This isn't really a judgment on Openrxiv, which just reflects the reality of sustaining non-profit infrastructure right now, but it probably shows the need for institutions to get involved in funding the preprint landscape before it's all commercialised rather than community governed.

Great post this week from @lisalibrarian.bsky.social that hopes to clear up some of the confusions around Creative Commons licenses and the use of such content for AI training. This speaks to the ongoing failure of the publishing and OA communities to make clear just what these licenses mean

Very first panel of #chsconf25, and a speaker repeats the claim that my piece in SK yesterday was written to explain isn't true. Please read!

Unfortunately, it also tracks that ppl haven't noticed widely that those same publishers own a lot of the preprint servers?

Lisa Janicke Hinchliffe @lisalibrarian.bsky.social · 7d

New from me today. TL;DR.. No! But, read the piece to learn why!

Just realized that last night marked daylight savings so I feel better about how late I was awake lol.

In any case, this move slightly weakens the pro-preprint case for journals not adding value and (in the case of review & position papers) strengthens the case for Article Development Charges.

Lisa Janicke Hinchliffe @lisalibrarian.bsky.social · 8d

There is real irony that one is not allowed to preprint until after acceptance ... kinda undercuts the claimed value set of preprint benefits. Yes, early/public access. But the whole thing about improving work before its submitted/accepted is out the window.

I'm sympathetic but ...

Hmmm.... if you are a student, for example, isn't it "responsible" to use it in keeping with your instructor's requirements? So, in your class (I'd guess) no use, but in mine, you can if you follow the requirements of disclosure and justification?

Chris Hayes @chrislhayes.bsky.social · 12d

I’ve been thinking a lot about a new kind of polling I’d like to see. We have polling that measures public opinion, which is obviously important, but I’d love to see a little more empirical work on public knowledge: what do voters know about politics and policy?

NICE!

Florida's Board of Governors wants institutions to have course syllabi available 45 days before courses start. That raises serious issues about faculty calendars and adjuncts, and Georgia has moved to requiring syllabi at the time of student registration (!!!).

As an administrator, this is messy.

Florida wants to post more college syllabi online. Professors fear what's next.

University leaders in the Sunshine State want schools to post what textbooks, instructional materials and readings are required for most courses.

Did Bianca, by chance, say something more specific because the word metadata is definitely used in the Barcelona declaration?

If progress depends on scholars being actively interested in the infrastructures of publishing, we need some really big thinking on what might motivate that interest, bc it doesn't seem that scholars find these infrastructures inherently interesting.

Ernesto Priego @ernestopriego.com · 17d

Even though it was not the focus of the webinar what stuck with me is the need for scholars to get more actively interested in the infrastructures of academic/scientific publishing including, in specific, #openaccess and why it matters beyond mandates and research assessment requirements.

Tim Elfenbein @timelfen.bsky.social · 17d

At the end of another Open Access Week, where the virtues of open infrastructure & standards have been rightly praised, I'm grappling with whether OpenAlex is incapable of creating an accurate author profile for me because it relies on RORs while I'm a scholar without institutional affiliation.

On Threads, the usual suspects are telling ppl about to lose SNAP benefits to just start a garden. As a gardener, I had to laugh. You need at LEAST an acre of land to feed a family of 4. Start-up costs are enormous. But yes, subsistence farming on the balcony of your rental apartment is the answer
