In the strain on scientific publishing, we showed that total publications have grown out of control. A huge part of that was guest edited special issues by groups like #MDPI and #Frontiers.
This ongoing practice is the largest delegation of editorial power academia has ever seen.

I didn't think the #acm could make me dislike the ACM DL more, so, congratulations I guess, on figuring out a way to do that and ALSO make it more expensive to run at the same time, with AI summaries for things that already have abstracts

When the study confirms intuition:
"We find that the number of papers cited at least as well as those appearing in high-impact factor journals vastly exceeds the number of papers published in such venues."

Why do we seemingly all agree replication studies are essential for our discipline, yet make them so hard to publish? Where and how exactly can I publish replication study without being rejected for “lack of novelty” or accused of self-plagiarism?

Here are two easy things YOU can do:
#1 Every academic supporting #openscience and #openaccess should consider ORE as their primary publishing venue and ask colleague/co-authors to do the same.
#2 Point your librarian, institutional leaders, funding agencies towards the documents linked above […]
