This interesting new preprint on SocArXiv shows that "The landscape of academic journals is beyond the oligopoly: it is diverse and often grounded in public, academic-driven initiatives rather than market imperatives." osf.io/preprints/so...

"Our findings challenge the prevailing narrative that a few commercial publishers dominate global scholarly publishing. While prior analyses based on selective indexes reinforced the perception of an oligopoly [...], examining diverse national contexts reveals a more pluralistic reality."

I received two book chapter invitations on the same day. One gives a 5-day window from submission to publication. The other outlines a 2-year process with clear milestones: draft writing, reviews, revisions, and editing. The difference speaks for itself.

Our paper "Learned societies in the academic landscape: challenges in identifying and categorizing organizations" was published today in Scientometrics: doi.org/10.1007/s111... Thank you Emanuel Kulczycki, @mikaellaakso.bsky.social and @zehrataskin.bsky.social for the great collaboration!

We are continuing our series of internal seminars on Bernal's "Social Function of Science". It is an inspiring and strongly multidisciplinary approach to science. Simultaneous study of economics, politics and science is practised in many research in our Group

Arkadaşlar, takipleşmeyi bırakıp bir şeyler yazsanız burası daha ilginç bir yer olabilir.

I joined Bluesky 2 years ago to share my works with international colleagues. I used to post in Turkish on Twitter, mainly about politics and current events. But after Elon Musk’s interventions, I’ve decided to leave X. So, I’ll now be posting in both English and Turkish here +

74% of 21,886 WoS-indexed journals involve professional publishers, 29% learned societies, and 28% research organisations as publishers or collaborators. Check out our new preprint co-authored with @zehrataskin.bsky.social, Emanuel Kulczycki and @mikaellaakso.bsky.social: doi.org/10.31235/osf...

It's raining preprints, hallelujah 🎶 Here is my latest preprint (review article) >> Sustaining the ‘frozen footprints’ of scholarly communication through open citations osf.io/preprints/so...

Note: the academic community was paying billions to publishers before OA existed. OA models make these costs more apparent, but don't make publishing cheaper. Diamond OA might, let's see! [Nb2: figs here are overestimates. Can't account for waivers, discounts, or transformational-agreements].

New preprint out today with @ekulczycki.bsky.social @jpolonen.bsky.social, @zehrataskin.bsky.social.

A very important paper by @zehrataskin.bsky.social & al. on the distribution of journal publishers, especially on copublications (say a learned society + a commercial publisher) which is the case for 1/3 of the journals. Only WoS but still more than 21K journals. #STS osf.io/preprints/so...
