In more lovely #digipres #scholcomm news...
#Medknow was bought by #WoltersKluwer and now some 10 % of the 10.4103 #DOI's are broken, pointing to a default lww.com or journals.lww.com frontpage.
That's without counting the minority cases which give you either a #Thieme 404, a broken OJS install or a #CLOCKSS copy through chooser.crossref.org, etc.
New study: "At least 67 hijacked #journals…have penetrated #Scopus since 2013. Of these, 33 journals indexed unauthorized content in Scopus and 23 compromised the homepage link in the journal's profile, while 11 did both. As of September 2023, 41 hijacked journals are still compromising the data of legitimate journals in Scopus."

I missed this so maybe you did too:
In 2021, WHO began requiring that all WHO-authored and WHO-funded journal articles must be " published in an open-access journal or on an open-access platform."
They want authors to use journals that are indexed in DOAJ and that deposit the version of record in PMC.
If I were the Gates Foundation or the Wellcome Trust, and I saw this workaround for the requirement that my foundation's money could be spent on OA APCs only if the journal is all-OA rather than hybrid, I would not be happy. #scholcomm

Good question from #WindCowles on #OpenData policies: "How do we move from a compliance mindset, which promotes a minimalist approach in which researchers might only put in the minimum amount of effort and thus potentially share poorly documented or disorganized data, to an ecosystem that actually enables and rewards open, equitable, and accessible scholarship?"

New study: "More than 70% of #DiamondOA journals are published by universities, around 15% by publishing companies, while the rest are published by societies, professional associations, or libraries. A disruptive approach requires a shift in researchers’ mindset, recognizing and promoting the value of these journals, and actively seeking to publish in them."

A humane alternative to #ReviseAndResubmit from #ChristineWilliams:
https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/impactofsocialsciences/2022/05/26/the-case-against-revise-and-resubmit/
"After peer review, editors should have two options: reject or conditionally accept. A conditional acceptance means that the editor or their deputy commits to working with the author until the paper is published. There could never be a second round of anonymous reviews, which only encourage reviewers to dig in their hills, pick at nits, become combative, etc."

Update. More coverage of the #cOAlition_S proposal, with a few comments from me.
https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-03342-6
#cOAlition_S is calling for public comments on its proposal for steps "Toward Responsible #Publishing".
https://www.coalition-s.org/blog/introducing-the-towards-responsible-publishing-proposal-from-coalition-s/
"The new proposal is anchored in two key concepts that extend #Plan_S:
1. Authors, not third-party suppliers, decide when and what to publish…
2. The scholarly record includes the full range of outputs created during the research cycle, and not just the final journal-accepted version."
[3/7] Principle 2: All scholarly outputs should be shared immediately and openly, so researchers can adapt, reuse, and build upon other people's results, at no cost to themselves. #OpenAccess #ScholComm
Question: If a journal receives a submission within its scope, and has trouble finding referees, how long should it wait, or how long should it keep trying, before it notifies the authors and invites them to submit the manuscript elsewhere?
I'm prompted to ask this question by the case described in this article, which is about "handling editors" rather than referees.

Chat with husband about X and its idiotic, megalomaniac proprietor. We both are hardly there and on the rare occasions that we do check in we notice how hollow the communities have become. When I mentioned that somehow a lot of #institutions #libraries #openaccess and #scholcomm folks still hang on, he said: "You know who advertises there a lot? Springer and the other one, Elsevier. Whenever I check my feed, they flood it. I always block them. They are total scum." God, I love this man.

Like others in this thread, I still have many more followers on X than here. But I also have much more engagement here. This may depend on one's topic. But my topics (#OpenAccess, #OpenScience, #OpenData, #ScholComm...) overlap with yours. Plus, here we have #OpenSource, no ads, and no worries about lending our weight to the network effects enriching a dangerous man+company.
New study: "#Preprint review services have the potential to turn #PeerReview into a more transparent and rewarding experience and to improve publishing and peer review workflows. We are witnessing the growth of a mixed system in which preprint servers, preprint review services and journals operate mostly in complementary ways. In the longer term, however, preprint review services may disrupt the scholarly communication [#ScholComm] landscape in a more radical way."

Sometimes, there's poetry in numbers.
Today, as we celebrate our **20th** year, we hit **20,000** journals indexed in #DOAJ . Strangely satisfying, wouldn't you agree?

1/ I'm seeing a definite shift from protesting high subscription prices at non-OA journals to protesting high #APCs, and APCs as such, at APC-based #OA journals.
On the one hand, this is a sign of progress. There's rising acceptance that #OpenAccess is the future and #subscriptions are the past. We're fine-tuning how to do the future and debating different forks in the road.
On the other hand...

Dritjon Gruda makes a good case against the custom (sometimes a rule) to submit new articles to just one journal at a time.

From July 27, 2022:
"This week’s Twitter spats in #scholcomm have me thinking about Wittgenstein’s remark: 'Hegel seems to me to be always wanting to say that things that look different are really the same. Whereas my interest is in showing that things which look the same are really different.'"

If you've heard that Chinese research reforms "restrict" #OpenAccess publications, don't draw the wrong conclusion. The restrictions are merely "a prohibition to use research funding to pay for article processing charges (#APC), except for high-quality publications, and the blacklisting of #predatory journals."

Good line from Jamie Caridi, president of Bethany College: “There are so many orthodoxies at [colleges and universities]; some are load-bearing and important, and some honestly just weigh down the institution. You don’t know which is which until you start taking a hard look at things.”

The costs, the effort (family organisation, hotel search, logistics...), the travelling: I find it hard to justify. The more events that are held virtually, the better, cheaper, more CO2-efficient and, above all, more inclusive.
