We hope that our criteria generate discussion, but also action towards supporting databases that are better aligned with these criteria. We assert "The future success of a bibliographic database will depend on its ability to work with the community to support innovation in scholarly communication." Thanks to @gin, Caitlin Carter, @JACoates, @KellyCobey, @katiecorker, @lizziegadd, @MsPhelps, Rebecca Lawrence, Eva Mendez, @cameronneylon, @jannepolonen, Bodo Stern, and @LudoWaltman

Together with 12 colleagues from across the research assessment and scholarly publishing ecosystem, today we propose four criteria for innovation friendly bibliographic databases. The full piece is here: https://upstream.force11.org/criteria-for-bibliographic-databases/

In contrast, we propose four criteria that characterize innovation-friendly bibliographic databases.

Recognize the broad variety of use cases for bibliographic databases and the need to offer flexibility to address different use cases in appropriate ways.
Accommodate diverse approaches to scholarly communication.
Acknowledge the importance of open peer review reports and other markers of trust.
Ensure involvement of the research community in the governance of the database.

The problem: "Researchers might expect that bibliographic databases are simply faithfully cataloging the scholarly corpus as it is published, but in actuality, many databases play an active role in choosing what to index and what to avoid. Some databases, notably Web of Science and Scopus, have built their brands on being highly selective, using bespoke (and often opaque) selection processes to determine what research 'counts' and gets to be included in a database."

I'll be blogging periodically for @ASAPbio@mas.to Today's post is about a large new survey on behalf of cOAlition S. Lots of great new data about researchers' thoughts on preprints and scholarly publishing.

@chartgerink@akademienl.social hi!! I just saw your post about the PsyArXiv bot on Twitter. I had no idea you were incurring costs for that! If you want to resurrect one for bluesky, please reach out to SIPS - we might be able to help with costs. There's some chatter over there about a broken bot now (so it may get solved already). I'll keep you posted if you like!
