A new view of the state of the scholarly publishing oligopoly: doi.org/10.1371/jour... Considering journals and papers published, big publishers have been losing ground, as many independent journals have been created, especially since 2000. With @juancommander.scholcommlab.ca @lariviev.bsky.social

On Thursday at 14:00 CET we will have another seminar! Franek will talk about „Developing Oligopolies Through Hegemonic Cycles” - so how can we apply methods developed by Wallerstein and Arrighi to analyse the rise of the oligopoly of academic publishers described by @lariviev.bsky.social ?

Springer Nature has spawned a copycat journal series called "Discover" mimicking #MDPI journal titles and citation behaviours. We even made a browser game to prove it (see 🔗).

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd.
It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.
Graphs showing 25 years of budgets for the National Institute of Health, NASA, and the NSF. In all cases, the proposed budget for next year is far, far below any year of the previous quarter century.

Would you use AI to write a research paper?
Would you use AI in peer review?
Would you disclose it if you had?

We asked 5000 researchers these questions. What do you think of their answers?

You can read the full survey results here: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
A graphic titled "experiences with using AI to write papers". Bar charts showed the following results: 18% have used AI to edit their paper without disclosing AI use 10% have used AI to edit their paper and disclosed AI use 43% have not used AI to edit their paper but would be willing to 29% have not used AI to edit their paper and would not consider it 4% have used AI to translate a paper and not disclosed AI use 4% have used AI to translate a paper and disclosed AI use 43% have not used AI to translate have not used AI to translate a paper but would be willing to 49% have not used AI to translate a paper and would not consider it 4% have used AI to make summaries of other papers to use in own work and not disclosed AI use 4% have used AI to make summaries of other papers to use in own work and disclosed AI use 35% have not used AI to make summaries of other papers to use in own work, but have considered it 57% would not consider using AI to make summaries of other papers to use in own work 4% have used AI to write a first draft of paper without disclosing use 4% have used AI to write a first draft of a paper and disclosed use 29% have not used AI to write a first draft of a paper, but would consider it 63% have never used AI to write a first draft of a paper, and would never consider it

Just got mine.

Totally expected, but it still sucks.

Probably the most for all the work that so many of us put in on behalf of US taxpayers that is now wasted and will never come to fruition.
The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) has undertaken a review of its award portfolio. Each award was carefully and individually reviewed, and the agency has determined that termination of certain awards is necessary because they are not in alignment with current NSF priorites. Effective immediately, the following are terminated: NSF Award Id NSF is issuing this termination to protect the interests of the government pursuant to NSF Grant General Conditions (GC-1) term and condition entitled 'Termination and Enforcement,' on the basis that they no longer effectuate the program goals or agency priorities. This is the final agency decision and not subject to appeal.
