I’m cogitating themes arising from yesterday’s #CILIPConf23. A practical takeaway was to drown out all the #AI voices and noise. ‘Don’t make it bigger than it is.’ Focus on context, application, relevance to your discipline and sector. Read my @InfoProMag as well 😊 @CILIPinfo 👏

”People are starting to see how OA has been co-opted by publishers and poses other ethical issues. Five years ago people who opposed high APCs were only a handful of activists, that has changed.”
Does academia’s obsession with publication mean big publishers can do what they like?
Discussion sparked by @ImagingNeurosci with @rmounce, Nick Lindsay @mitpress, Claudio Aspesi, @old_light - topics likely to come up @CILIPinfo's #CILIPConf23
