First insights into address unification in OpenAlex, WoS & Scopus.
Findings: OpenAlex holds more unique addresses, but fewer item–address combinations. The share of addresses unified by our KB approach is lower than in proprietary DBs—yet promising & likely to improve. tinyurl.com/mv2xdtrc

Pour la première fois à l’échelle d’un pays entier, la France, une étude indépendante montre que les pratiques de #scienceouverte sont associées à une augmentation des citations.

In 2024 I cycled from the UK to China. I finally finished a vlog, so here it is if you'd like to watch it. It's a glorified holiday album with some complaints and maps 😂 youtu.be/MdgHZPfivVA

5,290 papers will be published at NeurIPS this year. If you could still get the proceedings in a book, it would be like 50,000 pages long. That’s 14.5 papers a day to read each and every day until the next NeurIPS

Un article collectif analyse la place du genre dans les sciences sociales. Qui mobilise cette perspective, quand et comment le fait-on ? L’article propose un tableau original de la part du genre dans les sciences sociales.

saying you’ll stand up for attacks on science in the US while honouring the person responsible for the attacks is like handing out bandages to people who are being savaged by your pet dog, while doing nothing to restrain him

Whoa! Elsevier fired @richardtol.bsky.social, longstanding Editor-in-Chief of the journal Energy Economics. Richard's side of the story should be ringing alarm bells. #EconSky

In July, ASAPbio @asapbio.bsky.social, Creative Commons, and major research funders launched a Preprint Policy Framework.
It outlines six best-practice components. We broke it down in a blog post, check it: buff.ly/2JMpTeL

"The open access movement has been successful at making papers freely available, but perhaps it has now run its course as a useful way of thinking about the future of publishing. "

Is AI opening up a new golden age of science, or is it about to mess it up?
How do we even begin to talk about it? 🧵

"We added the requested experiments and thank the reviewers for their helpful suggestions"

“Well I don’t like that study because it doesn't give me the result I want’

🤔

JAMA's data sharing policy is a joke. "We will not share our data with anybody" is an acceptable data availability statement.

On that basis, it's maybe not unreasonable that they won't enforce sharing against the people who pretended that they would, because they could have said they wouldn't. 🤷‍♂️

Peer reviewers are exhausted. It's common to spend *months* inviting reviewers, getting refusals, inviting more, maybe 12 or more, then 2 agree but 1 doesn't complete, so you go again. That's why your paper is in limbo. I'm very sorry, it's awful, but it's also an untenable academic labour issue.
