Scholarly Communication - all of it, Open Research, research assessment, research culture, research integrity. They are parts of the same whole.

REFRESHING HONESTY about the run around journals put authors through. That the community has put up with this for so long says mountains about our flawed and problematic assessment system. scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2025/11/04/m...

SAYS IT ALL: Publishers worry about profit, libraries worry about information. Forget the motherhood statements & 'value adds' that commercial publishers claim to make. It's all about the cash.

DIVERSITY of assessment and reforming evaluation being discussed at @unesco.org "Open Science: From the UNESCO Recommendation to Reality in Asia and the Pacific - Session 1” An excellent slide

LENS: I find it interesting that this article scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2025/10/15/d... is all about how Diamond OA is unsustainable (not surprisingly given the editorial focus of the outlet), but glosses over how completely terrible Scopus is at indexing journals. Surely Scopus is at fault here?

FUTURE of repositories is shared infrastructure where individual institutions have their own branding but it is centrally managed @coar-repositories.bsky.social

SIGH: It isn't enough that this merger is the result of a plan to increase the university ranking level - yes university rankings that are based on methodology so poor that they would never pass an ethics application - but the SA govt is also throwing money at Elsevier for analyses about the merger

VARIETY NEEDED: John Wilkin (Lyrasis) is joining online at 4am his time due to illness. He says as CEO of a library organisation he is trying to scale to meet collective needs. To pursue one approach to sustainability, infrastructure or validation to the exclusion of others won’t work. #OASPA2025
