A new view of the state of the scholarly publishing oligopoly: doi.org/10.1371/jour... Considering journals and papers published, big publishers have been losing ground, as many independent journals have been created, especially since 2000. With @juancommander.scholcommlab.ca @lariviev.bsky.social

On Thursday at 14:00 CET we will have another seminar! Franek will talk about „Developing Oligopolies Through Hegemonic Cycles” - so how can we apply methods developed by Wallerstein and Arrighi to analyse the rise of the oligopoly of academic publishers described by @lariviev.bsky.social ?

Today, our colleague Thed van Leeuwen gives his inaugural lecture at Leiden University. Ahead of the event, he shares key insights — calling for a more human-centred approach in #OpenScience. 📰 Read more: www.universiteitleiden.nl/en/news/2025... @leidensocial.bsky.social

The world's largest science publishers - which enjoy huge power & profits - consistently pay men more than women We analysed 8 years of #genderpaygap data & contrast staggering pay inequities w/ the warm glow publishers often get for #EDI #genderequality Pls share our new paper & Call to Action

New from The Strain Team: 🎊 Springer Nature Discovers MDPI 🎊 Springer Nature has spawned a copycat journal series called "Discover" mimicking #MDPI journal titles and citation behaviours. We even made a browser game to prove it (see 🔗). Gross! 😀 1/n #ResearchIntegrity #SciPub #AcademicSky

Un especial agradecimiento a @lariviev.bsky.social por darnos esta entrevista en profundidad, super rica, pausada, que fue un gusto realizar y traducir, y que hoy compartimos en inglés y castellano for all multilinguals out there 😊

My Canadian university, Queen's, is offering TWENTY 4-year funded PhDs (40k CAD/yr) for a student of ANY citizenship who has been accepted at a top 100 US university but have had offer rescinded OR are reconsidering offer due to US policy. Details found here👇 www.queensu.ca/grad-postdoc...

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

The Trump regime is now using US Attorneys to intimidate academic journals by sending them letters demanding they explain how they ensure ‘viewpoint diversity.’ Journal editors should be public about this and coordinate to refuse to comply with these fascist tactics.

"Junk papers proliferate at vanity journals and legitimate ones alike, due in part to the “publish or perish” ethos that pervades the research enterprise, and in part to the catastrophic business model that has captured much of scientific publishing since the early 2000s."
