🗓️2026 starts with a relevant development around research information

@acm.org fully transitions to open access publishing, but puts metadata and search in ACM Digital Library behind paywall.

Open funder metadata is essential for true research transparency

Funding transparency is key for trust in research. Recent guidance from COPE and the International Science Council confirms it’s firmly on the agenda.

To be truly effective funder metadata should be made openly accessible to all beyond the level of individual publications.

Funder metadata is vital to understanding where research comes from & how it is used. But, to be truly effective it needs to be open to all.

Is there a relationship between the metadata publishers submit to Crossref and the submission systems they use? 🤔

We (w/ @msphelps.bsky.social) analyzed 153 publishers and 4 major systems to find out.

NLM terminates the Literature Selection Technical Review Committee (LSTRC).

LSTRC was a rather mystical committee that chose which journals did/didn't get into Medline (main route to PubMed). Publishers lived in fear of it as inclusion can make or break a journal www.nlm.nih.gov/medline/medl... 1/3
