"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...

The secret life of university data? In this article, I argue that universities must work together to demand transparency and openness in how their data are transformed and used, and ensure university data serve the public mission, not private interests. www.universityworldnews.com/post.php?sto...

Citing openness and validity issues, Sorbonne University in France decides to no longer supply data to the THE-ranking and thus get delisted. This is 4th major European university to take this step, after Utrecht, Zürich and Lorraine. #universityrankings www.sorbonne-universite.fr/en/news/sorb...

📣 Sorbonne University withdraws from the Times Higher Education World University Rankings! 🎓 This withdrawal is not just a symbolic gesture. The decision comes as part of a broader strategy to promote #openscience and reform research assessment.

So that news is out: Sorbonne University is withdrawing from the THE University ranking (or rankings, since there is a new one every other week) www.sorbonne-universite.fr/en/news/sorb... @sorbonne-universite.fr @barcelonadori.bsky.social @coarassessment.bsky.social thank you @nalarcon.bsky.social

Academic authors, here's a peek into the black box of journal publishing from an journal editor if you can bear it:

NEW POST: NIH explores capping APCs: Let’s look at the evidence! We used data of NIH funded from 2025, and found that APCs for a few as 7% journals (or 6% of papers) would be fully covered by a $2K cap, 25% of journals (or 21% of papers) by a $3K cap. Read more! www.scholcommlab.ca/2025/09/03/n...

🇨🇭 Switzerland strengthens its commitment to the Barcelona Declaration! The University of Zürich has joined @cern.bsky.social and the @swissrn.bsky.social as signatories, showing Switzerland’s growing commitment to open and transparent research information.⬇️

Two times per year Google Scholar re-indexes its full database. That means your profile's indicators going down slightly to be recovered in a few weeks. This year the numbers are not fast recovering and in fact there is a gap of about 35 million records still not in the database.

Stephan Gauch (HU Berlin/KB) has reinterpreted the loose-leaf collection for bibliometrics, namely as a collection of short texts on core ideas of bibliometrics. It is aimed at students, practitioners and administrators, policymakers or simply anyone... Feel free to share! tinyurl.com/4a6ykvhp

A bold step for open research 🟨🟪👣 Wellcome has joined the Barcelona Declaration. A big move from one of the world’s leading research funders. With persistent identifiers and open metadata policies, they’re helping shift how research is recognized and rewarded. 🔗 wellcome.org/news/wellcom...

74.4% of the 21,886 WoS-indexed journals involve commercial professional publishers, 29% societies, and 27.8% research organisations as sole/co-publishers.
