Interesting piece, where the author suggests to mandate open science practices as a way of preventing spam submissions. I still think -despite complaints about increasing bureaucracy- that *institutions* should play a more active role on reviewing what gets submitted with their name

A lire, vraiment. De plus, pas si désespérant que le titre le laisse croire.

#scholcomms shouldn't be a popularity contest. Chasing ever more submissions is having a serious deleterious effect on our industry, argues DataSeer founder & CEO Tim Vines, in this blog, republished from @scholarlykitchen.bsky.social dataseer.ai/2025/11/06/m...

Did #OpenAccess and #CreativeCommons open the door for AI firms to harvest research at scale? Not a “theft”, but non-consensual mining of academic works feels morally / ethically questionable. Will this affect submissions? @scholarlykitchen.bsky.social scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2025/11/03/c...

And more NC confusions here in 2015 scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2015/03/13/m...

Then I wrote about a different set of CC BY confusions in 2014 scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2014/12/10/c...

I wrote about this way back in 2012. Copyright can be a difficult concept to grasp, as can the difference between “use” of an article and “re-use” (or republication) of an article. scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2012/10/30/c...

Great post this week from @lisalibrarian.bsky.social that hopes to clear up some of the confusions around Creative Commons licenses and the use of such content for AI training. This speaks to the ongoing failure of the publishing and OA communities to make clear just what these licenses mean

"A CC license does not replace copyright law; it operates within it. It tells users, “here is what you can do without asking,” but it does not take away what they could have done if there were no CC license applied." — @lisalibrarian.bsky.social scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2025/11/03/c...

"Copyright’s foundation includes both exclusive rights and built-in freedoms. CC licenses expand one side of that balance — they do not erase the other." scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2025/11/03/c...

The focus on rising submissions as a sign of a healthy journal has led us into a terrible mess, says DataSeer founder and CEO Tim Vines. #scholcomm #scholcomms

“The second half of 2025 has seen dramatic increases in submissions at many journals, likely because Large Language Models make drafting (or outright fabricating) manuscripts so easy.”

Very first panel of #chsconf25, and a speaker repeats the claim that my piece in SK yesterday was written to explain isn't true. Please read! scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2025/11/03/c...

In certain fields, manuscript submissions are way up due to researchers using AI to help do data analysis and writing.

Interesting thought: "Instead, when the journal requires ‘honest signals’ of research integrity — time-consuming actions like sharing data and code, including RRIDs for reagents, or using ORCIDs — then helping authors to comply with these prior to initial submission accomplishes several good things"

Marion Schnelle and Deirdre Watchorn of @degruyterbrill.bsky.social capture EXACTLY what I've been writing about in recent times. Scholarly comms via social media is fragmented, exhausting researchers, and forcing them to be "everywhere at once" to stay visible 💔 Is #ATscience be the future? Yes!!

"Social media still matters, but for many, it has become a space of pressure, fatigue, and diminishing returns." Watchorn and Schnelle discuss the causes and effects of fragmented academic #socialmedia. Read the full post on the Scholarly Kitchen blog. @scholarlykitchen.bsky.social #ScholCom

all very resonant for the literary writing & publishing side of things, too— “the ecosystem loses diversity, vibrancy, & reach” & “loss of an important communication channel” & difficulty of maintaining/finding “deeper, more focused communities” feels very true post-twitter exodus

Do you ever feel there are too many things coming at us

This is something I have thought about a lot over the last couple of years, especially since 2022. The Great Pullback: Why Academic Social Media’s Fragmentation Matters @scholarlykitchen.bsky.social scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2025/10/29/g... 1/12

“…for all this moral clarity, the survey reveals gaping holes in institutional preparedness.” 🚨

AGREE: "Guest Post — The Great Pullback: Why Academic Social Media’s Fragmentation Matters" scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2025/10/29/g... I still mourn the loss of Twitter - it was so important to me when I moved back to Australia and was professionally isolated for a couple of years (plus COVID...)
