I’m not really present here anymore. What made Twitter great back in the day was the people, the community. Find me over in the fedi: @rmounce@mastodon.social

A lot of people posting about Rafael Luque and the role of ChatGPT in his prodigious output. But what I don't see enough of is the discussion of #Elsevier in enabling all of this. The vast majority of his 2023 papers are published by Elsevier journals. #PredatoryPublishing

Very happy that the long, long, long, long, long overdue day when the published results of all @NIH funded research is immediately freely available to everyone who can benefit from it. Kudos to the @NIH for making this happen, and eternal curses to the scientific societies, publishers and research 'leaders' who spent 30 years wielding their influence to block this, for the immeasurable harm to scientific progress and public trust in science they have wrought.
NIH Director Dr. Jay Bhattacharya has announced that the NIH Public Access Policy, originally slated to go into effect on 12/31/25 will now be effective 7/1/25. Read more in his statement: bit.ly/4jTQI4O

The new Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation open access policy will go into effect in January 2025. This policy mandates preprints for all grantees, encourages preprint peer review, and removes funding for APCs. Join us for a Q&A on the new policy. buff.ly/477cPQ7

“If OA was easy and obvious solutions existed, they would already be in place.” Indeed the obvious solution (diamond open access) has been in-place and happily operating continuously for many communities since ~1990 oad.simmons.edu/oadwiki/Earl…

And of course, the legendary Jiří Jaromír Klemeš, a well known #papermill author and corrupt editor had to be found in this journal, where he was EIC, editing his own paper! When will this madness ever stop! @ElsevierConnect just doesn't seem to care at all! #fraud
Dear lord! Another @ElsevierConnect journal with editors editing their own papers! The EIC of the Journal of Cleaner Production has at least 1 self-edited paper. WTF is happening with Elsevier and their 'environmental' journals? Nice spot from @Integrity88_PhD

It's official: People can have more fun online than in the physical world! In a study @tenobre explains that Austria, Cyprus, Denmark, Greece, Italy and Sweden only allow caricature, parody or pastiche on some platforms, but not elsewhere. communia-association.org/202…

I now get multiple new alerts for papers using @OpenAlex_org every day! It's great to see the research community building on open data, and great to see OpenAlex meeting this need!

There’s been so much noise about dramatic changes in this week’s QS rankings release that can all be traced back to a change in their ranking method. No-one has soared. No-one has plummeted. The Emporer has no new clothes. He is butt-naked, as ever. linkedin.com/posts/elizabeth…
