But there are still gaps -- and that's just within the scholarly publishers. The problem compounds out on the open web.

So, what resources are available?

-retraction notification: initial search (advances in metadata are making it easier; e.g. CrossRef + RetractionWatch)
-retraction notification: post-search (end note, zotero, data from RetractionWatch)

There is wide variability across journals, and even within journals, on how retractions are displayed and labeled.

Why would anyone cite a retracted paper?

In a survey of researchers, 79% were unaware that the manuscript had been retracted.

84% reported double-checking citations before submission

Reasons for retraction vary, and can include: fabrication/falsification, errors, or ethical issues. #chsconf2025 #charleston2025

What is a retraction? It's purpose is the correct the literature -- not to make a judgement of the authors.

Landscape of diamond #OA is largely unknown in US

-How many Diamond OA publishers?
-What infrastructure is being used?
-How are these publishers resourced?
-What are their challenges?
-What investments are needed?
-What are the policies?

"Diamond open access leads with its values, and as you can see, the values make a very pleasing word cloud." The value of diamond #openaccess, however, is much harder to put in a word cloud. @camitchell.bsky.social #chsconf2025 #charleston2025

"If we want to see diamond #openaccess flourish as more than just part of a patchwork... we will have to rally together. No one is coming to build this for us. The future of diamond open access in the United States will depend on the choices we make." @lalair.bsky.social #chsconf2025 #charleston2025

Q: Thoughts on transition to online education?

LD: When done successfully, should be blended in ways that people can have experience. The experiential side is very important.

#chsconf2025 #charleston2025
November 5, 2025 at 2:55 PM
There’s a gap at a critical time.

Some thoughts:

-scale experiential learning
-scale career learning
-scale research

Information schools provide a broad range of focuses, changing from place to place —

-Academic
-Partnerships
-Professional
-Specific pathways (e.g. cultural heritage)

Reductive centers of gravity: research or vocational focus
