Innovation in scientific publishing and its implications for Crossref DOI registration practices - MetaROR’s approach doi.org/10.64000/vfe... Together with @andre-brasil.bsky.social I just published this blog post about @crossref.bsky.social DOI registration practices for @metaror.bsky.social.

Que pensent les chercheurs des annulations de Big Deals ? arxiv.org/pdf/2601.17033 : OK avec la critique du modèle éditorial ("absurde", "parasitaire") mais risque de pénaliser les petites disciplines, les jeunes chercheurs, les étudiants.

Le processus est engagé à compter de… Maintenant. Il faut donc trouver un nouveau job, en activant les procédures internes de nos institutions respectives. Si par ailleurs vous avez des pistes, nous sommes preneurs - mon CV est ici www.face-ecran.fr/sites/defaul... Mes MP sont ouverts.

Ah oui, la recherche avancée via un reverse proxy, je connais

Improving the #OpenAlex document type classification is needed. Meeting abstracts and book reviews are very often grouped under "article", skewing the counts. This new classifier from Nick Haupka is a good contribution toward fixing that problem.

And so it begins... 3 UK universities (Essex, Sussex & Kent) have just gone public about walking away from their Elsevier Read & Publish deals, despite Jisc's recently announced agreement. Expect to see more of these over the coming months. www.timeshighereducation.com/news/three-m... #OpenAccess

@cometadata.bsky.social has been demonstrating it's possible to do big things! Matched over ~400K preprints 1/ ~2 MILLION authors to RORs—now in an openly available dataset. Come learn what we've been up to, what's next, and how to get involved. Next community call next week. Details below.

ROR is completely and perpetually free -- as in, it costs you nothing to use. Read more about ROR's "business" model to learn how this is made possible by @crossref.bsky.social, @datacite.org, and @caldiglib.bsky.social. ror.org/about/#busin...

✨ 2025 in Review: Advancing Open Research Information as a Community In 2025, the Declaration continued to grow as a community-driven initiative, advancing concrete work to improve the openness, transparency, and community governance of research information; with more to come in 2026 🔽

🗓️2026 starts with a relevant development around research information @acm.org fully transitions to open access publishing, but puts metadata and search in ACM Digital Library behind paywall. More context: 🔗 cacm.acm.org/opinion/gran... www.ipetitions.com/petition/res...

There seems to be a decrease in the coverage of affiliation metadata in #OpenAlex, particularly with regard to journal articles published by Elsevier since 2024. Only around 6% of Elsevier articles published in 2025 have affiliation metadata. subugoe.github.io/scholcomm_an...

"Crossref was created back in 2000 by 12 ... publishers from North America and Europe, and by 2002 these members had registered 4M DOI records. At the time of writing, we have over 23,600 members in 164 countries ... These members have registered over 176M open metadata records with DOIs"

Despite this, Diana Hicks told us, “it certainly feels like mandating metrics gaming and so would encourage a culture not focused on integrity.”

This is a great thread. But three points. 1. Agree: profit in publishing is the central issue, but it needed the APC to go into overdrive. The mistake of the 2010s OA movement was to shift culture around access and not profit. This damanged sci publishing bc APCs incentivize quantity over quality

"My bold prediction? Scholar gets the axe within 5 years. Google will announce it with 12 months' notice, Bluesky will have a collective meltdown, universities will scramble for alternatives, and research workflows will be in chaos for years." hannahshelley.neocities.org/blog/2025_08...

"Google has a proven track record of killing academic tools, Scholar generates 0 revenue in a company obsessed with billion-dollar priorities, AI is disrupting traditional research discovery, academia has built critical infrastructure around a free commercial service with 0 guarantees."

L'OA repart à la hausse sur le marché de l'édition scientifique (+6,9% en 2024) : près de 50 % des articles sont publiés en OA, pour 20 % en valeur financière (prévision à 25% en 2027). L’APC moyen augmente, la part de l'hybride aussi. #OpenAccess www.deltathink.com/news-views-m...
