web of Science, and what we’re up to now. Find out more. elifesciences.org/inside-elife/c…

@DanielElleder @mbeisen Thanks. Do you think this is a problem specific to the Czech Republic (or even the Czech Academy of Sciences) or is more generic?

@robertkiley @mbeisen The subject area board for doctoral study. And I would not be surprised if the same were true for grant results. So they require publications to be listed in WoS. It can be small publication in MDPI, but now not eLife.

The publishing system sucks and will continue to suck so long as tenured, full professors at state universities spend their time whinging about other peoples' privilege instead of focusing on their own responsibility as public employees to make science function well.

@DanielElleder @mbeisen Which organisation is not “counting” a publication if it is not indexed in WoS?

@mbeisen We wanted to submit to eLife, but becaue it is not in WOS it would not be counted as publication for PhD students. It is a pity, great journal that I read regularly…

At 02 looking forward to seeing @nickcave

Economic barriers shouldn't limit scholarly voices! The Equitable Pricing Framework, developed by @InformationPowr for @cOAlitionS_OA, aims to help maximise participation in #ScholComm. Read more by @wisealic & join our Jan 16 webinar✍️ coalition-s.org/blog/maximizin… #OAWeek #OpenAccess

As we celebrate the #OAWeek, let's hear from @PLOS on the "How Equitable Is It?" framework and how it will support their efforts to increase equitable participation in Open Science. More by Roheena Anand here: ✍️coalition-s.org/blog/advancing… #OpenAccess #Equity #HowEquitableIsIt

This is a great explainer for the Publish-Review-Curate model. There can be different 'flavours' of PRC, which is already happening, but there are some fundamental principles to each of the P-R-C stages which are important to understand: osf.io/preprints/meta…

“The Equity Tool helps users consider a range of criteria to move away from inequitable article-based models and facilitate more equitable participation in knowledge sharing”, commented @robertkiley, @cOAlitionS_OA during the #OASPA2024 Panel on “Building #Equity in #OpenAccess”

The "How Equitable Is It?" tool results from robust discussions within the "Beyond article-based charges" Working Group. The group's strength lies in diverse stakeholder views: funders, librarians & publishers, as Roheena Anand @PLOS notes. Huge 👏to all! coalition-s.org/beyond-article…

@cOAlitionS_OA @Jisc @PLOS Tool available at coalitions.typeform.com/Equity-Tool

@cOAlitionS_OA @Jisc @PLOS Many thanks to my colleagues in the "Beyond Article-based Charges Working Group (coalition-s.org/beyond-article…) for their help and support in developing this framework. Hear more about the How Equitable Is It? online tool at the #oaspa2024 conference later this morning

Introducing "How Equitable Is It?": a tool to assess #equity in #ScholComm models on key criteria, incl. #OpenAccess, pricing transparency, #OpenResearch. Developed by the beyond article-based charges working group, chaired by @cOAlitionS_OA @Jisc @PLOS ➡coalition-s.org/new-tool-to-as…

🙋‍ What if we’d turn the peer reviewed publishing venue Open Research Europe into a collective, non-profit #OpenAccess service for the public good? Explore our latest publication to find out more: europa.eu/!9WYp8q

@lisalibrarian Seems like a clear misuse of the Subscribe to Open label if non-subscribers have to pay an APC. As you say, this looks like a Read and Publish agreement. If it looks like a duck….

"IWA Publishing is therefore adapting its implementation of S2O. All journals will continue to be published on an open access basis, but authors at institutions that do not participate in IWA Publishing’s S2O model will no longer be able to publish free of charge."

So, this S20 is essentially now a read and publish agreement for an institution signing on to their "S20" ... with everyone else paying an APC or getting a waiver. iwapublishing.com/news/update-iw…

@RLUK_David Hope you managed to get a postal vote for the UK GE!

Next few days planned out… #Liber2024

@cOAlitionS_OA @rschconsulting @cwtsleiden And there is an interactive dashboard where you can see the results of the researcher survey and filter these data in different ways, including by region, research experience and discipline. See: coalitions-trp-survey.cwts.nl/survey/recent-…

A big thanks to >11,600 respondents for generously sharing their insights and to @rschconsulting & @cwtsleiden for their outstanding work. See the complete report, and all data sets, at: ➡️doi.org/10.5281/zenodo… and ➡️doi.org/10.26303/m1s7-… #ResponsiblePublishing

Correction. It’s the Blockheads having a great time.

At GuilFest in the sun. Looking forward to seeing Nouvelle Vague and the Strangers later. Not sure who is currently on stage. Maybe Eddie and the Hot Rods?
