High-level comparisons with Scopus and lots of details to better understand OpenAlex. Just as importantly, we also lay some "Remaining Core Questions for the Community". MORE NEEDED!

Hopefully this is just the first of many studies that can help improve OpenAlex to make goals of @BarcelonaDORI@mastodon.social a reality. https://arxiv.org/abs/2404.17663

The Masters of Publishing Program at SFU (where I work!) now has a Scholarly Communications stream. If you're into
#scholcomm
, this could be a good program for you (or your students, or people you know!). Let's spread the word. Questions welcome! https://www.sfu.ca/publishing/master-of-publishing.html.html

ALS takes away so much from you. Marta kept teaching and writing long after she lost the ability to speak. She typed out her lectures with one barely moving hand. It was inspiring. I've already contributed, but will now match all donations in her name up to $1000. DM me your receipt.

Earlier this week, the #scholcommlab published a Statement of Support for PACBI Principles. With it, I reject my university's (SFU's) complicity in the ongoing genocide in Gaza, and call them out for restricting my ability to direct the work of @PublicKnowledgeProject@mastodon.social in a principled way. www.scholcommlab.ca/pacbi/

@hauschke Yes, this is very technically possible. I think the better way to implement this would be through the Notify Protocol, but we've yet to see that widely adopted. @jeroenbosman @LudoWaltman @essepuntato @komet

@toothFAIRy as for the participant information, I don't recall us removing any detail. We did make a handful of revisions, mostly minor, including some additions. I'd have to check with Lauren who spearheaded the revisions to check. And thanks! Glad it was of interest!

@toothFAIRy Take Two worked great, and makes so much sense. Just because an article is not a good fit for some journal, does not mean that all that reviewer work should go to waste! Now you can point them to "these are the conversations that this research group had" instead 😅
