Our #OpenAccess #book fund is showing real results! One of our supported researchers, Stephan Schleim, shared that their book "#Brain Development and the #Law: #Neurolaw in Theory and Practice" has been downloaded over 4,000 times!
https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-031-72362-9
Stephan's publication was part of the first funding cycle that contributed to the publication of 47 open access books.

Everything is worrying at the moment but something I am wondering if we should worry about is all the US-based scientific publishers. Elsevier, Nature, but also #PLoS, maybe even #BiorXiv and others - is it possible that the US government forces them to either stop publishing, delete some or all of their published papers, or only accept papers that correspond to specific criteria?
Please tell me there is nothing to worry about on that front at least..

I bang on about this, but saying "no" immediately is almost as good as saying "yes." Speaking as an editor, I love it when potential reviewers refuse shortly after being invited (it's even better when they suggest others we might ask in their place). Waiting weeks to say "no" is the worst and, along with late reports, is a major reason that peer review takes so long.
So much to be learned from The Big Lebowski. Nihlists ("we care about nothing") burn your car then ask you for money. Publishers burn down science then ask scientists for money. Makes perfect sense ("lets see do I have $6k in my wallet for gold standard open access ... hmmm")

I’m pleased to say that as of Monday I'll be working part-time as Head of Editorial at @DOAJ, the open access journal indexer lead by Joanna Ball. After working at three OA publishers and specialising in publication ethics, this role neatly blends my professional interests.
I'll still be available for other freelance work, providing it doesn't conflict with this role.

‘As of my last knowledge update’: How is content generated by ChatGPT infiltrating scientific papers published in premier journals?
Fun paper to read, not the most rigorous methodology (an entirely Google Scholar based analysis)...
This is weird, two papers with the same name. The new one appears to be a plagiarized version of the old one, but the text is different. (Perhaps edited with a LLM?)
What do you think is the point here - is the idea to siphon off citations intended for the other paper? Are the authors real, or is the whole thing just made up as fake data for a predatory journal?
Why change the text, but not the title?

Hey #academics
How do you share your articles and dessimnate your #research here at #mastodon ?
#OpenAccess #academicpublishing @academicchatter @academia #scicom
working on a manuscript and one of the co-authors suggested submitting it to One Earth as our work aligns with their aims and scope but omg APC of USD 9170 feels EXORBITANT and PROHIBITIVE! Dunno about my collaborators in Denmark and Sweden but APCs like that just remind me that I live in a poor country
I'm more than happy to just publish it on #Zenodo (which is free and #OpenAccess) or another open access repository where we can have some peer-review but the first author is a student who really wants to publish in a journal which is understandable given how #academia works currently smh
if anyone has suggestions for #sustainability and #OneHealth related open access journals that don't have eye-gouging APCs, please share!
I don't understand the point of publishing a paper about a great innovative tool that you developed if you're not going to make that tool available to anyone. And I don't understand the point of citing this paper as a example of a great innovative tool, either. If it's not available, it might as well be fiction. #AcademicRant #AcademicPublishing #OpenScience
Very happy to see this FINALLY published, because my colleague Dr Chelsea Miya and I worked very hard to put this together over quite a while!

Ask a group of scientists what research journal(s) publish the most non-sense and Nature or a Nature Portfolio journal will come up more often than not. Ask the same group where they want to publish their next paper and it will be Nature or a Nature portfolio journal.
